Preferences Or Differences

the difference between Mr Nuttalls line and Mr Stevens Family, the one has been in decline for 35 years due to the breeders ego and love of coin , and the other family has been in decline for about a decade because of the egos and love of coin of other

Very cincal Glyn but sadly true .There are those that have the real deal but all too often as soon as it gets away from them its on a downward spiral .This to me is the sole reason why in some areas the terrier game is so clicky and for good reason too .I cannot for the life of me understand why a lad would get hold of a line bred terrier then when its done a bit ,put it over a mongrel of unknown breeding just because it works .The pups look similar to x and are passed off as such .

As a newbie to terrier work but not the working dog world what would the best advice be on getting a well bred terrier what avenues to explore coz it sure ain't like purchasing a lurcher or sheepdog

keep your eyes on the classifieds on here.i wouldnt be bothered about lines so much as long as the parents are workers.ive never bought an adult terrier

Lee when looking for a decent pup I wouldn't go to much into lines I would find out about the person that's breeding the pup.

[foxbolter 447]

Do you know what type of terrier your looking for lee and breed im being serious this time

[leethedog 3,071]

I do mate I have a male Russell and a male patterdale pup from a questionable breeding so it would have to be female to lesson the chance of rucks as mine live in house another patterdale I have my name on a pup that isn't born yet so fingers crossed I ask questions on here as I'm a newbie and need information and some of it is worth having and some isn't I read between the lines and make my own mind up oh yeah forgot to say the russell is castreted

[Squirrel_Basher 17,100]

IMO I would say to anyone who dosnt have the foresight,long term plan ,to stay away from lines as enough have been bastardised by those with only the here and now in mind .Buy a worker ,hopefully it will work then get it neutered .

Source the genuine blokes,they will have the genuine dogs,and if they don't they wont try and pass them off as such

[snizle06 202]

If you want a dog for earth work Get a dog or pup from a proven line. This talk of worker to worker scatter bred is a load of shite and you will only be disappointed. Sure there will be the odd good one but so many bred that way there is bound to be.
