Mine 11m and gives about % at the minute but im not too worried because shes still young, have you had many plummers?

had two plummers bud,got my first in 2004 both cracking dogs.bin working terriers for over 30 years worked with most types,but the plummer for me is the best all rounder.

Keith your dog has similar marking's to this bitch i used to have..she would of been around 15/16yr old now but she died at 8yr old.

 

nice looking dogs bud,just out of interest what did your bitch die from.

a good day out!! what them plummer terriers like at ratting mate?

alright bud,plummer terriers make fantastic ratting dogs,not only do they kill extremely well,they have fantastic noses,and aren't scared of a hard days graft,i work rats on a regular basis with mine can't fault her,happy hunting my friend.

She kept getting tumour's and in the end she was only left with 2 nipple's..but the tumour's did not stop there..she ended up with one on her brain and had to be PTS at 8yr old..her daughter also had to be PTS at 8yr old through kidney failure through Leptospirosis.

shame that bud,reason i ask ,is' i had to have one off mine pts due to kidney failure,wasn,t down leptospirosis.it was kidney failure found in old dogs.some of the old lines carry this defect [hence the influx of new blood and selective breeding]were the dogs die fairly young.'my bitch was seven when she died.I rat on a regular basis so get my dogs jabbed every year against leptospirosis,just curious thought you mite of experienced the same faults as my bitch had,cheers bud .keith j.

I have one here over 14yr old now mate and he was only jabbed as a pup and he has killed thousand's of rat's look in my gallery and older post's... ..they is many strain's of lepto and the jab only cover a few..so it's a waste of time realy..

i'm the same as yourself bud ,ive killed thousands of rats over 34 years,ive seen a few dogs die of lepto,the strain of lepto carried by rats is the same strain my dogs get jabbed with,wouldn't take the risk mate fore 30 quid a year,never lost a dog to this diseese ,but this is my oppinion and you have yours,but never the less,wish you all the best and happy hunting my friend.
