Lurcher89 4 Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Far as i know they show and work them. Well bred. It's the same with all dogs terriers lurchers etc some will make the grade and others won't. Personally i like a worker that looks good. All the top names show and work dogs so why can't the rest of us 1 2 Quote Link to post

Lurcher89 4 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Cheers. It's mouseys mate I'm talking about, i bought a pup off him awhile back, mousey turned up to see him though, he was saying he keeps pats now. From what they were telling me they had the same stuff. Just wanted to see if anyone else has any stuff off them and how they turned out, whether that's work or show. Think the fella was called John Quote Link to post
eastcoast 3,725 Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Lakelands and Russells were the most popular working types in NE England at one time. Terriers that were bred for work but also of a type that would get placed at shows during summer months. I met up with a lad who I hadn't seen for about 20 years recently and he still keeps that same type of Lakeland but admitted that they don't get the same type and amount of work that we once gave them. More to do with not having the same enthusiasm these days and present laws rather than the dogs not being capable. Quote Link to post

Ok. They bred well? The pup i bought was off a black bitch and red dog. 2 year old now. Seemed like a canny fella tbh so is John tbag ? Or they two different people? Said he kept black stuff and switched to reds, know he judges and won a lot of shows. Heard we works them but a couple of people said they are only show. He said they work and was telling me about digs he's been on. Over the moon with the dog I've got his stuff Quote Link to post
