Do you guys think that the obsessive breeding of specific 'breeds' of dogs has damaged/weakened the working terrier? For a long time terriers were just small dogs bred to each other for their characteristics and working ability. No one gave a shit if it was a lakeland, patterdale, fell or whatever. The show world started it, with the idea of 'pure breeds' which rendered everything else 'just mongrels'. If i had a say really good working lakeland bitch and wanted to breed her i'd just look for the best terrier i could find- the breed wouldn't come into it at all as what they look like or what n
