David Brian Plummer's The Working Terrier is a classic and influential guide for enthusiasts of traditional terrier work. It's a practical and passionate exploration of terriers bred and trained for underground hunting rather than the show ring. Plummer begins by evaluating various terrier breeds for their working potential, then delves into training methods, entering young dogs to quarry, and the challenges they may face in the field. The book is richly illustrated with black-and-white drawings by Martin Knowelden, along with photographs and diagrams that enhance its instructional tone. What sets it apart is Plummer's blend of hands-on experience and storytelling?he doesn't just instruct, he immerses the reader in the culture and ethics of working dog traditions. It's a book that appeals not only to hunters and dog trainers but also to those curious about rural subcultures and the bond between humans and their animals. David Brian Plummer?was a British writer, teacher, dog breeder, and something of a countryside maverick. Born in Bridgend, Wales, in 1936, he led a colourful and unconventional life that included stints as a gamekeeper in Europe, a professional boxer in America, and a teacher in the UK. He's best known for his books on working dogs, hunting, and rural life, often blending gritty realism with eccentric humour. His most popular works include Tales of a Rat-Hunting Man, Rogues and Running Dogs, and The Complete Jack Russell Terrier. He also developed the Plummer Terrier, a breed named after him. Plummer's writing is steeped in the traditions of British field sports and self-sufficiency, often reflecting his deep connection to the countryside and its characters his books remain cult favourites among enthusiasts of rural lore and working dogs.
