  1. This sport is less without Plummer. He was charismatic and yes invited cotroversy. His legacy will never be repeated, a fact many will not like or accept but a fact nonetheless. He loved winding the macho element of the sport up, quite deliberate and hopelessley one sided given his superior intellect. Many tried to emulate his writing acheivments and indeed his style but failed miserably.

     

    Whether you think he succeded or not he strived to creat a strain Terrier to work and he wasnt the least bit interested in showing, unlike many of the 'digging heroes' who in the late 80's and 90's were quietly busy outcrossing Russels with unproven show orientated Lakelands, Lakelands with typey non-working show bred and KC Lakelands with the single aim of creating standardised dogs that won shows and sold pups. Some people, including myself, were not fooled by the fell boots and tartan shirts.

     

    I simply cannot understand the animosity other than to suggest people felt and feel challenged by his academic approach to the sport. In other words if you misunderstand something and therefore feel inadequate, attack it. There is no other rational explanation.

     

    Nice dog by the way.
