Glenn x Wheaton pup

[davey crocket 37]

Jigsaw did anyone around you ever put them Glenn’s in to their Russell’s back in the day ? You hear of few adding various bull blood , these pics Glenn’s look like you’d get good strong sorts on your Russell’s something like old Sealyham shape lower slung than English bull stuff maybe ?

they or at least S B put  M R sealyham into their stuff, its debatable if they had any sealyham in them or as a few men in the know say they were a few breeds in them including dachshund plus a little wire coated russell type, the dogs from that area didnt need anything in them as they were doing fine and all the introduction of this new blood did was give them a linty coat but it didnt affect their working ability so i suppose it helped the gene pool, sorry to go off track.

Interesting , only them that bred them would know I suppose.  More a Sealyham type I’d say be nigh on impossible to find genuine working sealy.  Just curious if anyone around the white dogs in Ireland ever had success with Glenn’s instead bulls mixed in.

I was digging with SB when the 1st selyham came over to him...he was an old dog and I went out and dug to him with the men,...he was used on sb's line after that,

Had dogs 30 odd years ago,that's what is say they were. (My cousins got 2 pups from somewhere in North cork(I think freemount)-one was like a Russell coloured glen, the other one looked like a tiny Irish terrier. I used the small 1 over a bitch I had -1 pup came out like a fullbred Glen of imaal- was a good worker too .

could have been anywhere in cork ,I suppose. I've freemount in my brain for some reason - could be getting mixed up with another dog.
