  4. Lakeland terrier pups?

    in Earthdogs & Working Terriers

    Posted · Edited by Glyn.....

    how I look at it those paying determines the price if you have bred a litter to sell it's a no brainer if suddenly the price goes up from 300 to 1500 a pup , let's face it  few of these terriers  have worked and even if they do 99% of the pups wont be all into pet homes

    I remember selling 3 pup for £30 each to two brother,  next  time I saw those pup was 3 weeks later in Weston Park for a £100 each and they sold them I felt a right mug 

    so if I was selling I'd be selling for the top price 

    anyone looking for worker should just ask there mates

    Not to be too harsh on hunt terriermen but if it goes to ground almost anything will do the job on the day and most pros carry a selection for different jobs .Bolters were often other peoples failed digging dogs ,I know I gifted stuff to the hunt that didn’t really have what it takes to do the job regular .50% does seem a bit low Glyn but I’m guessing your being modest on that .Seems to be more and more getting out the game as time goes  by these days ,even youngsters .

    yes think we've seen some right shit work with hunts , all I can say on % is I once bred a litter of 6 and all 6 were as good as you could wish for unfortunately I had bred the litter and gave them away , but all ended up with good lads and I saw  all of them work  and have there blood in mine now , and because it was so goodi repeated the mating 6 pups again 2 good workers 2 yo-yo and 2 rubbish I kept two a yo-yo handy for the hunt , and one good  one did a lot of earth stopping with , 3rd litter 5 pups 4 good 1 only wanted to fight other dogs the more I know the less I know lol

    But do you prefer a sensible yapper for the hunt work but moving round the earth for ages waiting to bottle up. Or a sensible harder dog when you know when it’s up to quarry your only digging the one hole?

    she been described here , but the bitch Tilly was something  she would not kill a rat til she was 5, I dug from 9month   work she'd bay them up and hold not  mark on her after 2 seasons she got brave and had them by the head as day light hit , she'd suffer a kiss or two ...Chaz had them by the head from word go if it got proper tough and long the boy would sing both a joy to dig ....as have been those who come after them

    If they are anything like that lovely little idiot I had they may decide to test themselves ?

    Was out on a walk once, January and the little b*****d took off despite me shouting in him.....he then proceeded to swim a small stream and up a big banking then off into some woods.

    I had f**k all with me as I was just out for a walk so I eventually found a hole about 150m away and sure enough could hear the little b*****d going at it.....I had to wade the stream and there’s snow on the ground and I’m piss wet through.

    So I headed home (about 3 mile) for a spade.

    Got back and was having to guess the digging by ear, turns out it was a big S shape spot and every time I busted through the dog had pushed the Fox round another bend and I had to start again, 3 hours and 3 holes later the dog finally had a big dog fox pushed back into an end.

    Lifted the little b*****d and let the fox run, that dog got called all the c#nts under the sun that day.....pitch black when we headed home and the little f****r was bouncing around like nothing had happened ! Lol 

    he sounds the same pain his father was as a young dog before I kept on couple or was down a hole  , was he digging on to take 3 hours to get to his fox ?

    ps I still work them but the graft isn't about like it was 30year ago

    Wish I had graft for a young tyke like that, but be wasted doing what we do. You know how to breed a terrier mate, no denying that ?

    Cheers I'm happy with him ... I'll be honest with you he'll never be fully tested in the same way as other terriers mentioned were but they've only ever had to put a smile on my face :)

    In another note, Chaz was a horrible grumpy old b*****d ! Lol

    Aside from that, another great dog that I believe Glyn bred himself (but I could be wrong) was a little undershot bitch called Tilly......fantastic little bitch.

    I was told she had over 400 digs under her belt and I can well believe it, she rattled round and bottled stuff up like a train.

    I only went out with her a few times but had a result every time and the lad who was keeping her thought a lot of her.

    Really, really nice little dog.

    I never bred Tilly, my cousin did she was out of a bitch I bred and her sire was also out of a bitch I bred ,
