White Patterdale

[BGD 6,436]

I would think the bitch has been having a bit on the side..........the slut.

Seriously though, I know of two lines of black terriers that can produce white one. One line has Russell way back in it and the other has Sealyham way back in it.

To say it comes from staffs IMO could be wrong as then the odd brindle or buckskin would crop up then, but I could be wrong.

It's a throw back either way and if it's from good working parents then so what, best of luck with it.

 

You make a good point I've never really thought of before, with all the bull blood floating around in the terrier genepool it seems odd you don't get the odd buckskin or brindle terrier popping up

Bullcross13 you love the white dogs. Hope this doesn't happen with your bitch

[samba 534]

my mate had one 16yrs back middleton stuff :thumbs:was a great dog

[neil cooney 10,416]

Samba, did your friend have a white one off two BLACK Middleton terriers ????

If he did, the plot thickens.

Did he win any JRT classes at any shows ?

 

Pablo, do you smoke or take the same stuff as Stop End ??

Great great isn't that far back mate could be a lot further back than that you'll never know good luck with em

Those throwbacks can cause a breeder and seller of 'line bred' stuff all sorts of problems. White out of all black or black an tan, reds or buckskins out of blacks or vice versa. It really dont matter how long you've kept em, or how hard you've kept em pure and tight, by its very nature, the working terrier goes back too far and all colours are in the mix somewhere...It just takes a certain two to bring it out but to anyone who breeds for the coin, far better a white than a brindle but to the rest of us, far better a worker than a looker eh....

 

On the subject of brindles was it Ralph Hodgson holding one such dog in Fell Terrier...?

[Flacko 1,755]

Worker to worker colour means nothing keep it yourself and see how it comes on.

[samba 534]

[Hareydave 1,214]

I don't mean to scaremunger you but experienced this before and white throw back pup out of two black dogs,there's a possibility it could be deaf due to gene?

I think it was Barrie who posted some white terriers bred by R.westmoorland out of to coloured breay bred terriers,a friend of mine had a black and white out of two Nuttall bred terriers he rated it highly as a worker and isn't that what it's all about?
