Cleanspade 3,324 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 as long as you look for working lines the breed is unimportant. and your choice would depend on the type of workstyle you looking for from your terrier. i personally like a good russell Quote Link to post

tearem 31 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I think the breed doesn't matter as long as it does the job, could be a mix of 4 terrier breeds as well. Maybe for a first terrier try and find a reasonable entered one, although it will be difficult to come by a good one. In your first season, the terrier has to teach you. I go 15 seasons now and sometimes the terrier is still teaching me.... Quote Link to post
