Bloodlines
My opinions & thoughts on bloodlines
What is written on this page concerning the different lines mentioned are only "my" thoughts and not by any means written in stone for anyone,only what I / we observe based almost entirely on our own dogs of these lines.As an example,I have often said that "Gravedigger jr" is the hardest mouthed Patterdale I have seen and indicative of what we see in "our" Booth dogs."
Now I'm sure there are plenty of hard as and harder mouthed dogs of different lines.My assessment is ONLY based on what we witness of our OWN dogs and those closely related.
So if anyone gets offended,I'm sorry in advance,as I'm surely not trying to be a "know-it-all,cause I surely don't.
There are a lot of lines that may get overlooked and that is only cause my family and I aren't familiar with them personally.
I do hope to add & cover a lot more though cause If I had more time,money,& space,GOD willing I'd have a lot more dogs,of a lot more lines,cause there are some I'd like to try.
But I/we,have been blessed by GOD to own what we feel are some good,decent dogs,which is why we have what we do.
GOD Bless
Booth
We have been blessed to own some of the,tightest,but also most diversified strains of Booth dogs around.While our dogs carry the blood of proven workers and producers such as "Mileo","Red Rocket","Lil Bill","Raven","Smitty","Trap","Rocko","Bruiser II","Crackers","Simon",&"Tiny",they are all tied thru one of THE greatest foundation females of all time of any breed,the legendary "Tonic".Our dogs that are bred down from this great foundation,are hard,gritty locators that are bred to stay to task and if needed,finish whatever quarry that may be.This family is well established around the world,and there are quite a few folks who proudly own some of this family.I know we thank GOD we have been
able to.I am also thankful to know Mr.Robert Booth as a friend and without him and his work,this fine line would not exist.
Nuttall
Nuttall is to Patterdales what Colby was to Bulldogs.If you go back far enough in just about any line,you will find Nuttall.Nuttall dogs are solid well rounded hunters,and when you have good one,it will make you proud.While there are many that come to mind,right off one thinks of "Black Tiger Rocky","Miner","Blackie","Maggie","Flint","Whip","Worry","One Eyed Jesse","Shaker","Gripper",and dogs that
come down from them.Without the input
of Brian Nuttall and his family,this fine
little breed of Terrier would not have thrived and persevered as it has.
We are thankful to own dogs of this established family.
Gould
Ken Gould has been a major player in the development and preservation of the Patterdale Terrier.
Gould dogs work today,as well as they did 25+ yrs ago.The Gould dogs are known for good finding,and dispatching quarry and displaying grit & tenacity if needed.They can run a bit larger,with strong heads/muzzles,and some leg to them.They are usually blacks or black & tans either smooth or broken coated.Of course they can be different colors,but the black is more prevalent.Ken's dogs can easily stand alone,or cross well with Booth,and/or Nuttall,just as they blend with Gould well.Some good ones that come to mind are:Scratch,Troy,Spartacus,Turbo,and Black Jack to name a few.If you have yourself a good Gould dog,they are as good as any.
