jigsaw 11,809 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 from years back that top pic is a cracker, got the look of a flynn staff about it... Yokel mr.flyyn himself lives not far from my home ,but he has none of his blood in it,,he was off of a working terrierxstaff,to a russel bitch,he actually stoped working and refused to go after a few great seasons with him,for no understandable reason.after a few efforts to get him going and failure each time i did the unforgivable(to my mates anyway)I gave him a shake in the stop end and he went on good.took him out and brought him to another earth and away he went again for 4 more seasons ,working to a very high standard,.to this day I cant explain why he just downed tools and refused to go even after few good seasons.never had I seen it before and never since,thankfully.....never bred from him though after that, 3 Quote Link to post
smasher 1,055 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Jigsaw I havent any of that stuff left now,I was working a dog that I bred,up until the end of this season out of a bitch that I bred that was double bred out of that last Russell I put up,to a local Russell dog,who was going well for me but after having dug him 54 times at the age of 3 1/2 decided it was no longer for him.the old dog never got the bitch he deserved after looking high and low.i tried to source a bitch for him but they are like hens teeth.there is stuff down in cork that interests me but its kept in a close circle,I have straws but by of the old dog so all is not lost.
