  1. Very similar to the types I saw decades ago glad it made the grade for you
  2. Not doubting for a moment some are dug or that some are healthy but as a type no doubt heading for KC reg with all its clubs and registration the vast majority are bred down from stock riddled with quite major physical faults although working them and then culling will sort out some of the wheat from the chaff? WHWT stuff are the ones I've always thought of as a tidy type and as for westie being dug I also took one digging for a friend 20 years ago it was ok but I've also dug to cocker and Springer spaniel foxhounds of all types , collies and lurchers my observation and point of view are n
  3. I hope he makes the grade for you, the stuff you are breeding now look a more even bunch compared to the blood you started with
  4. Only one thing defines a terrier for me and that's working under the sod until dug then it is my preference on colour and type, I've got to be honest as far as Plummer go they are a nice type to look at , the crosses I saw were not working terriers as defined, without all his books they'd of died out or just become a Russell type , but look at likes of his book omega stating they were already badly inbred then and were full of physical faults, something even as a young man I found odd who the hell breeds unfit stock!! Another reason to stop reading his dribble, the faults still with the typ
  5. During the mid 80's to early 90's there were loads of Nuttall x plummer doing the rounds alot just looked like black , red or black & tan smooth patts with lots of white on the chest and legs not sure how much influence they had on patts or plummer breeding but its was quite a fad for a while
  6. yes it does seem that way at least some are getting worked , I sold 3 pups to R.Schwab back in 2000 and they've had a huge impact, but so has R.Cloots Nuttall bred terriers
  7. always a great shame when the workers pass on , greatly enjoy your post so please keep posting
  8. may I ask why the change over to the patterdales ?
  9. cheers i suppose they do , but I still get tiny nuttall types in litters
  10. thank you ? he's a pretty boy a out and out bayer until your just about to uncover him then he head holds
  11. cheers he's going well like a clock until just before daylight then he holds
  12. couple of handy digs to the young dog yesterday
  13. I don't encourage any of my terriers to go for rats after having to move tons of bales for a terrier digging for rat , as far as the video I wouldn't at that age even a nip that young and the dog could go backwards for ever...I'm usually stock breaking at that age and know how a little fear at that age stops them worrying stock for life
  14. there were Bulldog and there were terriers and then there were bull and terriers then bull terriers from many different areas and then some hundred years later there were apbt, I think you may find working terriers and gameness predates the pit dog
  15. without a doubt I should think all working terriers carry a drop even if it's a long way back , I like the look but I'm not a fan of dogs that want to fight be it above or below I love a voice on a terrier but also knowing if that's not enough while working when push comes to shove they can for that moment push back , and as things settle go back to using there voice and it's that sense a lot of bull breed dogs lack once they go up in the gears they cant go back down resulting in a wreak
  16. I spoke to Brian many times on the subject and no secret to the fact he did in the 50/60 his dog carried a lot of British pit blood x fells from his grandfathers stock these mated on to his border bitch and then line bred, he also used a half cross in the late 70's but wasnt happy with the pups so never carried it on but others did , and then a couple of litters late 90s early 00's to a apbt again not folded back in by himself but used by others
  17. nothing to do with me ? it' is without doubt one of pickaxe's ?
  18. his Full sister a excellent worker as good as you could ask for but couldnt produce anything of worth , her last pup in the photo has just been past on to hunt she is happy there
