  1. Bull shite mate,because that's what you get on all these threads regarding Plummer terriers.love him or loath him makes no difference to me and personally couldn't give a shit either way.But some of us do choose to work his terriers and that is our own personally choice we're not forced to do so. Maybe if I New ten years ago what Know now about the bullshit and bickering amongst Plummer owners I would have stuck to working JRT. But I work Plummers with excellent results and out on a daily basis and that's just how it is. And like wm said these little dogs need daily stimulation to keep them f
  2. Hello fatalad I'm no expert,but I do believe that bull blood was used rather than fell or Russell was not to improve working ability,but rather to improve health. As at that time(1990s)a lot of fells and Russell's carried Perths disease and pattella luxation as did a lot of Plummers at that time and sexual dimorphism was rife amongst the breed. To remedy these problems bull blood was used,hope this is of some use like I say I'm no expert but a lot of folk are using new blood dogs(the blood was introduced in 1998)happy hunting Keith j.

There are plenty of folk with new blood dogs and getting exc
  4. Hello there wm yes it's bin a while hope you and your dogs are doing well. Your one of the few that dose Work your dogs and not a one track pony like a lot of folk.there's just so much bull shit in the Plummer terrier world.more folk should be out there working their little dogs to what ever they can and enjoy it. Lot of things have changed for a lot of folk due to this ridiculess ban. I myself have done plenty Fox work before the ban and know what's expected of a terrier?what I will say is I don't think any less of my dogs for not doing earth work as my dogs are worked week in week out and pr
  5. lot of folk will be cutting there noses of to spite there faces.only rat dogs?does that mean there not tested...dug too?does that mean there seasoned fox dogs or bin dug to once or twice in there lives.what im saying here is,is a dog that has bin dug to once or twice and done nowt else more worthy to be put over your bitch than lets say a dog that see's work three for times a week,bushing, ratting out in all weathers working for hours on end taking bite after bite of rattus yet still pushing its nose in to pull out another rat, be bit again for its troubles and not flinch.these little terriers
