bigbenj21 1 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 A terrier crawls into the earth and deliberately places himself in the greatest possible danger. He forces his way into uncomfortable situations which may cost him his life. He strives to get into close proximity with his oponent , and when he does, he makes life extremely difficult for that opponent. He barks, he bites, he nips, he holds, he bolts or he kills. Sometimes, he himself loses his life. Why? Why? A working terrier does not do all this to feed himself. He does not kill to eat. He does so from some basic instinct which tells him that he must destroy this creature which stands before him. He must, he can do no other, for this is what he was bred for. To serve his master in pursuit of the varmint. Quote Link to post

half n' half 8 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 it all sounds very dramatic but in reality the terrier like all other working dogs is compelled to do what he does through centuries of selective breeding by man. Quote Link to post
