Well said DM. Thats my point workin terriers are more of a type than a breed. If lads were more interested in working em and less about conformation, the working 'lakies' would be in safe hands!

No Struck me as a decent & thorough account of fell terrier origins and history including pics of each terriermans/hunts dogs. None of which conform to a certain type. Which terriermen should not have been included?

How did those who now keep pedigrees to themselves, obtain the pedigrees of their

Well said p3d. Cant understand lieing. Its very simple be honest with yourself and others and you cant go wrong!

I thought Cyril Breay was known to refute any idea of Bull in his line of terrier?

Never did we slip a dog on a hare at night, having learned early on how vulnerable & stupid they are on the lamp. But we were often confronted both day and night by members of the local coursing club. Likewise landowners often confronted us again looking out for the hares on behalf of the coursing club.
