half n' half 8 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 any good WORKING strain of patterdale/lakeland/russel type are your best bet if you want a terrier that can do well at the all the tasks of a working terrier.IMHO. Quote Link to post
thurso jack 3 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 you get good and bad in all breeds, a good dog is not a bad colour, find a working strain and thats half the battle, but no guarantee. Quote Link to post
Guest COMPUTER HUNTER Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 doesnt matter what colour it is or what breed of terrier it is i agree some terriers are harder than others ect but i always say its what you show them and how you bring them up some people dont agree with me butt thats my opinion Quote Link to post
BRYKAY 2 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 EXACTLY! WELL SAID COMPUTER HUNTER, I HAVE HAD THE UGLIEST, MOST STRANGLEY BRED DOGS FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS AND THEY WORKED BETTER THAN ANY PATTXLAKIEXBORDERXRUSSELLX LESSER SPOTTED MOUNTAIN FLASH FART I HAVE EVER SEEN!!

gun smoke 0 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 your right mate i have one kc border and another one that i got from an old hunting chap up morpeth only payed 100 pound for her no looker to the kc dog but she is 10 times the worker he is. she is a hard little nut Quote Link to post
higgins 75 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 here's my pup,just bought him last week from a working strain,i have no doubt he will turn into a good worker,he is border/lakeyXNuttall,if you are buying a dog for work make sure it's from a working strain first,then select the type of terrier you want,you won't go far wrong if you do things this way,my pup is seven weeks old,already he is entering an artificial earth i built myself(not deep)and he is ripping my hands to shreds!

bullsmilk 2 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 cracking pup mate you can see the boarder in him Quote Link to post
higgins 75 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 yeah i noticed he looked more Border in his face,but i'm hoping the Lakeland/Nuttall influence will balance it all out,he is a watcher at the minute very observant and listening to everything around him just hope he wants to get going earlier than a Border usually takes to get going!

Guest COMPUTER HUNTER Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 here's my pup,just bought him last week from a working strain,i have no doubt he will turn into a good worker, Other thing if you buy a pup from tested parents,You can't gaurantee the pup will make the grade at earthwork. thats what i say not having a go at higgins but people think if its out of working stuff it will work its not the case i know alot of lads and the best terriers they have had is street corner dogs.
