Book excerpt: John Park has bred and worked some of the best terriers ever produced in the British Isles for several decades and he has become a legend in his own lifetime. He has hunted and dug all large British quarry with his earth dogs and his terriers have had a massive impact on the working terrier scene, not just in Britain, but in several other countries too, such as Ireland, Australia and America. This book traces the history of the John Park strain of working terrier and also touches on some of the great terriermen John Park has hunted and dug with, such as Cyril Breay, Frank Buck, Oliver Gill, Tony Broadbent and many more. This is a fascinating read full of hunting and digging anecdotes and terriers that were wonderful workers, the emphasis being on reliable and utterly game digging dogs. This book will delight experienced and novice terriermen alike and will interest any who have even a passing interest in working terrier breeds. Also included is a companion guide to Brian Plummer's The Fell Terrier, with many updates recorded.
