Thanks for the reply. Can't argue with you goldfinch as I have no idea how your dog was compared to the ones that I own; I have 4 plummer bitches who are all descendants of vandal, one of them as close a grandaughter, 2 great grandaughters and 1 gt gt grandaughter It is one of the great grandaughters that is the best I personally own hunting-wise, at the moment.

Guest 10/22 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) I have a son of vandal, hes probably been the most important sire in the history of the modern day plummer terrier as far as his influence on the breed has been. though he is very sharp as are some of his offspring, not everyone can cope with this as many plummer owners like docile dogs as they are easier to deal with. though now we are seeing milder dogs coming through which do carry the same qualities, its all about improvement without losing type, quality, ability, soundness and consistancy. We have a bedlam(who was by vandal) bred bitch out working this season, who is proving to be formidable Edited February 13, 2009 by 10/22 Quote Link to post
