I can see them trailing scent okay as most will run a hot line almost full speed, I watch mine on fox quite regular to see how accurate they are and they are like little hounds when run as a pack, WM 1 Quote Link to post

unlacedgecko 1,467 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Unlacedghecko, they were my thoughts entirely, I have moved large pigs on my brothers farm and when we're off to market they can be difficult to load into a trailer, my plummers are stock broken but if encouraged my 16 lb bitch will take a snout hold and drag them into a stock trailer, she will move sheep and cattle also, I just think that photo looks like ill-disciplined dogs worrying stock, any pack hunting hogs or boar would contain larger dogs more suited to hunting larger quarry otherwise the death toll would be massive among the terriers, I advocate and endorse any hunting with plummers but most are pets and will never see any serious work, I have seen them work all legal quarry pre-ban as good as any breed of terrier but these types are rare nowadays and are certainly in the minority, URU, legal photo's will not contain much as we are bound by legal restraints in this country, I have took a back seat on a few plummer threads lately to see who actually works these little dogs other than me and the head count has been as bad as the club sites, the club sites have some experienced people like "keeps","Lacey",etc, that observe threads but hardly ever contribute towards carrying it forward unless one of their little "clic" has previously, if they were genuinely interested in the working progress of Plummers then more contribution from the likes of these would help the breed get amongst working terriermen and not middle class ownership kept as pets. Keith, I love your enthusiasm for the breed and it comes across loud and clear, your posts do a lot for the breed and I wish there was more like you, anyway back to topic, WM Not a video for general distribution on the internet, but it is something I would love to see. I think that the versatility of terriers is greatly under appreciated by a great many people these days. 1 Quote Link to post
