    Good working type of terrier Nick. Impressed with those.

    It is not worth doing mate unless you put it on clean metal,a much better alternative is to spray your vehicle with some Fresh oil underneath so it soaks into all the seams and into the chassis. That is definitely sound advice and I have also mixed new engine oil with grease (50:50) and slapped that all over chassis etc but avoid rubber hoses as some can react to oil. It will eventually wear off a bit and you may need to do it a couple of times a year, but the metal underneath it will stay like new and is definitely better than waxoyl... but a bit of a messy job. Cheers.

    Genetically, either the dog or bitch can have a greater or less significant impact on any mating dependant on how dominant the particular gene is in relation to the other animal in the mating. Some dogs will stamp their physical type to lots of their pups but this impact also depends on the genetic make up of the bitch they are bred to. Having said that I was always told to plan to perpetuate a working strain through the bitch line, which may be an old wives tale, but some of those have a habit of coming true! I usually prefer to work dogs than bitches, but still have the above in mind. Gener

    Just sent you a pm before reading this. What a sickener. Really gutted for you. She was such a great bitch. I know it can be part of what we do, but I didn't expect it to happen to Tan as she was that experienced at the job. Best wishes and really sorry to hear the bad news.

    They can be a handful alright(wheatens)but most of the bull blood worth breeding from would be similar ,that would of been a good way to do it,i reckon 3/4 smaller terrier 1/4 wheaten would be just right,but as you said they might not last too long due to wear and tear I bought a white dog at 3 years old about 12 years ago. Not being totally sure of his breeding I originally thought he was bred from a russell and a chocolate patterdale, but eventually discovered it was bred in Ireland and was about 1/4 wheaten. Powerful dog about 15" tts and a massive head. Probably best working dog I've

    Well done the young border and that's always the best way to quieten down any doubters!. Good to hear Tan is back in action after the litter. The dog pup is doing great thanks. Cheers.

    Thanks for the pics and both of those two look good. My dog does look just like his dam and has a bit tighter coat than his litter brother but otherwise a very similar type Both are good looking dogs and certainly keen to work. This next season should be a good one! Cheers and speak soon. Nick.

    Very nice.....a good quality smart looking Lakeland. Hope he works well for you. Best wishes. Nick.
  20. Midland Nick
    Thanks and I have just checked.... exactly 14 inches to the shoulder. He might grow a little more but he seems to have levelled out at this height.
  21. Midland Nick
    Thanks mate and I hope he works as well as he looks. Fingers crossed but all signs are good so far. Cheers.
  22. Midland Nick
    Thanks for the welcome mate. I think he will be a good one.
  23. Midland Nick
    Thanks pal . He seems very keen so far and I'm very pleased with him. Cheers.

    Putting up some pics of my young Lakeland dog pup who is now 10 months and shaping up well. Done plenty of ratting and general mouching with the other terriers and we will see how he gets on later this year. I have high hopes for him for next season as he is very keen so far. Cheers, Nick.
