The Fell Terrier cannot ever be repeated, times have moved on, things change and that book was snap-shot of an era that,today, seems so long ago. it's done now, and it's the best it's ever going to be, so read the book for its strengths , not it's weaknesses....JMHO. 6 Quote Link to post

Their dogs done the talking, just look at the posts on hear about K Gould. Quote Link to post

AJ still popping out Wee Soldiers that stand to attention at 11wks..last time I seen Him ,was in a Brightmoor class with Ped ..Blacks @ 11wks and they got a Ribbon.. Plummers take on Bills ommission was as I understand,they went for a walk..Bills Fells all pissed of Hunting..Plummer reckoned he was'nt in control of them so left him out the Book.. Bills take was Plummer was an Ass...an told Him to Piss off .. Plenty of the mens Kids' are still about and Hunting ...Brightmoore,Clements, Wild etc.. sure they are well and capable off setting the Record straight.. Plus there were Plenty men NOT from the Fells HUNTING there & Breeding their dogs ..Bill had more than a Few well known Dogs ..Bred In Scotland .no doubt others had from other parts of the U.k. It wasn't the Mecca alot think it was..although it was and is a Grand place 1 Quote Link to post

Glyn..... 5,199 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 its a nice book ...missing Brightmoor , Gould , Stacy and many other who where in the forefront of turning the rock dogs in to digging dogs ... i think the book is a classic work that all should read 2 Quote Link to post

Rock dogs in to digging dogs, Brightmore, Gould, Stacey's blood lines are the foundation for a lot of the best digging dogs of today Edited May 1, 2014 by gasman 1 Quote Link to post
