Not very often you come across them reliable sorts wilf. Ive owned one id class as good and i doubt id ever replace it so never tried.

True mate, I just struck lucky and me and the dog liked each other if that makes sense.....I’ll never own another dog as good or that I like as much.

Edited to add:

In these times of £3000 kennel club absolute articles of dogs, that little dog off Downsouth cost me £100 and I’m sure that barely covered what it cost the bloke to rear them........if a KC Spaniel is worth £3000 then that little mixed bred terrier was worth £50,000.

In another note, Chaz was a horrible grumpy old b*****d ! Lol

Aside from that, another great dog that I believe Glyn bred himself (but I could be wrong) was a little undershot bitch called Tilly......fantastic little bitch.

I was told she had over 400 digs under her belt and I can well believe it, she rattled round and bottled stuff up like a train.

I only went out with her a few times but had a result every time and the lad who was keeping her thought a lot of her.

Really, really nice little dog.

I never bred Tilly, my cousin did she was out of a bitch I bred and her sire was also out of a bitch I bred ,

Which then starts the age old question of when a line becomes your own? Was anything else added to the mix?

Wish I had graft for a young tyke like that, but be wasted doing what we do. You know how to breed a terrier mate, no denying that

Cheers I'm happy with him ... I'll be honest with you he'll never be fully tested in the same way as other terriers mentioned were but they've only ever had to put a smile on my face

[WILF 53,366]

If they are anything like that lovely little idiot I had they may decide to test themselves

Was out on a walk once, January and the little b*****d took off despite me shouting in him.....he then proceeded to swim a small stream and up a big banking then off into some woods.

I had f**k all with me as I was just out for a walk so I eventually found a hole about 150m away and sure enough could hear the little b*****d going at it.....I had to wade the stream and there’s snow on the ground and I’m piss wet through.

So I headed home (about 3 mile) for a spade.

Got back and was having to guess the digging by ear, turns out it was a big S shape spot and every time I busted through the dog had pushed the Fox round another bend and I had to start again, 3 hours and 3 holes later the dog finally had a big dog fox pushed back into an end.

Lifted the little b*****d and let the fox run, that dog got called all the c#nts under the sun that day.....pitch black when we headed home and the little f****r was bouncing around like nothing had happened ! Lol
