I thought Dave H done a fair few interviews and then wrote probably the most accurate account of Smithy's breeding in an early EDRD... I know i've read it somewhere? Time dims memory but i can recall reading that he was out of a B&T dog (can't remember reading Cowan though) and PP & CD had him before Gouldy.

He judged Peover GF two years ago. My daughter in the child handler class.

Was thinking about an old mate, now passed, the other day and that he hunted all his life, yet i never seen him wearing hunting or walking gear. He just used general gear... Now TBH i buy a lot of gear with hunting in mind and almost all my coats and jackets get a general use before spending the rest of thier days in the field. Which lead me to wondering, if you have any none hunting (walking/outdoor) gear that you use in the field. Have you got any none hunting kit you prefer over hunting kit...??

Never liked the man (or rather his tv persona) but he started his career with coursing and always stood up and defended it... So its an RIP for that from me.

Inbred but a mung - As in mongrel...? Makes no sense... The dog blackmag was referring too was bred near 30 years ago, from stock that carried no other blood. That gear knew how to use their mouths for ALL quarry, soft or hard...

Eh...???

Yup... ??

Bought mine off him direct in the early 90's i think. I know it was ar the game fair in Haigh Hall Wigan.

My brother went to Glastonbury every year for nearly 20 years. His Mrs went this year with a friend, on the ticket that was his.... One of these years we'll get there, feel like its time to get to a festival again. Like Sandy i used to do it back in the day but stopped in '88 and just went to single artist gigs. Here's a couple of good 'un's i went to back in the day...

Do you mean Smithy FL? If so, its true there was some bigguns out of him but i've seen a good few of average size too. A mate of mine had a good bitch of about 12". She lived to a ripe old age too, think she was about 17 when she went. He used to boast she was the last dog direct out of Smithy alive.

One of my favorite creatures toads. I used to have a EBT that would gobble them up on sight, with seemingly no after effects but then, the dog was as mad as a hatter..! ??

Bring it back...!!!!

Watched a couple of games now, the women are playing good football...

Sounds right Glyn, I stand corrected. I knew Brian had met Breay, I've been present on a couple of his talk nights years ago. Though i thought he went up to meet him and Brian's terrier history did change from talk to talk.... ? Maybe its Park i'm getting confused with?
-
Breay and Buck were friends (of a sort) and used each others terriers to breed from. Westmoorland was a friend of Breay. Maurice Bell knew both Breay and Buck and hunted with Buck as a youngster. Nuttall went looking for Breay when he was a youngster because he had heard how good his terriers were and Breay took a shine to him and sold him one. Stacey i have no idea about and Gouldy knew his market and simply cashed in....

Nice pup Jossa ?

Well worth a watch... ?

I remember Spartacus from the mid to late 80's. Ken would peg him and his progeny out for all to see a shows.

Fine hounds indeed SHH... ?

Not buying it that's an early Staff P3d.... The stafford is well photographed from that time and none look like that. I'd go for a smooth Irish terrier or crossbred of Irish dogs
-
Gotta love that first photo, digging badgers in a bow tie and it remains perfect... Feckin quality that..!! Have a read of that advert too.. ?
