[gonetoearth 5,144]

They never turned rockterrers into fook all the fell is the fell a utillity terrier. All shapes sizes colours. A melting pot of beddy border xbreds. Any thing that worked to any thing that worked there best to there best no magic formular. The fell evoled through Working them

bullshit, the people who worked em made the breed, thats people who didnt mass produce litters and the people you would never know about. not just the usual names

its all a matter of opinion i saw wave after wave of terriers come to north wales from the lakes,the book sure helped the peddlers sell the now in fashion Fell Terrier many of the lines in the fell terrier book where plan shit ok if worked in pairs, some Cowen, Richardson and Parkin stuff i saw where great terriers, then the blacks started coming from Yorkshire and the midlands wow now they where the digging dogs and the rest is history

. Lol blackterriers wereallready there and. Bnts and. Red. Fell is type nothing more nothing less it aint opinions its afact. Wales both north and south had as much input into the workingterrier we call the fell as any part of the uk and in some places more ,

[Glyn..... 5,199]

North wales may have had a greater impact on the foundation stock than many think, F.Buck hunted often with packs in north wales and bought and sold terriers, i was told he bought a few almost black and a red fawn from the ynysfor hunt area, maybe when Mr Breay said he thought the line originated wales, it may not of been tongue in cheek was many thought! who knows how long the trade of working terriers has gone on for

 

 

some very dark looking welsh terriers April 1901

Changed yeh mind now lol write a book

[Glyn..... 5,199]

no i haven't changed my mine, hell of a lot of those rock dogs where crap for digging and hell of a lot where doubled up to work a fox it was when the black dogs where breed and worked in Yorkshire they became famed

Yynsnor......Terriers of this type all over the Lakes....Still get this type poppin' up

Terrain,usually dictates where Terriers end up Similiar build and Traits ,will always end up in the Hands of men who Need a "TYPE" to work in their Domain & Weather..

That's why the Trade in Fell Type was two way....meant Hill dogs for Hill country.......Wales, Scotland,Ireland...an Russells for the Soft South

Black Dogs ,just Aberdeen Terriers with Dropped ears ( SCOTTIES) of the Old Todhunters,melted into the Xbreeds of the South..

Thats' my take on it anyway .

glyn would take with a pinch of salt what GONETOEARTH SAYS he thinks that fioana McPherson terriers are workers lol shows you what he must no what a laugh

[gonetoearth 5,144]

The history of the working fell type the romantics in the lakes would have you beleave is born out of some mystical. Line of terrier when the truth is It evolved. Throught out the mining and industrial landcape as much as it did with the fell packs , your comment on these rock dogs. Well it takes a speicial tyke to find in a big borran. Up against a creature thats had thousands of years of evolution behind it to crawl a spilt in a rock or a slide through a grike. The fell book was one mans interpritation in one short story when there are chapters and characters who will never be mentioned in any book nor would they want to be. It is not an arugument over when and were or who , as the type just evolved the day its standardised would be the end ,
