    MANY APOLOGIES, I SPELT PLUMMER INCORRECTLY.THE AUTHOR WASN'T EVERYONES CUP OF TEA BUT WITHOUT A DOUBT COULD HE PUT IT DOWN ON PAPER. I THINK HE POSSESSED A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY. HOWEVER, HE DID PICK ALOT OF THE TRUE DOGMANS BRAINS WHO HAD THE KNOWLEDGE AND PLUMMER PUT IT DOWN ON PAPER. AT THE END OF THE DAY HE REALLY WASN'T A GOOD DOGMAN, BUT AN EXCELLENT WRITER. SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT TO TODAYS SO- CALLED AUTHORS. LIKE I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, 'PUGS AND DRUMMERS' IS AN EXCELLENT BOOK. THERE IS SO MUCH INFORMATION ON THE FERRET AND ITS QUARRY THE RABBIT. I AM PRETTY SURE YOU WILL LIKE THE BOOK AND

    JUST REPLYING ABOUT THE FELL BOOTS. ARE THEY A GOOD BOOT? WITHOUT A DOUBT THEY ARE. PROPERLY TAKEN CARE OF AND DRIED OUT NATURALLY THEY WILL LAST FOR YEARS. HOWEVER, TO GO AND ABUSE THEM THEY WILL GO DOWN HILL JUST LIKE ANY OTHER ITEM.AFTER BEING ON THE HILL , WALKING OR DIGGING OUT ONE OF YOUR TERRIERS. FULL OF SOIL AND WET. THEY NEED CLEANING AND DRYING OUT NATURALLY AND THEN THEY ARE READY FOR THE NEXT DAY.THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF DIFFERENT SOLE, THE COMMANDO AND THE FULL -STUDDED SOLE.I FOUND THE STUDDED SOLES SOMETHING OF A HAZARD WHEN TRYING TO NEGOTIATE SLIPPERY OBSTACLES AND ICEY ROCKS ETC

    Just replying to the Terrierman from Ireland in which he or his friend had a dog stolen. I feel so sorry for the people who keep these Terriers then find them stolen from their premises. The persons who commit such acts of crime are total scum of the Earth and it has got to be eradicated immediately. 'Don't forget the situation is very different when it comes to Livestock.Livestock, be it Dogs, birds and Ferrets etc. People put so much time into their Dogs and various other livestock and when things like this happen it must leave such a shock to the poor people to whom have had it done to them

    Of course it is better to put things into practise and learn that way. However, the 2 best books which were wrote some years ago was a Book called Modern Ferreting by Plumber,I know alot of people thought of him has a utter buffoon, know all and liar, but at the end of the day he was highly educated and he was a very good writer indeed. Another great Book and perhaps the best of all was a book titled ' Pugs and Drummers', a superb read but quite rare nowadays.Please forget all these modern day publications they are not too good at all.

    I THINK IT IS DOWN TO HOW MUCH USE ONE HAS FOR THE AMOUNT THEY KEEP. AT THE MOMENT I HAVE I OLDISH POLECAT HOB AND 6 POLCAT JILLS. THEY ARE ALL RELATED AND EXTREMELY TAME. THEY HAVE ALL BEEN BRED BY MYSELF WHICH IS A GOOD THING I THINK... IN THE LATE 7O'S AND EARLY 8O,S I DID BREED AROUND 60 I YEAR BUT TO BE HONEST THAT WAS MAINLY JILLS THAT I USED FOR 'RATTING' WHICH ONE CAN GET THROUGH QUITE EASILY WHEN WORKING THE JILLS ON RATS DUE TO GETTING BITTEN AND KNOCKED ABOUT.HOWEVER, AFTER THE JILLS BECAME MORE AQUAINTED WITH SUCH ADVERSARY THEY SOON DECIDED ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH! SO RATS CONTRIBUTED

    BERT GRIPTON DID USE THE LOCATOR WHEN THEY CAME OUT AND HE EXPLAINED TO US HOW GOOD THEY WHERE. NO ONE CAN ARGUE WITH THAT, THE LOCATORS ARE A GREAT INVENTION;THEY SAVE TIME, THEY SAVE ALOT OF DIGGING AND TRENCHING SOMETIMES 'BUT ABOVE ALL ELSE THEY HAVE SAVE MANY GOOD TERRIERS. ABOUT 14 YEARS AGO NOW ONE OF MY RUSSELL BITCHES ENTERED A MASSIVE PLACE AND SHE WASN'T WEARING A LOCATOR COLLAR AS SHE WAS JUST OUT EXERCISING, (WHICH IS ALWAYS THE CASE) AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY TOOLS. A LOCATOR WOULD HAVE BEEN OF NO USE WHATSOEVER IN THIS PARTICULAR PLACE.I HAD BOLTED MANY FOXES FROM THIS PLACE AND IT

    WOULD ANY TERRIERMEN WANT THIS TYPE OF DOG? AND I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW FOR WHAT USE. DOCTOR DOLITTLE.
  11. doctor dolittle
    IT IS A NICE LITTLE RUSSELL TYPE TERRIER AND I HOPE THE DOG TURNS OUT FINE FOR THE OWNER. LIKE I HAVE SAID BEFORE IF THE DOG DOES WHAT THE OWNER WANTS AND THEY ARE SATISFIED THEN IT IS A GOOD DOG TO THEM; PERHAPS NOT TO OTHER TERRIERMEN WHO WANT THEIR DOGS SOLEY FOR WORKING UNDERGROUND. ALSO RESPONDING TO THE LADIES DEFENCE, 'CLARE', WHO MENTIONED ABOUT HER RUSSELLS AND WORKING THEM ON RAT AND RABBIT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT? IT IS HER CHOICE AT THE END OF THE DAY AND SHE DID GET SOME UNFORTUNATE FLAK ! 'PLEASE GIVE HER A CHANCE READERS'! WE ALL KNOW IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND GENUINE PEOPLE IN

    JUST READING ABOUT A CERTAIN TOPIC REGARDING BAYING DOGS AND THE HARDER TYPE TERRIER.I READ MANY OPINIONS AND POSTS BY MANY TERRIERMEN AND THEIR VIEWS ON BAYING DOGS AND HARDER TERRIERS.EVERY GOOD TERRIERMAN KNOWS THAT SOMETIMES AN HARD TYPE TERRIER CERTAINLY IS NEEDED ON CERTAIN OCCASIONS E.G. ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE'S QUARRY CAN BE SITUATED IN A INACCESSIBLE, SOMEWHAT VANTAGE POINT.HOWEVER FOR CONSISTENT WORK A GOOD BAYING DOG CANNOT BE TOUCHED. A REALLY HARD DOG IS AT MOST TIMES OUT OF ACTION FROM HIS WOUNDS AND DAMAGE INFLICTED OR A REALLY HARD DOG CAN BE A DEAD DOG.YEARS AGO I HAVE EXPERI

    I HAVE KNOWN KEN GOULD FOR YEARS AND FOR SURE THERE IS NEVER A DULL MOMENT WHEN HE IS IN COMPANY OF OTHER DOGMEN ESPECIALLY. HE CAN TELL A WONDERFUL TALE ABOUT HIS DOGS. SOME PEOPLE SAY IS A DOG DEALER, ARROGANT AND A SHOW OFF. PERHAPS HE IS IN THE NICEST POSSIBLE WAY. BUT HE HAS DONE SOME GREAT THINGS FOR THE SPORT......LOOK AT HIS TERRIER SHOW HE USE TO HAVE AT HIS HOUSE, A PROPER SHOW FOR REAL DIGGING MEN. AND IT WAS THE BEST SHOW AROUND, THAT IS FOR SURE! I AM TRULY GREATFUL FOR THE TIME WE SHARED TOGETHER. LET'S HEAR MORE ABOUT THE OLD BOYS IF POSSIBLE.

    DEAR ALI , WERE WAS HE FROM? I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE SAME PERSON I KNEW OF MANY YEARS AGO NOW. BUT I DON'T THINK HE WOULD BE 70 YEARS IN AGE. THE OLDER GUY'S ARE GREAT COMPANY AND I WAS LUCKY TO BE CENTRED AROUND THE OLDER GUYS WHEN I WAS A YOUNGSTER. BUT DON'T FORGET THEIR ARE SOME YOUNG LADS WHO HAVE THE DEDICATION, COMMITMENT AND THE KNOWLEDGE ALSO. HOWEVER, THE OLDER GENERATION SAW THINGS IN A DIFFERENT WAY AND DIDN'T EXPERIENCE THE DREADFUL LAWS WE HAVE TO ABIDE BY NOWADAYS. I WILL ATTEMPT TO POST SOME PHOTOS IN THE NEAR FUTURE REGARDING SOME OF THE OLD BOYS AND THEIR TERRIERS. I HAVE

    EXCUSE ME, HOW IS YOUR TERRIER AT THE MOMENT? YOU EXPLAINED SHE WAS SOMEWHAT LOOKING BETTER AND HER TAIL WAGGING. PLEASE KEEP ALL THE LADS INFORMED PLEASE AS THEY DO GENUINELY CARE REGARDING HOW YOUR LITTLE TERRIER GET'S ON. AND FOR MYSELF PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. GOOD LUCK! DOCTOR DOLITTLE.

    Sorry Ideation, Just replying back to the particular subject on the subject of 'Ferreting'. What's the best Ferreting dog? My mistake, as I did mean what is the best Ferreting dog not just marking dog. Ideation, you are totally correct in what you say, there are so many other qualities needed in a good Ferreting dog.What some people call good wouldn't perhaps mean the same to you and myself..... I have seen Lurchers that would mark holes all day long but if a Rabbit bolted into a purse net the dog or certain dogs would rag Rabbits in nets, which I don't think is a good situation, especially wh

    HELLO, JUST REPLYING TO STORM DE BULLS ENQUIRIES REGARDING PURSE NETS. IF YOU WANT YOU CAN CONTACT ME GIVING ME YOUR REQUIREMENTS OF WHAT YOU ARE AFTER PLEASE. HOWEVER, SOMETIMES, IT CAN TAKE A LITTLE TIME CONCERNING OTHER COMMITMENTS. HOWEVER, I WILL CONTACT MY BROTHER TO SEE WHAT HE HAS AVAILABLE IF YOU ARE EVER INTERESTED. SATISFIED CUSTOMER'S ARE MY BEST ADVERT. GOOD LUCK! DOCTOR DOLITTLE....... P.S. HAS ANY G

    DEAR READERS, REGARDING THE QUESTION ASKED ABOUT THE BEST MARKING DOGS USED WHEN FERRETING.I HAVE SEEN LOADS OVER THE YEARS. LURCHERS, TERRIERS, COLLIE X WHIPPETS, SPANIELS AND EVEN MONGREL TYPES! THE BEST I HAVE COME ACROSS AND OWNED MYSELF HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TERRIERS. THE BEST WITHOUT A DOUBT WAS A LITTLE SMOOTH -COATED RUSSEL BITCH WHICH I BRED IN 1976. A FANTASTIC DOG FOR FIND, WORKING COVER AND MARKING HOLES. HOWEVER, FINDING AND MARKING RATS,HER SPECIALTY. SHE WAS WORKED ALOT UNDER GROUND AFTER FOXES AND SO MANY OCCASIONS PROVED HER WORTH. APOLOGIES FOR DIGRESSING! IN MY OPINION I DON'T TH

    JUST REPLYING TO LONER'S PHOTOGRAPH OF HIS RUSSELL-TYPE PUP. THE DOG IS A NICE TYPE AND IF LONER WANTS THE DOG FOR RABBITS I TOTALLY AGREE WITH HIM ON THE SUBJECT. IF SOMEONE HAS A DOG FOR WORKING RABBITS, RAT'S OR FOXES AND THE OWNER IS SATISFIED WITH THE DOG THEN OF COURSE IT IS A GOOD DOG IN THE OWNER'S OPINION.I DON'T FOR ONE MOMENT THINK THE DOG IS WASTED JUST BY HIM WORKING RABBITS AND EVENTUALLY IN MY MINE AND MANY OTHER READER'S OPINIONS THE TERRIER MAY WELL COME UPON A FOX WHILE OUT WORKING RABBITS ANYWAY....... SOME TERRIER MEN JUST ALLOW THEIR DOGS TO ENTER FOX EARTHS AND WORK FOX

    I read with great interest regarding the topic concerning a certain book that Bert Gripton supposed to have to wrote. Well if he did I would certainly have liked to have read a copy! The simple truth being is that Bert never wrote any such Book. I myself does have a large and particular interesting collection of sporting books including Big Gamehunting,Fox-hunting titles, many books on working Terriers and dog books also. But unfortunately I haven't any material by Bert Gripton....However, Bert did write certain snippets and replied to many other peoples articles and scribblings on the subject
