The point im making if a pup starts its life winning puppy class rosettes, then wins the under 12 month class. Then that dog has a fair crack of the whip around the earths but dont make the grade.Is it the same end result what would happen when an ugly little terrier dont make the grade.

If it does,nt make the grade it will be chucked in at the end of a dig,made to take some stick,entered in the next working class and the stud fee and price of pup will go up.Bollocks who would sink to those levels?.

All you lads on here having a good moan about workers and show dogs.

There was a legend of a man died last week that kept through out his life time some of the nicest and hardest Lakeland terriers

That any man would be proud off.

He won many a show in summer and worked his terriers with the Melbreak in some of the hardest country in the lakes.

His line of terriers was probabley one of the original sources of Ian Churches breeding. And many others.

One of the founders of the Fell and Moorland Working Terrier Club.

 

RIP. John Cowen.

And a fine gentleman too..... that is terribly sad news.

 

Does anyone know if his funeral has taken place and if not any details please ?

 

R.I.P. John a true gentleman of the old school... a role model for us all and for any aspiring terrierman.

Very sorry to read that, like Barry said, a true gentleman was John Cowan and a fine terrierman, simply one of the best.

 

Yep, Linton Lad, a Lakeland legend.

Last time I was at a show, whilst standing their watching the lurcher class a fella in front of me had a nice strong looking nuttal type dog, another fella asked him if he worked it, " no it's to good with the kids" . That was the last time I went to a show and with threads like this It proves I'm not missing nothing.

my mate woz in a dog show this year and a very well known terrier man came up to him for a chat he had a nice chocolate dog on a lead my mate asked had much with the dog two firsts and a second woz his reply my mate nearly choked on his pint

 

 

Cheers, D.

john always had time for a chat --bred the right sort a true gent the type of man who would go hungry to put a plate of food in front of you.... rip jc

[gonetoearth 5,144]

Just before i read that i was going to say. Showing terriers Has gone on since hounds have hunted like minded people gathering during the summer months to enjoy a drink and a chat , JC like many enjoyed showing and judging , shows are not a threat to the working terrier far from it and long may it continue , RIP MR Cowan May your legacy live on through the people who have and cherish your lines
