Good to hear mate...

Patterdale breeding info required, pls?!!
omegathelast replied to unclebuck's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
I understand what a lot are saying about unecessary breeding but I think this guy has asked a very responsible question. He clearly isnt breeding for the wrong reasons, in fact the right ones. I disagree he should just buy a pet, why? The character of proper working terriers is one of the reasons we all love them so much and this dog is 9 and he hasnt bred it yet, and I say perpetuating good lines is the right thing to do as working blood is getting thin enough. I have seen dogs bred from worker x worker matings that havent quite made the grade including the sibling of an my old Russel bitch; -
Sam, I think you are spot on. It is the actions of a few that have wrecked this sport.

Hi mate, youve done an honourable thing. Do you know what he is like with other dogs? do you have him outside or is he ok inside?

thatd be perfect............

.......guys guys, what is wrong with you all?? terrier sport has enough enemies without constant internal bickering!! I like both dogs and Im sure Gravel's dog will work..its certainly looks smart. Lumps dog is a proper russell obviously doing the business which is fantastic to see as a Russell fan. I actually knew Brain Plummer so know those dogs were bred 100% for work and the older lines and outcrossed parallel lines dug and ratted so if the modern ones have half their ability you will have a mega dog Gravel. Just on the raggin rats thing it is true almost any half decent terrier at 5-6mont

Thanks mate, they did say 'it will settle down after 200 pellets or so put through it' and yes I see your point on the mechanical noise next to cheek/ear. Really looking forward to getting it out in field. -
Hi Chaps. Ive just treated myself to a Weirhach HW97KT with sythetic stock. It is also fitted with a Hawke Panorama 4.9 x 50 scope with the red or blue illuminated crosshair thingy? After many years break I am ressurecting my once very active fieldsports activities and this is first step. The gun looks brilliant and the gun shop assured me it will knock the socks off what i used to have and be perfect for hunting. I used to shoot lots of Rabbits at night on land we ferreted and ran with lurchers at other times so hopefully i will get back into the grove. Im really after sensible constr

Dotty, the dam is the red merle and her mother was a bull/grey/whippet and her father a collie/grey, hence her being a bull/grey/whippet x collie/grey. The sire to the litter is the rough coated grey/white dog which is a collie/greyhound. So I'm not quite sure what point you are trying to make. As for giving dogs away for free, great if you have enough friends/family who want one, on the other hand advertising pups at a higher price is the fastest way to sift out the time wasters and idiots from the genuine dog people. I wouldn't give my dog away to someone i'd only just met who said th

Total sympathy for you mate. Take them indoors for a bit or put them somewhere else. Its certainly not funny.

I wondered the same tbh. Lets hope not and if not I say good luck and defo keep him.

Fair enough for asking the question. Firstly, the fact that a dog is aggressive with other dogs is NOTHING to do with its working breeding etc. Some foolish people that call themselves terrier men think some how agression = working credentials. Rubbish. Some of the best and hardest working dogs I have ever seen were placid and sociable and quite content in the company of other dogs. Its is more to do with how the dog has been treated to date and some agression can be normal if the dogs has, for example, been locked in a kennel and not socialised or exercised properly. Personally it looks a gre

What's this "Line Bred" Nonsense ?
omegathelast replied to tommarshall's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Fair comment and nice sentiments.... -
Good to see a different cross. Fair play and real good luck
-
Why do people talk utter macho shite. "I treat my dogs hard blah blah blah" from my experience usually equates to i cant be arsed looking after them or training them properly. Nonsense. Anyway, bitches for me. More biddable and trainable and naturally inclined to work from the get go, thats a genetic fact.

Brilliant. lovely to see non-typical dogs doing the business and being well thought of. My mate had a collie type that was a great all rounder with endless stamina, she would ferret, lamp, work alongside terriers and was mustard ratting, although from memory her insistence on retrieving the rats to hand was a bit comical...

hello...welcome!! -
you wont go wrong with a good Russell. Ive got a Russell x Paterdale who has ben a brilliant dog and very good with kids etc..

superb border/bearded crosses are very intelligent, full of stamina and strength but not always as racey as some other crosses. I had one which caught hundreds of rabbits in the dales and had more brain power than me and my mates.....!!
