Terrier

[J.DOG 1,355]

What breed of terrier lives better around lurchers and small children ( non working dogs )

A yorkie called Trixie, with pretty pink ribbons and a scented nappy for catching its wee wee dribbles...

I asked a simple question I am concerned because I know some terriers can be nippy that's all

well ive got a 9 month old jrt is a mint house dog mint with my 2 year old daughter and lives mint my lurcher she does a few rats aswell mick

[Simoman 110]

Trixie is NOT nippy!!! My serious reply would be why do you want a terrier, are the lurchers working dogs and are they living together in the house, lurchers and terriers are hard work unless you are intending to graft a terrier i would suggest it isnt worth the hassle....

[J.DOG 1,355]

Thanks I do like jrt had one in the past but sadly got lost I will consider that mate

there are fair price (2-400£) but if you just want a pet, and have good luck around, you could get one alot less. My dog was given to me by a old keeper, you never know you might drop lucky

[J.DOG 1,355]

Fair price I might look into that mate thanks

My old Border is 13 and has lived with all our kids - we had a new baby girl 7 months ago and he's great with her. I had his mum and dad and his grandfather and grandmother. All great with our kids, oldest is 18 and as I say youngest is 7 months. However, I'd never ever trust a dog 100% - we've always been careful as the kids can sometimes be rough with them. Having said that - I have had lurchers in the past that would have - and did - killed terriers in a minute. Borders are good with kids - but it's what you know - I'm sure folk'll have great things to say about patts, russells, fells etc??? Good luck.
