We are a very small kennel of plummer terriers, based between the
Wear and Tees valleys on the edge of the North Pennines in an Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Our main interest is in the working side of the breed, the reason
for which plummer terriers were originally developed. This
is sadly all too easily forgotten in recent times by those seeking
to breed only for show ring recognition. We believe
that we must keep the working abilities of these dogs alive if plummer
terriers are to remain true to their breed in the
future. Plummer terriers excel as ratting dogs, due
to their excellent noses, their speed and agility but they also
make good all round hunting dogs, for the very same reason. They
usually have a high prey drive and are very "driven" dogs,
a reason why we do not think they are usually suitable dogs in a
pet only environment. All of our dogs are used in vermin
control on sporting estates around the country. Our dogs are registered
with the
Working Plummer Terrier Registry (WPTR).
We own and work both the "pure" and the more recent "new
blooded" plummer terriers, controversially introduced in Brian
Plummers last breeding programme in 1998. We only very
rarely have litters available as we breed when we require a puppy
for ourselves. We are pleased to announce the latest addition
to our kennel, a bitch puppy out of Wyremead Suzi by the late Coalville
Sony; Saxon "Petal". Petal is from "pure" lines. Pictures
here. This litter was bred solely for our own purpose and both
puppies are being kept by ourselves and owner of the sire.
