    I haven't read all this thread but have seen a few references to dog aggressive Labs. I have found this to be an increasing problem over the last 10 year or so. Not gundogs, but situations where people decide to walk the family pet. I try to avoid places where family pets are being walked but every year it becomes increasingly more difficult as they become ever more adventurous in the places that they go. I put it down to successful show dogs that have been offered to public stud that carry this fault but don't know for sure. Interesting to hear that people on the other side of the world have

    I have posted this before on THL but have always loved the photograph. I find it interesting on several levels. Not least being the quality of the terriers. I have no doubt that they were the Fox Terrier of the day. How could breeders and judges of the present Fox Terrier compare the dogs in this picture with their own and think that they have improved them? To me it beggars belief.

    Could be a while before there’s dancing by the banks of the slightly wide almost impressive Wear when it comes to football matters...not my concern.

    And there will be dancing in the streets by the banks of the broad majestic Tyne if it has ...more than likely we will have been sold down the river once again though.

    I'm not getting carried away with all that is being reported in the media. Would love to see a change of ownership to someone with a little bit more ambition regarding pushing the club on, get Rafa to sign a new contract, buy Rondon, retain the services of Perez and Longstaff, win the FA or League Cup at a push and qualify for Europe this coming season, even Europa League (even though watching the final now and it is shite so far). Don't expect to win the league this coming season, have waited long enough and 2020/21 would be ok with me. I can dream.

    Thank you for taking the time to reply Wahchadero. Not just a reply but a considered and informative reply. All the best and happy hunting.

    That Russell he had at the time was a well bred animal I believe

    Nice to see a black n tan...handsome is as handsome does and all that, colour having bugger all to do with ability, but nice all the same. Hope she does well for you.

    Just a stab in the dark and it probably not an Airedale but this is the old type that I was thinking of. Even though it is an old type this one looks like it has been trimmed and stripped out, they were quite heavy coated going on some old photographs.

    I believe this is the lurcher that you are referring to. Don't own the book but borrowed it from the library years ago. I found this postcard quite a bit later and it is only titled "Leaping lurcher by Fay Goodwin 1973", but sure that is Rebecca from the book. A nice type and great photograph given the cameras of the time, took real skill using them.

    Could even be old Airedale type before KC registration when they were developed into a very large Welsh/Lakeland lookalike. The old Airedale would have been a useful mooching dog and a handy guard around camp.

    This was a gift from a Czech friend. The only real use that I have for a knife these days is gutting and skinning rabbits and cleaning fish. The blade is a bit too chunky for doing rabbits and I have always thought that it was too nice to be exposed to salt water and fish guts.

    I have question Wahchadero, a genuine question. I will firstly say that I find this an interesting thread with photographs of some fine looking dogs. Question: What is the Dogo Argentino? Not what it does or what present breeders standards are but where did it come from? The breeding behind those that exist now. My almost none existent knowledge comes only from books. The breed is banned in the UK and I have not came across them on my limited travels. "Book learning" tends to say that a Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez set out on breeding programme to create them in 1920. Variou

    Very nice healthy, happy looking pups

    A nice terrier and the 1st pic is a great photograph. The head portrait of that "type" against that background...some things haven't changed and let's hope they never will.

    Thank you for replying and sharing the photograph. Bullit was the sire of my terrier in this pic. I am not trying to pretend that I was part of the "scene" at the time, more a case of on the outside looking in, but there was some great Russell men around at that time.

    Was that JE’s Bullit, if you don’t mind me asking?

    True. I have always had an aesthetic eye. Cars and women have came and gone (no pun intended), but quality Russells have been a constant. They never change or depreciate ?

    Two enjoying the Sun coming up to 40 years apart. Many things have changed in the intervening years, many for the worst, but some things never change. The good things!

    That’s one hell of a back yard! Luck man and lucky dogs?

    The job is as good as done mate. The pup is only 12 week old, you have ferrets on site and seem to have common sense. That's all you need. I would be concerned if a terrier pup, a proper terrier pup, was not letting the devil drive him on with a ferret. It will be the 1st furry little thing he has came across in his life? Control the exposure. Let one ferret out during the exposure (assuming it knows dogs), have him on a lead. Let him sniff etc. Give a little flick on the muzzle when/if he tries to use his mouth. Use the lead, use your voice. I would not personally advise trying to s

    I should have wrote getting confused with. JB and MD. Not the original post but some of the replies. Unless the 2 lines are the same in which case it is me is confused, my apologies.
  25. eastcoast
    Are we not confusing 2 different men here?
