Theory's are fine in principle,but only if they carry some substance.How mant terrier lads bother with following hound packs?,a small minority,not everybody sees the need to broadcast their hunting lifestyle,especially in the current political climate.There is a growing number of dedicated breeders of Beddy's that are attempting to bring the breed back from the hands of the KC brigade,as with every terrier breed there is good and bad litters bred,its up to the individual to source the best stock for the job in hand.Ignorance and greed will ruin any breed. 1 Quote Link to post
