when you rest the dog and dont work it sore it heals and leaves grey hairs imo.my patt bitches whole head is grey cant upload pics-all my dogs are broken coated-better than smooths for covering marks.also imo.atb mate

i could be wrong-but i never work a dog with a face full of scabs-touch wood no dog has quit on me no matter how tough they have had it-have seen good dogs walk when they worked sore makes them lose heart imho.each to their own everymans different.

the dog in pics is 12 and had his last dig on a call out start of summer-accounted for a vixen and 4 cubs-not my cup of tea before the trolls start but got to keep people happy if you want to keep your permission-the dog in the pics never really got that badly marked as he would always get a good grip and throttle the fuckers-never dug alot out to let run with him as he got the knack and enjoyed the taste of old raynard atb

Agree completely with you on not working a dog sore/giving it healing time before working again, but to have never ever had a dog walk on you you've been very lucky imo!

white hairs can be from wounds or genetic.

someone said something about beddi blood in it and now i ask how many greys you find in all terriers breeds and types?

beddi, scottish, border, cairn for example...

 

i've seen my share of grey ones or with grey hair, if its a working terrier i don't mind colors.
