No rumour DC, the bitch in the lads hands was from a dog rescue center, without her there wouldn't be any of the others in the other pictures. If I could get another that worked like her I'd have

I had a border Russell from the dogs home many years ago when digging was still legal,sadly died of cancer aged 9 but the most sensible level headed dog I,ve ever owned, she would stay down for hours,

Speaking of getting pups that were bred and handed back, my mate had a border/patt x staff/patt bitch about 9yrs ago, she came up from Cork, handy wee bitch. He asked me could he put my Lakeland over

Different times FD, it was back when a majority of regular Russell's would do a bit and hunting was simply part of everyday life. She was well taken care of and lived a good long life, which is the aim of rehoming stray dogs. Never produced anything with the same working ability though ..ATB?

I had a border Russell from the dogs home many years ago when digging was still legal,sadly died of cancer aged 9 but the most sensible level headed dog I,ve ever owned, she would stay down for hours, bay but never engage and you could call her out if the dig was a no go, she was also very true and if she went in 9 out of 10 times something was home, also got the best lurcher I,ve owned from the dogs home, I think it's more to do with the time I had to put in to the dogs than the breeding of them, I was out 5/7 days a week never worked and the dogs were with me everywhere I went, they even spent a few nights in the cells of the local police station with me, all of the dogs in the group were from the dogs home, the bigger lurcher had a lamping accident and never lived long enough to reach its potential and the Black and Tan terrier was a bit to headstrong but the whippet and the little brown bitch were the best I,ve owned,

If you see something you like and you can give it a fair chance to blossom then why not ?

I wouldn't advocate doing it when there's other options on the table, much better to find a well bred pup and put some time and effort into it.

It's a long story how I came by Jess but the short version is I gave it a chance because I was going professional and it would at least give a decent terrier a rest when she was out instead. I chucked everything and kitchen sink at the bitch, it sounds c**t' ish but she didn't mean anything to me so I just kept piling on the graft. She never missed a beat, she made everything look easy and soon earned her place in my yard.

Would I do it again. .......no, because I'm a terrier SNOB and it's beneath me ??
