  1. Great result... Looks like brilliant craic. Some service to the farmer! Well done all...?
  2. Sounds like you've a fair idea of things as is Steve. Reckon you need 2 lifetimes to get a proper grasp of line breeding... Just when you think you've cracked it, you're thrown a curve ball. I don't care who you are, no-one is an expert! I've been around and dug with some of the greats. And although great terriermen, they made mistakes and didn't get it right just like everyone else. I agree all good dog men have to be obsessed and live for terrierwork. What I would say is and this is just my opinion and like everyone else I'm no expert. You need to know the breeding behind your line, the good
  3. Done that too... Again mixed results over several litters! In conjunction with and without the Eurican ....
  4. Both myself and my buddy used it and got mixed results across several litters... It by no means guarantees a healthy litter. On the whole I'd agree it's worth a try just don't get your hopes up...
  5. They reckon it's canine herpes. A pal who keeps a very decent line and knows his dogs won't breed off an old stud. He believes they won't produce sound, strong, quality pups. Not sure do I agree. I've asked several huntsmen.. none agree with him. Any thoughts?
  6. That's a fair point.. you're right, if he bred litters solely for the right reasons ie. Improving/maintaining a working line then of course there's a big difference than simply churning out pups for money. Point taken in that regard. I don't know the man or the line...
  7. By the sounds of things AC is a gent and his terriers seem to have a v good name. But correct me if I'm wrong, did he not get his terriers from someone else originally and sold pups, more than likely quoting the original breeding as he did. And all this time did he not use outcrosses along the way... So are they still pure AC terriers? & If he never used any outcrosses are they not pure original owners terriers?
  8. Totally agree, there is no excuse for cruelty and law breaking... That's not my point!
  9. 2 wrongs don't make a right! Use your head and think outside the box... And if you still feel the same say it to your mate down the pub but shut the f@ck up on the net and stop helping the antis in their plight to finish hunting... You strike me as no fool but you most certainly are acting like one! If you've nothing good to say say nothing! ... I'll say no more on the subject
  10. There's good and bad in all walks of life.... I'm not happy with them idiots but united we stand regardless of how we've been treated in the past we stay united for the greater good... What about all the hunts who do abide by the law you've done them or any of us no favor with your I'll thought out flippant comments! Cop on and think before making a fool of yourself and others! Plenty of numpties in the terrier world too...
  11. Why don't you keep what you know to yourself ya clown, instead of announcing it to the world... You're not helping anyone!
  12. Have to say Scarface, I've always found the opposite ... Couldn't ask for better people to be amongst! Honest, genuine, decent lads.... Who would never see you stuck. Dogs are only ever gifted ... Best of luck with the pup!
  13. You must be mixing in the wrong circles bud, plenty of decent genuine lads out there!
  14. I know of a few with his blood but as you say well diluted by now, I wouldn't be the one to ask then either...
  15. Don't know TP, but correct me if I'm wrong, he seems to have known what he was about and had well bred working terriers besides the AC side of things... That Bruno dog was a cracking well bred animal as good as any other and threw quality workers to boot... That's why I asked how Holly was bred
  16. I hear you Sid, regarding the terrier section. Joe would definitely have known and mixed with good white dog men here, so chances are he would have gotten white terriers via Joe and as you say he spent many a wkd digging over here... With good men besides Joe, who kept white dogs...I heard he got terriers off them. Twould be interesting to hear about it... As I said earlier white working terriers have crossed the sea in both directions amongst genuine men playing their part in keeping working lines up to standard. And long may it continue...no matter atb!
  17. I understand you're not interested and that's fair enough, I'm interested and others may be too... It's part of history and a valid question. He certainly had dealings with enough decent terriermen from Ireland and I for one heard he did
  18. Can anyone ask KG, did he get white terriers from Ireland, via Irish friends living in the UK or otherwise ?
  19. SE is one man??? Are you seriously mentioning the white terrier scene in Ireland in relation to one man!? Who wouldn't be renowned for them throughout the island anyway, not that I know of. (If I am thinking of the right man). I could list off initials of men you would know nothing about... How could you it's not written in any books. You mention Kg, where do you think he may have gotten some of his white terriers from? He certainly had the opportunity to. Not all of history can be gotten from books. As for plumber's rubbish you're welcome to em...lol. That's all I'm going to say on the subjec
  20. I only ever read Plummer talking about white dogs from Ireland being the foundation of whatever mens stuff in the UK, but am not doubting he said the reverse also. I see Brian Nuttal mention that the Irish white dogs came from JP originally, a bit of bull was added and some made their way back to TD & RD etc etc. Just because Nuttal or Plummer states otherwise doesn't make it so. There was white working terriers in Ireland as far back as anywhere else... Working terriers of all types have always crossed the water in both directions. And long may it last amongst genuine terriermen. One or
