working terriers

[burny2011 12]

i never just walk them .i work them 5 out of a week

 

have you alway been a tit are is it something that you are working that .because you are the best at it

I think he ment that no pat "jacks", although id say ders a higher % of patterdales actually make da grade den other terrier breeds, just my opinion

for me its russells good work rate and very smart

id say there's just as many shite patts as there are anything else... and there's lots of shite. i think patts are more popular because all to many folk like a dog to look like it works or looks like its done alot even if it hasent. mainly because these folk dont do much.

 

there are good in every breed, folks should be alot less concerned with type or breed and be more concerned with lineage and how much its been tested and worked(ie not breeding off 11 month old dogs that do rats and rabbits). thats if there really bothered about working abilty over anything else.

i just find you amusing.......... your reply was as funny as it was tragic. he didnt mean "walk" your amazing rabbit hounds he ment "walk" asin come away from proper quarry.something you have admitted you know little of so i should of given you more of a chance. end of, dont ruin thread.

I like the look of Plummers myself but it doesn't matter what breed a dog is or how it looks as long as they do their job. My old neighbour used to go on about his Yorkies after rabbits and rats when he was a kid in the 20's. Absolute miniature demons with short hair apparently. Just goes to show its the dog and his training that matters, not just the breeding and appearance.

I think there is just as many jibbers in patterdales as any other working breed.A lot depends on how hard they are worked and how often,and the quarry they are worked on.Pre ban when lads could dig badger i seen a lot more russell types or russellx than patts,then there was'nt as many about then over here,maybe thats why there is such a suscess rate now cause nearly everyone keeps them.IMOP they are no better than any other terrier that works,they all do a job at the end of the day.I keep a couple as do the lads i dig with but we also keep other stuff every bit as good if not better.

It comes across that they all work to a high enough standard to work/keep.

like all doing the job, staying till dug.

My first dog was a Patterdale still the best I've had. Now 20 years later using Russells I like all Terriers,well the one's that WORK !

[snizle06 202]

all depends on a mans standards. ive heard great things about certain terriermen only to be in shock when ive seen how low there standards are. same goes for lurchers. i think alot of lads have never seen a good terrier IMO.
