By proper Russell maybe you mean the short legged toyish sort of dog ? There seem to be 1000's of them still around if you look on the pets for sale kind of sites. They ask lots of money for not much dog though in my opinion. Thinking about getting yourself a working bred terrier may draw criticism on here as well though. Some will say that it would be a waste of a good dog unless you're hunting fox regularly. Some people live in an ideal world.
What you will get in a working bred terrier is a physical and mentally sound dog. Far more so than most other sorts that are around today. An intelligent animal that you can take anywhere, will be sound around people of any age, know how to behave in any situation and catch rats for fun. What you could also end up with though is a mad psycho dog from hell that appears not to have a brain, is a liability around people, and attempts to kill any other animal it comes across. A working bred terrier can be a difficult type of dog to own. Don't equate the small size with lack of effort/knowledge required from the owner. But I recommend them...or a whippet.

because I want to hear other people's opinion i have my own doesn't make it right and I'm happy enough to change my opinion if someone puts forward some good points

Don't need a dog but I believe it can have a good life on the farm and if I'm going to get a dog I'd rather have one that I actually want..

Was thinking about that but I haven't seen a "proper" one for years

So the cz 452 and the Bruno model 2 which I am waiting for on my permit are the same guns just different names?
-
I've been given a Brno .22lr waiting on the permit to come through but all should be sorted I hope by next week maybe 2. There's a sterling Nikko scope 4x32 looks alright any suggestions if I need to change it also I've heard about problems with the trigger being very slack ( haven't shot the new toy yet) is there a proper fix? Also would it be worth putting it in for a service when I get it ??

Mine had a argument with one too, two big rips on his front leg now luckily my sister works in the vets, so the bill was cheap but can't always rely on that favour.

I am a unexperienced very unexperienced at fishing but so far Ive been very lucky on the first day of the season I had nothing to the point I was for going home then a kind gent showed me what to use and how to fish them so ended up catching 27 before catching a tree got my flies back but had to cut the leader from then I had 4 keepers and none under 9" (I've just realised there's no full stops). So from the first I have been out several times, even ended up going for a swim today. Have been steadily improving and catching more and more fish. Got 6 fish today (only out for 45 mins my swim cut the outing short ) However 4/6 fish where 12-14" the other 2 between 8 and 9. so have had a very good week and the water is not as cold as I thought .

Basicallly I'm after what east coast discribbed as a working terrier.. the type of jack Russell my granda had, a real character with more shape and better traits than the typical "pet". it won't be my first dog I've had working springers lurchers (whippet cross with a colie grey) and still have two other dogs ones 10 the others the far side of 13 but both still nut cases.. But I haven't owned a terrier And know there a different animal so want to do my research before I jump in
