Guest dee mac Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 SMIFFY was bigger , same long head though was he mute, he was 15to16 inches and very strong any foxes he got to he smashed no barking .had some very hard testing digs to this dog week in week out was a bit disappointed when he started to go off as he was still in good shape but with 5 hard years under his belt and his 8th birthday behind him i suppose i cant complain Quote Link to post

downsouth 8,354 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 My old bitch is a grandaughter of flint and i was led to believe he was by spartacus.Wehad a couple of really good dogs by spartacus mixed with smithy blood in the early 90s and when stood next to flint could have passed as his littrmates.If flint wasnt by spartacus how was he bred Quote Link to post

Guest pip Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Ah well reputations speak for themselves and so do dealers.Am i wrong?Can everyone slag Nuttal for peddling and all the modern day dealers and not say anything about others,just cause you knew them?Most terriermen have a dislike for big money peddlars but don t dare say anything about that certain peddlar whom your animals are decended from.That explains it then,dont do as i do do as i say? I never new or want to know any of the puppy farmers but i didn t say anything about the dogs,if you reread my post. Quote Link to post

Guest pip Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 hes getting on a bit now sqeak would av loved you to have called him that to his face years back , no wonder digging gets a bad name with urchins like you in the game ah well ,why was smiffy a ledgend probly because it did [bANNED TEXT] it said on the can and , threw a lot of good pups turned out to be gooduns differance was years back you could beleave the people who owned good terriers , these days every one, has a ledgend And B&T while your on your King Ken rant another reason why the dog was so famous was because good lines bred from him can go back no further than Smithy cause it was your pal who you "could believe" that told people he didn t know where he came from. SO WHAT HAPPENED IN REALITY WAS A DEALER GOT A GOOD PRODUCER AND CUT ALL TIES AND CONNECTIONS WITH ITS PREVIOUS OWNERS AND HENCE ANCESTRY AND EVERYONE RELATED THE GOOD PRODUCER TO THAT PARTICULAR PEDDLAR.BIG NAMES MEAN BIG POUNDS.£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££ ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££ £ ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££ £ ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££ £ £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££.
