gnasher16 30,046 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 The old boy has a neighbor with a scatty little Staff sort that terrorises the local dogs apparently......while a sharp word in the shell of the owner will probably suffice its not really a battle i want to get involved in......so what with the old boys age a dog small and light enough to pick up and carry if needs be is going to suit better.....Westies are too hairy,Lurcher/Whippet/Greyhound too big........he,s pretty much decided on a nice little smooth coated Jack Russell.....thanks for the ideas anyway ....just a case of finding one now. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neems 2,406 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 You'll always find good examples of some breeds like westies etc but the average ones are shit. I've got a mini bull terrier that bushes to the lurcher and I've never had a dog as obedient,no health problems etc but I wouldn't recommend one to a working home.
