  2. Advantages Of The Plummer Terrier

    in Earthdogs & Working Terriers

    Posted

    I haven't worked a big number of terriers, in fact I've always jrt's. I confess I'm no expert on terriers and certainly don't use them to their full potential, but I do require my terriers to be good at working and finding game, mainly rabbits in cover. It is obviously a bonus for my terriers not to go ground.

     

    Always fancied the looks of a plummer, but don't know a great deal about them other than they are supposed be mainly intended for rabbit and rat foremost. So just wondering being used to jrt's what are the advantages and disadvantages of the plummer terrier over other terriers. Any comments off people who have worked them or seen them work would be great.

  11. Border Collie X Greyhound

    I always thought a collie/grey would be a great for some ones first lurcher, i know aIot of people disagree, but I think it's more down to the type of person who's bringing it on than the dog itself. Easiest dogs I've brought on have been collie x. As long as you give them exercise the rest is plain sailing.

    My bitch is about 24 inch, but nearly 11 now. Quite racey for a first cross, and she could shift when she was younger, very quick off the mark. She's a very fiery bitch with other dogs, not nasty just try's to put them in their place. Great type of robust dog. I think she would have been even better if I could have put more game in front of her, but she had a temperament that would get bored if not much was happening. Seems to be a trait that's found in some collies, where as some don't get so bored and will hunt for scent all day long. Personally I love collies and used to work pure ones to rabbits, never caught a great deal, but again this was largely to do with where I worked them, great sport though.

     

    Also worked a border collie lurcher that had a tad of beardie in the mix......he was the best hunt up dog I have worked...his desire to hunt was amazing, also had great strike, very rarely got injured...great skin...he once got caught in a loose ball of bar wire, and came off very well considering. He would also hunt further a field than the pure border collie cross and would go right into the hedge after a rabbit, where as my border collie / greyhound would hold off the hedge.

  15. Single Handed Whippets?

    in Lurchers & Running Dogs

    Posted

    I had a cracking whippet years ago, game as they come, hunted none stop, would struggle when he came upon a preban hare, unless up and at it straight away. Anything other than rabbits, there are other dogs that are more capable than a whippet, but mine always put 100% no matter what.....and gave me loads of great memories.

    Any will do the job, but I prefer bitches.....and I don't know why. I had 4 bitches until recently...... 2 jack Russell's and 2 lurchers, one of the terriers recently passed, but I have never had any problems at home or in the field. Also owned 3 males and one bitch together with no problems. I would go with a bitch.

    WOULD also say rufus was bred ,and bred very well . atb bunnys,

     

    :yes:@ Bunnys...

    Don't quote me on this, as I may have got my facts slightly wrong, but I think that the line that Rufus was from was related to the line that the collie which Dave Sleight used for his early kelpie/collie crosses i.e. Gem and Purdey was from. If my facts are right then I believe they're related to the chocolate and white collie called Moss which Daergi wrote an article about in the Shooting News.

    Going back about 20 years I had a job interview in sheffield with a lady who owned several pet border collies, used to do agility with them, sleight used to use her collies to stud his bitches.

    there are still plenty of nice sized bitches and dogs out there. i have seen some real beuteys in the last couple of years.heres a few pics of mine.[img=IMG_1791-1.jpg

    Great pics. Are the cockers yours too, just I'm wondering how you would compare them to the plummer terriers as a mooching/bushing dogs for rabbits and finding scents when there's not much about.

     

    Cheers
