    The bloke you are on about is George Kelly of Brownhills Staffs.Many years ago I drove for 3.5 hours to get to his house to look at a Collie Grey x Beddy Grey that he said was out of outstanding working parents and would win any show. I was on the dole at the time and scraped up the cash to barely cover the cost of the bitch and the fuel. The bitch was a nice looker on first impressions but when he let her out of her kennel I noticed that her tail was completely severed at the base and just hanging limpley.On bringing this apparently minor detail to his attention I was told that it was nothi

    The fully breed wheatons was one off the dogs all doggy had for big game and drawing out yea dont have the jaw power off bull but better coats good feet faster and l would say more wind but the bull cross has alot as well Totally agree iceman thats why doing the mating is a good idea as you can incorporate the best of both breeds.Making a very useful hound.

    I think that you should do the mating.What suits one man may not suit another,everyone looks for something different in a dog.I think that the Wheaten will add a bit of steadiness to the pups,and a bit of hair on the face is a good thing in this day and age.I like the cross and find the Wheatens seem to act different a bit more thinking but with the gameness and drive that you need to do the job in hand.

    Back in the 's when we were selling fox pelts a mate of mine used to feed his dogs on the carcasses. His would fight savagely for the meat but noone elses dogs would touch it.

    TRAPPING AND RELLEASING MINK is illegal by the way... some lads our always asking me for a trapped mink to show there pups .."ask our mutual friend " I know it is Glenn and so it should be, I believe that they should enter naturally.I don't think that the practice teachs pups anything a bit like end hole work.They learn far more if they enter naturally and work their quarry in its natural environment.

  10. Moorman 1
    Thanks again Shay cheers for your help.
  11. Moorman 1
    Thanks for that Shay very handy site.Do you know why they are now Webley Accupell instead of Crosman?And are they the same as The Crosman Accupell?
  12. Moorman 1
    Hi does anyone know if you can still buy the Crossman Accupells?They don't seem to be available now where I get my pellets from.They used to be a very popular ammo but I don't seem to be able to source them anymore,can anyone shed some light?? Thanks

    Sorry to have missed this one but not ignored, wondered what bill was on about my sincere apologies, mark. Vandal, was he a Plummer with 28% vampire blood a halfbred jrt.? Plummer.. he and others then for PR purposes was named plummer terriers as were so many but they were not true breeding enough to be called a breed...others bred more true as well...but then when you consider vandals pedigree, how could they have been when the fathers sire was crossbred and the rest of the pedigree mongrelized. Offspirng from vandal sometimes resembled other breeds a sign of homozygosity . AS DID MANY

    Glenn if you read back through you will see that I have asked two questions and both seem to have been ignored...? One was are you saying that Vandal wasn't a Plummer? And the other was how many foxes have YOU taken in the last season with YOUR terriers? Thanks
  17. Moorman 1
    Glad to see there are a few still being worked.Lets hope they make a good standard as we all know everyone has different perceptions of work.There are those that dig maybe one or two a season and those that work maybe a hundred or more.A vast difference as many dogs look good for a few occassional digs but throw the towel in when the workload gets a tad heavier. Good luck with them lads.Just out of interest how many have you had with your terriers this past season Glenn?
  18. Moorman 1
    What a load of childish nonsense,to each their own I suppose.Glenn are there many owners that are regularly using their Plummers for fox control (earthwork) these days. I do know of several that are gone now that were decendants of Bills stock that were as good as any earthdog. Are you saying that Vandal wasn't a Plummer?I'm not sure that I understand what you meant in one of your recent posts.

    Ok Si thanks again mate,cheers
  20. Moorman 1
    Nice one thanks for that Si,was just asking as my local gundealer doesn't stock much variety.They have Air Arms Field,RWS,Bisleys and one or two others,not much choice.

    Hi Moorman. Using JSB Diablo Exacts 15.9gr .22 in mine at the moment. They are giving me an Avg Muz Vol of 571.40 fps producing 11.53 ftlbs. Group very well,qaulity pellet, worth the money. Also tried Accupell 14.4gr gave an Avg Muz Vol of 602.4 fps producing 11.61 ftlbs. Nice pellet, but I found them too hard, not as malable as the JSB's. What are you using at the moment in your's? ATB. Bill. Cheers lads not had mine long,so been using up a tin of Crossman Accupells seem very good but my local gundealer doesn't stock them anymore. Can't unde

    Hi all was just interested to hear what pellets your HW100 in .22 was performing at its best with....? Cheers
  23. Moorman 1
    Lol I know you did Goldfinch so you and I both know how good it was.It's just a shame that it has been diluted and lost

    Dear oh dear is it any wonder why people ridicule Plummers and their owners.All this talk of pedigrees and very little mention of what they do in the ground. There are no doubt still some decent working ones around but I think more that don't than do.Bill (Stormyboy)had some exceptional stuff in his kennel and I mean dogs that would hold their own in the ground against any other terrier. Tiny weldone at last someone striving to produce better dogs in the ground.Weldone that man,its a pity that more Plummer breeders don't pay more attention to someone who is breeding to better their dogs for

    Hi have you tryed one as mine was crap yes you can pump up the power within reason but couldnt get on with it , it shot fine 1/2 incn at 30 yards ,could be me , so try before you buy,good luck. Have used Weirauch gasram and thought it pretty good but too heavy.Although they use Theoben gasram HE it isn't the same gun.A lot heavier and not so nice to handle.1/2 incn at 30 yards can'y be that bad.Some guns you get on with and some you don't. Thanks anyway lads looks like I'm sorted now. Cheers for your help.
