Working Terrier History


Recommended Posts

I just like to share this with the lads on here who are interested with everything concerning earth dog`s. I must confess i`m just a messer compared to some but i have always owned a Terrier of some sort for the last 30 years or more and i could never be without one.

A few years ago i met an old guy who use to see me walking the dogs he always use to have a little white smooth coated Russell you know the little one`s with bowed front legs.

Well that little dog that looked nowt was out of a blood line once used by the Great Terrier man Bert Gripton.

The old boy never used that dog in the ground and with a sunken heart admitted he was too old but loved the dog just as a companion. I suppose some things always come to an end at some point?

Anyway i ended up being quite good friends with this old boy and to cut a long story short he handed over a wad of old photographs along with some old Terrier memorabilia.

I wonder if Darcy`s book`s will have similar interest 30/40 years from now or will they be consumed in the vast wilderness dessert that threatens ,lol..
