    Jeeemes - I'm surprised at you .I would of thought by now you would have a line going that was worthy of the title .Its clear to me you have the knowledge so what's the problem mate .To piss about with bits and pieces for years is to waste precious time imo

    Saying that there are those that thrive on this sort of thing .In the ranks we look up to .Sold their souls to the devil for a fast buck that that brings nothing but wanting more

    Brings back memories of the old poletrap so beloved by our forebearers .Im old enough to remember the time they were just legal.We used to try to beat the local keeper to his catches as they could be saved if fresh .

    If you cant see both parents ,dont part with hard earned anyway .Do a bit of background on the seller and his dogs and never buy on impulse .

    And you cant ask for more than that ,good luck doing what you do mate

    The other side of the coin is that maybe a terrier was never meant to be an all rounder !We have breeds far more suited to this if you discount earth work .Rabbits for me are a nuisance but rats are work on a large scale .Earth work is the reason I own terriers with fringe benefits,lol

    Don't read to much into this post. Was a craze a while back for very short backed box headed dogs but not seen one for a long time .If bred for a purpose ,conformation follows as there can be no other way forward .

    Personally I think rabbits do a digging dog no harm unless its positively encouraged .If I kept mine away from them they would never be off lead as the buggers are everywhere out the back fields .A bit of free range hunting up is inevitable but does not effect the digging one bit .You need to get things into perspective and think about reality .Not many terrier owners live in areas that are devoid of rabbits therefore excerise is one big hunt off lead and let's face it the terrier needs free running for fitness .Once working though I've never owned a terrier that preferred rabbit to its real

    Pushed up against a wall it would suit me .very neat mate

    kennels all the way and individually too .Single handed kennels ,single handed holes.

    To think we lost all this cuts me to the bone .Might have wrote same earlier in thread but needs saying again

    What happened to all the Wheaten coloured Borders.....not seen one for years Strange one... Show fashion changed mate

    Can I ask why she's now not suitable.if its her age and you want a younger dog then fair play but be wary she doesn't end up churning out pups .

    if youve got a pond they aint so nice believe me .Should be on the vermin list Good pic though

    Decided on a look out with my son to a small place i have .Farmer mentioned a litter of cubs so sat up to see what showed .Long and short was no show for a fox but i did glass a buck out on a meadow below us and as ive not had one from here yet i decided to take a look .A very nice buck with a young doe .Another buck in the same field too .This is usually the time of year when they get a bit recluse so to see two was a real bonus .Both sixes and not much in them to so the nearest buck was my chosen quarry . The stalk up to a shootable position was slow with my son looking on from a gateway

    Many thanks to dtkos for those names .Scum to keep at arms length.Been on the receiving end of a few of them my self .

    Birds of prey such as owls and kestrels prey on the rodents in the stuper stage before death .IMO people have relied on poisons too much in the past instead of good husbandry and traditional methods.The professionals are equally to blame .Turn up to a premises and straight away start poisoning instead of any other methods .A good clean up is what most premises want but no money where theres no rats .Not a dig just an observation.An infestation can be controlled without poison but most pros wouldnt entertain the thought as its very labour intensive . These so called super rats are a product of

    Anybody serious about breeding and WORKING these dogs needs to get away from the name and think of work only.Not one person i know of that is successful at breeding a working line, is or was, concerned over colour or looks or club affiliation .To talk of not culling says it all to me as no doubt they will re-enter the gene pool down the line .Treat your stock as workers and not investments and no matter how small the gene pool and the proper use of outcrosses you will succeed .If a few of you are that concerned then get together to formulate a plan that dosnt involve colour or money .The stig
  23. Squirrel_Basher
    Any outcross IMO should have at least one traceable line to what you are trying to improve otherwise its guess work and will take years to prove if it was successful or not .Personally i would say in your position i would keep folding back in UNLESS there are undesirable traits you need to breed out .The gene pool of WORKING Plummers cant be that big even if you had to start again .I would never look to a type that was originally used to create ie Lucas ,beagle ,Russell.The offspring would be far removed from your ideal .Work what you have ,cull what dosnt ,fold back in to a strong stud dog.Iv

    Walsh never has nor ever will be a kickboxing champion .Lad that works for me used to do the circuits up until last year .No-one he knows has heard of Walsh at all and thats going back 20 years.He may do a bit but champion never .Hopefully this thread has wised up a few and made a few lads new to the game think a bit .This Pete Rice seems to be a dead end though .cant believe no ones not run into him out hunting ,camo jacket ,telephoto lens ,blue discovery,weasely face.Defo a link as he lost ,lol,his phone last year and MW was on it .Might get to lose another this winter so we"ll see .These pa
