solostoke 1 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 its a blast from the past mate,my grandad had 1 when i was a kid,it was a right tough little fecker,it was a awesome worker rats rabbit,did charlie for fun and lived to a ripe old age of 11,sadly tho i think theyve gone the same way as a lot of other working terrier breeds,either ruined by the crufts lot or sadly no longer exist,i hope you find some working strain out there cos if my grandads dog is owt go by they were very handy dogs how an earth would crufts ruin a breed ? lol its a show where the dogs are breed to the absolute best quality with years of pedigree generations , if anything it promotes the breed to the very best of what it is , have you tryed looking for a pure manchester terrier ? http://www.epupz.co.uk/puppiesforsale/all_...r%20Terrier.asp here you go mate all the best yeh i suppose youre right,the lakies that enter crufts look the absolute best quality,i bet they could work allday everyday :crazy: so a dog thats shown has no ability to work and no basic instinct to hunt ? no, but they breed best looker to best looker whereas we breed best worker to best worker. what do you think will work best???

Crufts could improve the breed quality and health of many spoilt breeds, such as King Charles Spaniels, English Bulldogs, Bassetts, etc., simply by refusing such breeds entry to their show, until the breeds improved in health and confomation.
