dillydog 8,463 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Chocolate to chocolate only gets chocolate pups, Glyn hasn't got a say in it unless he uses a black dog back in the mix. 5 Quote Link to post

As I’m guessing all Brians terriers will have been black back then? Quote Link to post

A couple of generations or 15 years I mated half brother sister both out of my bitch Rags , and a dog from That litter mated back to another daughter of Rags , produced the first two, then my cousin mated two terriers same way bred and produced 4 more from 2 litters , all blacks come from choc blood but you won't read that In the fell terrier Edited September 3, 2019 by Glyn..... 4 Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 I always thought the chocs appeared from mating blacks to black and tans? The choc being a dilution of the black and tan? Quote Link to post
Apache... 2,588 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 I know that some of Cockers blood originates back to Breays stuff and my dogs have a lot of Alan's blood in them and they produce the odd pup with chocolate legs and have been for years, I know it's heavily diluted but the blood must still be there after all this time. I've heard that Breay bred the odd chocolate pup now and again. Quote Link to post

The choc being a dilution of the black and tan? much of our knowledge comes from the likes of plummer and the fell terrier , plummer wrote most of his stuff on a linear footing backed up or helped along by people with vested interest for whatever reason and that is how history is written , other authors fell in line , but i've been obsessed by these dogs for most of my life and have read tons and tons of books for little snippets, plummer was so close at one point but with his self importance mixed with a good helping of asslicking missed it , he was spoon feed a history , but what i call the patterdale type didn't suddenly appear from a mishmash of cross breeds types , the type had been around for at least a hundred years before that date as smooth liver or as we call them choc 's , read plummers accounts of patterdales in his working terrier book , its f***ing sad, 3 years later he knew it all 1 Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 The cover drawing on the Fell Terrier is a copy of a photo inside, and I’m sure it says underneath the photo something like ‘Chocolate fell terrier, sold for a record fee at that time’ or something similar.
