Guest stewie Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 fair enough gd waz. ive read the traditional working terrier, the patterdale terrier and middletons one and can honestly say the were the most boring books ive ever read about dogs but thats just my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waz 4,291 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I think its all a matter of taste. Stewie, you obviously are challenged in this department. Im glad im not alone in thinking Mr.Frain is probably the best modern day experts on fieldsports, and for him to enrich us all with his knowledge is very generous of him. Time for all the Frain fans to stand up and be counted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pointer 543 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 some books are worth reading because they are wrote/compiled by lads that work dogs so you might pick up a few tips.......harcombe, P.Lloyd,darcy. then theres the books that are full of nonsense and mad drawings but ones that must be read for the entertainment value........frain,bezzant,plummer.

whin 463 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 compared to d harcombe bert gripton not a patch on these guys and a few others,there very few good book writers now , no depth or hard expierence ,maybe if the ban gets lifted and afew real hunting guys etc put pen to paper it would be intresting , read one frain book very poor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

foxdigger13 114 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 in the patterdale terrier he just keeps on mixing them up with lakelands and fells and it sounds like he has never worked a patterdale in his life Quote Link to post Share on other sites
