Rickshaw swami 2,884 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I know nothing of Plummer terriers.I do know about American KC beagles.When my wife and daughters wanted an inside pet that's what I got them as I knew it would be no trouble and I knew he wouldn't bother the rabbits in my front yard. His call name is worthless. Quote Link to post

I've seen some weird and wonderful breeds and mongrels make useful rabbit hunting dogs and would have thought any Beagle type could be easily switched on to them.

TonyT 857 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 If it came out of Plummer’s mouth , it’s a lie. if he was alive today he’d be banned from keeping dogs , and this site would be laughing at the pillock. his animal husbandry was appalling . there aren’t many people I dislike but that man lied , lied , copied and lied again . just my opinion T 8 Quote Link to post

I have and had friends who were active with the little dogs in his day. im yet to hear a good word. ive nothing against the Plummer terrier , not keen on the name , but more work has been done for the breed since he passed. again , just my opinion.

micky 3,053 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I think that Mr Plummer's biggest fault was that he made a few Bob,............over my life time none of the experts can stand a Man who can make a few Quid . 3 Quote Link to post

There may well be truth in that mate. His books were based on other lads days out not his own. working dogs and money are poles apart for me. ATB ... T 3 Quote Link to post

A KC Beagle x KC Manchester Terrier a friend owned made a superb rabbit hunter. He's never showed an interest even though he sees them daily.In my opinion there's a big difference between a "beagle" and a rabbit dog.Most good rabbit dogs in my area look like beagle Chihuahua crosses or beagle basset hound crosses. I have seen several American KC beagles from different sources and didn't like any of them.I seen good KC coonhounds, hogdogs, even seen a good KC Russell once.I have never seen a decent hunting American KC beagle.Ive hunted with around 40 different ones from 5 sources.Just my opinion though.

Not a great fan of the KC. But would never describe a dog as worthless if it had not been given a fair chance to prove its worth, KC or not. Off topic but a sign of the times ...the Beagle x that my friend owned was "free to good home", today the litter would probably make £1000-2000 a pup. 2 Quote Link to post
