i know some but never dug any.

nice ones btw

didnt have the wired haired ones, only the smooth ones.

some of the dogs came to big, but the bitches were a nice size.

the ones that i seen going were very hard with no reverse gears.

all in all very few worked, or stuck with it.

the ones that did were good.

they are good pics wolfie have seen on some treads on other sites ones from finland sweden and so on.it is ashame that no one keeps lines going over here and other terrier lines for that fact.as soon as kc gets there hands on a breed everyone backs out of them when i think it should be the opposite. it does take a good pool of terriers to bring a breed back to working lines it is just bad to see people quit on dogs that were the bases of the terriers we work today.nothing bad to say about patterdales would just be good to see a variety of working blood and breeds about in todays world.

Had a smooth fox terrier family pet, went bushing and was not a bad wee rabbit ratcher..

 

Used to take it lamping with the air riffle.

 

dont have any good photos of it on my computer. It was KC show stuff and we got it because it was not winning any rossets.
