As promised I promised I'd kept ye updated , he's 12 months now and 21 tts , he kept his kind of 'seal coloured coat , he was fairly easy to train , sits jumps etc with ease , he'll tear a ditch down with the teckels and he's very gamey and 'switched on' quite easily the most switched on pup I've ever owned , he's got a mink by accident and made very quick work of it , only seen a little bit of the lamp as I'm not big into running dogs young but all I can say is I'm quite happy with him so far.
