As for the type of dogs he bred  Plummer ,Lucas  do they really have to go to ground to be called workers ? Is a ratting terrier not a worker ? They a lot of lads ,lasses across UK ratting with terriers are they not working the dogs they keep or is it only fox dogs that are workers?

I have no problem with people using there dogs for ratting work. But people  breeding dogs that have never seen an earth and selling them as workers I don’t agree with. There are plenty of jackers about that will make good ratting bushing dogs but shouldn’t be bred from imho

Killing rats in number is far harder on a terrier than working a fox or indeed old brock

I understand what you saying but not everyone who owns a terrier are in the position to go digging fox or want to dig fox 

I remember the ratting post on here few years ago ,they was good number of lads on this site posting "well done "great day ,looks a hard day's graft,  etc etc 

When terriers killing 209/300 rats a day that's some going is it not ? 

I know if I had a terrier id work it on rats go bushing ,ferreting as I don't want to go digging fox and Id want a pup not some dog that's classed as a jacker by fcuk knows who but I'd also do my best to get a pup from dogs going to ground but I would not dismiss a pup from good ratting stock 

Why not breed from good ratting dogs.

The days of digging fox is numbered and as been for a long time and I do not see the law changing anytime soon.

Right or wrong that's way it is
