Wheeler type picture from past and present
dillydog replied to shaneg's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
The problem is people still want to believe he's a good bloke, anyone who knows anyone (I hate that saying but it's still relevant ) knows he's a dog thief. FFS there was a whole discussion caught on screen shot where he was arranging for the theft of someone's terriers. I can't remember the full facts but he also had something to do with a bitch getting lifted in Staffordshire which was later returned. Not someone I'd put forward to judge a show or represent a club or show -

Maybe the people who had their terrier stolen aren't the fighting type ? It doesn't take away from the fact he tried to steal terriers or at the very least arrange for their theft. The man's pure dog shit, paint it anyway you want but he's a wrong Un.- 102 replies

There's no such thing as DF stuff, he's got NS stuff what he's added to, we're all polishing the same turds.

The countymans weekly was the shooting news back in the day pabs, I'm beginning to think you're Sean Frain himself, I have to read both of your work a dozen times and still walk away none the wiser.

Brilliant Barrie, that's the bitch at the bottom that Phil was always trying to twist your arm over taking a litter from ?

Always liked him mate, he's not a classic nuttall stamp IMO, do you know what else is in his background ?

And then ask the question "did it help in any way" ? -
Who knows what happened there ? What I was trying to say is I totally agree with you, if you don't breed enough you'll box yourself in and you'll soon run out of options.

The reason for lines and names is because they keep producing generation after generation. They don't give themselves a "name", it's earned through word of mouth. Your mates dog by the sound of it is a great terrier, but is he a one off in the lottery of genetics ? I'd sooner follow a line of known producers than a legend amongst shit.

Same blood, the genetic makeup is a lottery, hence the bad in litters and the success in one litter over the same way bred litter a second time around. That's why no one's got the answer to a perfect line, it doesn't exist, only in books and THL ?

That wasn't the question Liam, and the way I'd see it I'd have a good honest look at why it failed, the state of the family and if it was going stagnant I'd have no hesitation in moving along and changing what I keep...... life's to short.
-
I've never bred off a jacker but if the rest of the extended family were all solid workers and for whatever reason you lost access to them I'd still take that risk. The same blood runs through the jackers veins as the good one's, perhaps it was poor entering or socialisation that ruined it's chances of becoming all it could be ? I'm just playing devil's advocate mate, I'm old enough and wise enough to have seen plenty of examples of poor entering, and plenty of animals come good given a chance.
-
I haven't a clue mate, I never intensionaly bred either of the litters by Sid, he stole the bitch when she was 8 years old. I phoned my vet to stop the litter and he advised me not to do it if I still wanted to take a litter from her. The second litter I was in traction in hospital when it happened. If I was honest I hadn't got any confidence in the second litter, I just went through the motions and got pleasantly surprised lol. I was talking about the same thing today with a terrier man I respect and neither of us could come up with an answer. Like I said, I try in my head to breed to

What if it's brother or sister isn't available ? What if you know the dog was pushed to much, worked to hard or kept worse than a f***ing ferret ? There's so many variables you could write a book on it, you just remember your own saying "the same yards keep producing"
-
That's a simplistic way of looking at it FD, I know where you're coming from but I don't agree. There's hundreds of terriers that get moved on or pts year on year through bad entering, bad socialisation and so on. If you went with THL massive "cull hard" , PTS, never breed from this and that and so on you'd think the country would be full of top notch terriers............sadly we know it' not. As I've said 2 + 2 doesn't equal 4 in breeding, I'm not kennel blind and I'm not stupid either. The best examples I can give from my one lifetimes experience are these breedings. ......Bust

That's a massive part of the working terriers downfall Jigsaw, "human error". There's no such thing as a dog that won't quit, just varying degrees of drive and willpower to see the job through. Tyson Fury is a hero to some, but look at the cock they matched him up with, the whole fight was a shambles but they "managed" him to get his confidence up.
