RussBoy 77 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Was reading an article from years ago about hunting both fox and badger with terriers. It mentioned alot about bolting and digging but never once mentioned what types or breeds were best for each particular quarry. I am a lurcherman myself not having had much experience with terriers. Just wondered what breeds were best used back then before badger digging ban etc? Quote Link to post

BIG G wheton machine 1,594 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 depends on how long you go back. there was def a better use of russells with borders, fell types, welsh, sealeyhams, bedlingtons, Manchester, westys, scotch, cairn, types weren't really fussed about as long as they worked as a 1st priority Quote Link to post

jeemes 4,483 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 If you go far enough back they were not classified into breeds as such but just evolved to suit local terrain etc.I think as long has a dog worked it was used and bred to another but inbreeding would of fixed type to an extent. People didnt travel far from home in those days so things were kept tight. A diffrent strain in every district. 1 Quote Link to post
