Smooth, Broken Or Wirey?

[man o kent 269]

Wondered if you terriermen had a preference of coat type for a working tyke? I know that ability and heart is more important than appearance, but their must be advantages to different coats

As you said ability and heart are what matters but i saw a young black dog during the week which my friend bred out of some very good dogs and he is the smoothest animal ive seen by far. Smooth to the point he could almost look bald depending on the angle your veiwing him from. I definatly rekon this dog would suffer if he spent a long time in a very wet earth or a cold wet drain. Coat type never even came into my thoughts untill i saw this dog.

I always like a dog with a broken or wiry coat hides a multitude of sins

Double coated for me, if you have more than one dog then your dog can spend an awful long time staked out above ground in harsh weather, nowt worse than the sight of a poor dog shivering on the chain

A good coat....whether its smooth or broken I haven't a preference, as long it has a good head & can win shows I'm not bothered

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm
