I too like the lakeland. I would imagin as dp has said that the awards were got at terrier and lurchers shows, In this aera they are normally held in conjunction with the local hunt exemption(still cant get used to calling them companion) shows and yes they do take it very serious

Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing the photos - very interesting to hear what you do with your dogs. I noticed the full tail on your GWP mix so was interested to read your reply as I feel there will be more tails left on than was originally thought.
When my BIL showed his working Border Terriers around all the Terrier shows there were some lovely quality dogs shown although not necessarily "show" dogs. The owners were also very competitive! _________________ Sharon Pinkerton

I read every one of Plummers books and some of his articles too. I doubt very much if a man like him would have wanted any dog he'd bred recognized and registered by the K.C. He cared only for how well his terriers could kill rats. If I read his books correctly , this man discarded his first breeding line because a genetic fault began occuring . He did a fair old bit of inbreeding and he produced some terrific dogs like Vampire for example.
I still have some of his books the rest were from the library. His lurchers were pretty good too, he tried several crosses. I felt he was a bit of a chip on the shoulder man and he was certainly a bit of a loner. You'd have to be to move house up into the wilds of Caithness and try to earn a living from the land and the sea up there !
The last I heard of him he was being challenged by someone from England to run Phaedra his lurcher against some English dog. He was also trying to breed a decent line of white German Shepherds, I've no idea how that went !
last day of the season.ill still get out on some places but today was the last time on the moor so that the birds can breed in peace.
the dogs had to work hard to find rabbits as the snow was down and scent was bad.
theres always the grass fields and local areas where i can go bushing.ratting is done all year round aswell.
once the lambs are born we can go onto those dales aswell.
plenty to do,its only 16 weeks or so untill it all starts up again properly.
That's the beauty of lurchers - you aren't as restricted as you are when working on game. The grouse here are sitting incredibly tight so it's no dogs on the moor until July now.
