Plummers v patts

[alimac 882]

its not but a 20 minute walk ends up an hours dig

Lol lol lol is that not the whole fecking idea of having a all rounder?? Going out and taking what ever comes??

[donnyc 1,203]

Think the days of taking whatever comes is long gone and illegal mate..Nice back when you could but as said long gone (legally)

[alimac 882]

Or a night in the cells LOL Or a big spot take more than an hour LOL..Locater or not if its in a bunny place more chance of lack of air digging on ....Not a locater invented to stop a terrier dropping in to undesirable places or illegal ones

If you know the ground your working you don't need a super collar to prevent it, just use a wee bit of your grey matter....

As for digging on, well that's just one of the many risks of the game is it not?? No sorry sir, can't put a dog in there, my dog might die from lack of air, lol lol lol

Ehhhh???? You took that statement a bit to literally fella, no one mentioned the dark side ;-)

All Depends on what you want, my mates had black patts , but gone back to plumbers, more steady and wants an easier life,

[johnny 777 53]

Well the feedback so far suggests that patts are better ground dogs ? Plummers are better bushing and ratting dogs and more steadier Could do with more feedback

[albert64 1,882]

an all rounder should be just that, so it would have to be a black un

a plummers ok for rabbit and rats

i got a lakie here that i class as an allrounder, she is actually a failed digging dog an i used her bushing bunnys, she ended up a cracking marker an respects ferrets so she was used for that, she entered to fox of her own free will while bushing bunnys an bolted it to a happy keeper, she has worked well for 5 seasons an loves work, she will stop bushing bunnys or ratting an work fox if teh chance comes, she also rats an had a load a mink, not a digging dog by a country mile, not an allrounder to everybody either as she aint too fond of the gun, will work with it but aint too happy about it, but she suits me an keep my landowners happy, i always carry a collar just incase an usually have a spade at hand or am local to the house

The topic Should have said, best all round terrier, out of all the terriers

Dont be getting all upset on us!! Maybe it is fella but it's a forum for discussion, and it ain't wandered as far from the original question as a lot of threads do :-)

I'd go for a well bred russell as an allrounder, wouldnt have a plummer given free. Best ratter I've ever seen was a plummer bitch but what a horrible b*****d of a dog it was temperament wise. Same dog walked off twice below ground

[johnny 777 53]

Not upset, just thinking of others who don't have patts or plummers

[Britishbull24 131]

Its fairly Simple. If you want a dog to dig to, Get a Black un. If you want to mooch about after Rabbits, Rats, Mink and Foxes on top. Get a Plummer or Russell.

Same dog walked off twice below ground Certain lines of plummers are aggressive. Some are not, but same in most breeds

It should also be said wats a black one and a plummer like with other dogs , i had a lakeland x patt that steamed into to 2 jack russels when a family was chillin on the Park, nightmare , my plummers a bit is a bit of a bold dog but hes not aggresive ,but its all in a dogs nature, same as any dog, pit your black patterdale against a plummer, ? i dont want to go there its all about how you bring your dogs up!
