  1. If he’d had been ready I’d have tried him but he just wasnt hes changed over the last few months so I’ll be giving him a whirl. I was using the same dog all the time and now she’s gone he’s all that’s left so He!ll have to do ? ATB ..... T
  2. You’re right mate what CC. Was on about was my bitch started early just on Charlie and died before she was four year old. too reckless , too hard for her build... 12 inch fox bitch the dog in question has been pegged out on digs from 6 month... it’s me that’s held him back. scared of failure .... perhaps but he’s shaping up so we’ll see ATB ... T
  3. Just got in from work .... dogs make sure we’re going for a bounce
  4. Hope you’re right fm. this young black dog is a bit on the slow side 19 month old ?. looks the part mind ? ATB.... T
  5. Not a lot happening for me work wise just a pic of the pup
  6. Same thing next you’ll be saying a patterdale isn’t a fell? ..... or is it a Lakeland ?? joking no response required ? DD they look mint , right size ... for me anyway again ..... I have seen 15 inch + do the job as good as any small terriers just suit me personally . ATB ... Tony
  7. Nowt wrong with having a happy kennel. I walk six at once , with no bother. they’ve nailed the odd cat but don’t fight. I like them round me as much as possible ATB ... T
  8. Top man for trying keep looking ... someone’s picked it up I reckon . Atb ... Tony

  10. Good luck with it mate im sure she’ll not disappoint ??
  11. Yes mate ... kept a small tan bitch so we’ll see. glad you got sorted let me guess..... Russell ?
  12. Shite mate i haven’t forgotten you’ll get offered a pup mate
  13. Lost my bitch today. Worked a fox for an hour at 3.5m. no drama , ready to dig to a steady mark. help at hand if I needed it..... cheers rat face. she wobbled out and fox wobbled out behind her. was in vets within the hour but ..... well job was over good little fox bitch in any company. Worst season I’ve ever had , now this ?!
  14. Aye , Sid you’re right mate. no easy answer I expect. ATB .... Tony
  15. So the breed would have to start again. then put the resulting dogs over the existing bitches. I know nothing about genetics Sid ?. ATB... T
  16. Would a direct outcross not invigorate the pool. What I mean is put in qualities you want directly, a staff , beagle , Russell , glen , Sealyham is a complex mix at best. ATB ... T
  17. I don’t know a lot about the breed , I’ve seen YouTube clips ratting. They are obviously all over rats . hundreds in a day... quick little dogs and don’t stay with dead ones,... and don’t scrap over em . I can’t understand the lack of outcross to expand , enhance , or whatever the polite word is . surely a good , small , tight Russel is perfect . talk of bedlington , Lucas ffs , I don’t get. if a Plummer is a Russell , beagle , Staffordshire surely a good Russell would increase the gene pool. They are very ‘ Russell type ‘. The size of the plummer seems
  18. Purpose bred mongrels though mate. the best sort ? very nice pups ATB ... T
  19. Nice little thing that mate I remember the original post. Atb ... T
  20. There may well be truth in that mate. His books were based on other lads days out not his own. working dogs and money are poles apart for me. ATB ... T
