    Well lads and ladies it was johns funeral today , as a lifetime member of the d&nwtc and as terrier man in general I can say I have never been as embarrassed /sad in my hole life , the turnout consisted of mainly johns church/ catholic friends , at a rough guess I would say no more than twenty dog lads and wife's , this was for  a man  along with Barry wild ,who by the way travelled all the way to consett  today have fought for and made / kept things legal to enter a terrier to ground today . Barrie thank you for the gift to young esme ??

    I could not make it as I live in west Wales and have work commitments unfortunately,  but my dad was there who knew John well

    If it was not for NWTF we would not have terrier work as it is today and It would have been banned years ago if it wasn't for the tireless work  done by the man who runs the NWTF. I won't name the man who runs it on here but I for one appreciate everything he does for us and terrier work.

    RH , our club just keeps some money in the bank incase of any rescues are needed and they have to get machines in . Any extra every year goes to various charities which the club gives to every year . They also give money to the nwtc every year to keep their funds up . We are also kept up to date with any changes in the laws .

    I was at a show on Sunday and there was a lot of Lakelands of various guises , white / black / red and black n tans . Imoa they were rubbish nothing like what they were originally bred to purpose for . It's good to see on here some stronger type like they should be imo and doing what they were bred for . I would just like to say not all of the Lakelands were rubbish but the strong type never got a look in . So sad to see

    I had this just before dark a few days ago,  it was over and hour before I even started as I was waiting for reinforcements lol. The dog sat and worked the quarry nice and steady but had no idea if I was still there, I've seen plenty over the years that would walk just to see if you were still there !

    Most common mistake that I've seen over the years imo is a lot of people want to dig their dog out straight away,  as soon as they hear them yap in a spot they have the shovel out . Sit back keep calm and have a cuppa then check out the state of play . Years ago we never had the pleasure of pin pointing the dog before on top , we had to search for the dog after a period of time . We still then after finding the dog had a cuppa and then start to dig to the dog . Makes for a better dog I'd say .
