Surely it would’ve been more of a big deal that he was put over his full sister? I’ve never heard anyone mention anything about a sister of Smithy.

So true, then again depends what Rags your talking about as Ken had more than 1 Rags

DR and Middleton had a ‘Rags’ too, and they all seemed to mix and breed terriers back then, so its a lottery really.

seems like everyone who digs around asking about peds,gets given a different story.....

more than 1 of these super dogs over the yrs,from most.lines came from the local dog pound or acquired from a nobody.......so no cnut really knows?3/4 different men claiming to of bred this dog?that dog?not afraid to sell to who ever had pound notes in their hands

all a big mystery don't think miss f***ing marple could find out the truth

No different than the modern terrier men, you can't get a straight answer out of most of them .

Ah yes, never thought of that. 

 

Begs the question. Why did these top dog men, name several dogs by the same name? Yea I know they bred a lot of dogs over the years, but surely they weren't stuck for names.  Was it simply that they knew the breeding behind their dogs, and weren't  to concerned about the confusion that could be brought about by doing so?

Would those that were in it for the buck, intentionally do so, to cash in on the name of a top dog from their yard?

The line we keep has 3 different dogs in it called Rip  to stop the confusion they get called Rip  1,2 or 3  what a f**k on 

[eastcoast 4,115]

The confusion and ambiguity regarding  pedigrees and dog's names (always dependant on the breeders honesty of course)  was solved  years ago by the Kennel Club. That's why they have such amazing names. Gizagrand Brock and Upyourarse Brock can easily by identified and differentiated from each other  by their KC prefix. Gizagrand Brock I and Gizagrand Brock II likewise.  The only problem is their dogs are shite and we would not really be bothered about who or what bred what. Be careful what you wish for .

Stopped them f***ing up when they had to try and remember what lies they'd already  told

If the breeders were to tell proper names then you would be able to continue your own line with a few pups...cousins àn so on....this way the buyer thinks hes get nearly same thing all time...just a guess
