Rabbit Hunter replied to Hepher's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
From what I've heard of the bitch she's a real good 'un Hepher, as is the half brother you have mate, hopefully I'll have another bred the same way soon... -
No problem matey... , touch wood the old bitch has a good litter...

how you doin bud you ok ? any pics of your bitch ? !! Now mate, havn't heard from you in a while, the bitch isn't mine, just looking after her for a mate.

I have the litter sister to this dog in my kennels, isn't as strong as the dog in the pics, same colour though...like Downsouth said out of a good bitch...

I don't really rate Chapman's books, 'Work them hard...' by Harcombe is the best book you'll read on working terriers IMO, 'Dig Deep...' by Darcy is also a quality book as are the two little terrier volumes he has. Avoid Frain books...SHITE.
-
Yes it is mate...Will be reviewed shortly in the countrymans...Nearly 200 pages and 48,000 words very comprehensive covering 14 terriermen in the first volume, with another two volumes planned...All top digging men.Plenty of quality pictures. I got the letter through the post today about the new book, looking forward to it as it looks and sounds good, also gives Darcy some competition...:kiss: , the terriermen mentioned sound reputable except that D.C...king messer... :tongue2:
-
Is it a book on terriermen Pick and Shovel?? Well said Busterdog, a lot of good lads are pulled to bits on here and not on here to defend themselves...

Some fleet that Mik...

MESSER...you've only hijacked the post because you're wanting one of the pups... :laugh: , and them Hurworth foxes?? I didn't think they had a hunt with the amount of charlies that reside there.. :whistling: .
-
Yeah I know mate, but the difference between your kennels and a lot of other chocolate dogs is that yours are worked hard season after season and produce workers which is a lot harder to breed in than the choccy colour is...
-
I wondered why the you had so many choccy's in your kennels Buster, you bloody show pony...
-
Double post.

IMO the ideal situation is to get in the right circles with the right lads and once you can be trusted and a spare pup comes along you might get offered it free of charge, but it's difficult to get into them circles. I paid £150 for each of my first two terriers, both from different breeding, but both really well bred which I thought was a decent price for well bred pups, I paid £200 for my third terrier which was ten month old when I got it and also very well bred so was a decent price I thought. The first dog died to ground in his third season, the second dog entered easily and hasn't put a

Sealyhams. Anyone working them?
Rabbit Hunter replied to welshwizard's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Interesting stuff Duckwing, nice to hear stories from years past, also living near the areas you mention...seems the north east has been a hotbed for digging dogs in the past... -

fox nets [double peggers]
Rabbit Hunter replied to Simply Bull 02's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
I've never seen double peg nets before, I can't see how they would purse as efficiently as a single peg one?? I get my nets made 8 foot long in a variety of colours including pink off a strange welsh fella...
