Im sorry to hear the mans in a wheelchair,   Dave bred some very good dogs,a couple of mates had terriers from his stuff,my digging partner had a red dog,bit big for some fox earths but very useful

Just out of curiosity hunt,have you dug to terriers pre locator.The difference now in my mind is you can enter a terrier in very deep places where you will get a result,where as before the locator lad

My old man new him when they were both in the F&MWTC as area reps back in the 70s and used to meet him round the shows and at the AGMs some of the old names are still doing it John Winch is still active my old man and Jnr are still on the go one of the guys that used to send dogs up from Cumbria has been in touch and the Metcalf brothers judged our show last year when the judge didnt turn up the old team tend to go about their business without making waves. :notworthy:

IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD GET SOME PICS UP GONETOEARTH. LIKE I SAID HE WAS A GENT AND VERY KNOWLEDGABLE ON TERRIERS AND THE WORKING SIDE OF THEM, IME ALSO SORRY TO HEAR HE HAS JUST LOST HIS OLD DIGGING PALL. I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR THESE OLDER TERRIER MEN AND COULD LISTEN TO THERE TAILS ALL DAY, EVEN THOUGH IN A WHEELCHAIR WITH PARKINSONS AND A FEW MORE PROBLEMS YOU CAN SEE HE WAS A GOOD SIZE OF A MAN AND HANDS LIKE SHOVELS, HOPING TO MEET UP WITH DAVE IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND HAVE A LONG OLD CHAT.
