the ultimate all-rounder terrier

[Mallard123 1]

hi,

just curios to know what people thought was the the ultimate all-rounder terrier?

[Elmer Fudd 2011 39]

ask that on here and the tw*ts will say STAFFY OR PIT BULL cross with what ever ther mate as on his back yard cause they wouldnt no what a working terrier is at all

[Rabbiting man 1,192]

Any working terrier can be a alrounder if the time was put in and the breeding was right in the first place

[Stabs 3]

I wouldn't even dream of stating what is or isn't the best all round terrier, but I can say that the best all round dog that I have had was a terrier and she was 3/4 Staffordshire Bull Terrier 1/4 Patterdale. If that makes me a twat then so be it.

 

As a pest controller she was a god-send to me and she tried her hand at pretty much everything. I used to use her with the air rifles and shotgun; she would find and kill foxes on top for fun; she would work tirelessly retrieving geese and ducks for me; I used to lamp the becks with her and she'd keep me in ducks; and you could dig to her, even though at 24lb she had limitations as to where she could be used. I can state categorically though that she was useless at the ratting game.

I would say a border or jack Russell but as you can see from the pics above if you put the time and training in most breeds can be allrounders

home, kids, show, work - rats, bushing, ground, rabbit, fox - dig (bay/hold) or bolt - what does all round mean?

[dev 227]

What is expected off an all rounder?? Kill rats? Bush rabbit, and dig foxes?

Then any good digging dog will make an all rounder, but a bushing/ratting terrier won't.

I agree with Dev's post. A proper 'digging' dog should be able to deal with everything you throw at him, I wouldn't want a terrier to be a bushing dog, because the chances are as soon as they get there noses down or come across an earth they'll be in.

DEV thats a sweeping statement theres a pal of mine over there who has a little cross bitch she started out as a bushing terrier who would pick up as well since he took her over there she's turned into a handy marker /digging bitch terrier's are not robots some will some wont it not set in stone , some dont ever see anything but a pen then terrier box then people expect them to enter , some will some wont but if given the chance to work lesser qarry they might have taken to ground work at a later stage how many terriers have been binned due to not been given a fair chance , who's to blame the terrier or the owner
