    I asked to have my post removed ,because I misunderstood the topic,but was told I couldn't.Anyhow,I don't know what Yokels signature,other than I like it. I do think I may have heard Paul Harvey say it in an old radio broadcast.uru

    Keith Thank you,and excellent point,if it works to your/the owner satisfaction,that's all that matters.That sounds good to me,uru

    (Yokel,I like your signature,very true) (This is only my opinion and I know there are PLENTY far more knowing than myself) I have been told by many Good terriermen,some would call a couple of them,"old timers" I guess,that the Fell Terrier is fully capable of standing on its own,without need of bull blood.In all areas,tenacity,grit,gameness,whatever term you use,desire to stay the course til the job is over.And that there is no benefit whatsoever. But I think while that may be the case with some,maybe many, I think depending on what you want to accomplish,like a bit bigger,stronge

    I've searched the topic and glanced through but not seen the question I have with a direct answer,as much as an assumed one. From someone who keeps and works them not just a rehash of what is wrote. I know they are supposed to be good ratters,bushing dogs,but what else. I don't even know anyone in the states with them and chances are,if they are here,they are showdogs. I think they are a sharp looking dog,but just curious. (I know most Plummer topics fail,but it doesn't have to ) I wonder the same of some other breeds,but will save them for when I run out of topics.uru.

    AlcaponeI agree with you.I made that comment a few yrs back about blood complimenting each other ,and caught a lot of flack for it.But I know that it does,and proper breeding goes a long way.uru
  22. uru
    Alcapone,great points.I think good families of dogs produce more consistent than one offs.Meaning,no matter how powerful looking,hard working the stud may be,he isn't necessarily a better producer than a less impressive looking stud,who is out of a good family.You always hear worker to worker,which I understand,but at the same time,breeding /bloodlines/pedigree are important,IF they are correct.I've heard many dogmen ,some famous,state"the dog can't read his papers",but some blood compliments each other.Often when it is similar. I know some won't agree,and that's ok,it's not worth arguing abo

    Everyone is different in what they look for and desire in a working dog.I know in general,a consistent dog,with a good nose,grit,intelligent and the desire/tenacity to stay til dug to,or to the end etc. The dog should be a good healthy specimen,out of working dogs. But from there it varies.Big dog small dog.As others have quoted Cyril Breay,"never breed to a dog that can't kill a fox". But others consider the fox,an inferior test of a good terrier. Many here,far more than the U.K.,desire extremely small dogs.But if the dog is so small,he comfortably fits down every hole,there's a very g

    PabloThank you,but I didn't do anything other than ask the question,the guys you named,along with Liam and a lot of others,are the ones making this as interesting as it is. We're getting firsthand views and knowledge on these bull breedings/crosses,from all over and different times,other than just chatting with folks in our personal areas,or reading in a book from one man's opinions.or at least that's my thinking,uru

    Honestly mate, this subject has been done to death! There will be several long and debated Threads on this Site about the merits and negatives. Shamo No disrespect,but I was asking a question out of simple curiosity,nothing more,and the fact that we're 8 pages into it,let's me know that apparently,there are others who are too,otherwise it would have been stopped on page 1. Myself,I've enjoyed every post on this topic,and seen and read some real good opinions,without anybody souring it with trash talkers. If it's been done to death,sorry,but I enjoyed it all,uru
