oxcroft kennells

[oohmydog 82]

I can remember a lot of us in the mid lancs f&mwtc trying to rescue a border dog in the biggest queer fellas home at the side of a main road for 4 days and then a few years later i got told it was a stunt to put the pedigree borders strain on the map is this the same line or was the dog realy lost to ground

jack had the same russell line as t duggan, but borders fetched more money, like i said before price by name and nature.

I've known Jack Price for 63 years, bred and born in the same village of Shuttlewood we where both miners I worked at Oxcroft colliery from where the prefix originated from, I can remember bumping into Spratt over the fields not far from where we lived when I was in my teens, he had with him about 10/12 terriers and he kept control over them with a whip.

I seem to remember him having some russells which were white with abit of tan and some brown spots and on the leggy side, very pleasing to the eye In my opinion Spratts a good dog man and the dogs bollocks

An old aquaintance of mine had a Price bred Russell in the 70's. Did a lot of fox work with the dog and rated him very highly. He used the dog over as many bitches as he could, which was a lot.

Many of the russells around the Glasgow area will go back to that dog all those years ago. Smooth, leggy, quite strong.

Hi Stevie my old man has been posting foties of those very terriers you speak of on moochers but he's not clever enough to get them on here although one of his mates took one of JNR and BIG JOCK from moochers and reposted in the tribute to Big Jock (TAIT) on here.

terry dugan and jack price had the same russell they got them from e furness, dugan reckoned they were the real deal.
