Which hasn't happened on this thread admittedly.....but has happened on this site

[Phil Lloyd 10,736]

Well, I have never heard anyone say such a thing .so why would you mention it...?

 Perhaps you listen to silly rumors,..this is always a foolish and frequently dangerous, mode of behavior...

Do not quote me when making such claims.

 

[DIDO.1 20,849]

Lol, 

Sorry if you took that as an accusation that you have said such things.... But it has been said on this very site. Like I say for some....who have no actual proof of the things they say it has become an obsession......

JMHO but you have to say it as you've seen it and not start rumours etc.

BUT, Plummer wrote an article in an Irish Fieldsports Magazine about the type of people who keep black working terriers and for example he wrote in the article that the owners of such terriers are on the same I.Q. as Chimpanzees. That's one example of the abuse he dished out to those who kept a terrier type he helped glorify. He made a nice penny writing about those he despised, the hunting man.

Also, Plummer wasn't only ridiculed after his death but several good down to earth working dogmen told him in life what they thought of him.

If he was starting his writing career now he'd be a non contender.

Whos slagging him i think we are having a debate and if we buy the books and read them surely we are able to debate about the contents and the authors ?.

Whatever the truth in Plummers books, he could sure tell a tale 

 

Cheers, D.

Well said Neil ! 

To those lads with black dogs and a bull cross, he was no friend 

was also a constant critic of those lads who ran the fens with Saluki hybrids 

if you weren’t an aficionado of artisan hunting, you were nothing to him!

Didn't he set out to breed the ulimate 3/3 match dog?

[THE STIFFMEISTER 14,558]

Yep 

and caanan sank without a trace 

“to breed a superlative hare dog is relatively simple” I believe is a direct quote 

[mackem 23,741]

You must have really studied his articles to remember what he wrote word for word like that.

Was a jacker and ended up in the bin ....not totally sure but think jb of east anglia has something to do with it ....

hes fond of saying all this open challenge stuff, and how his dogs were considered to be the best scene. 

I know for a fact a certain northern “lurcher afficianado “ wrote to him or received a letter from him expressing a challenge

he never got a reply??!!!

Sometimes phraseology just stays with you don’t it?

There you go WILF mate you’re not alone ?

[Gilbey 1,408]

don't remember the 3/3 thing but mind a pic of Cannaan in a book with something like "a top winning courser" then he writes she's only caught rabbits as there's no hares at Caithness and he's sending her to a friend at Norfolk?

mind he was going to breed a top coursing greyhound that worked as a lurcher as well, Emerald Joe green possibly? Had a load helping him but was quickly forgotten about.

seemed to go out of his way to slag salukis, but even as a kid it was obvious he had little if any experience of them, years later when he went out with a proper saluki man and his young bitch he was impressed and wrote a article praising them?

could go on about other stuff but can't be bothered
