I can't think of any, the only thing I've got now which I didn't have before is wet sores. NS stuff always had them, I'd never even heard of them until I went to his yard. If you breed tight to a family you'll get all the successful bits but you'll get the bad things to.

I've tried all sorts of foods, remedies and old wives tales. I've been to vets and tried antibiotics and all manner of creams to but mostly they go as fast as they come and for example the old bitch Treacle might get one a year the size of your thumb nail.

Temperament is good and the work is there.

They'll all chill out all day with each other without incident, what's not to like.

Up until the last 30 odd years terriers were bred mostly worker to worker fit for purpose came with this type of breeding ,since then a lot of breeding as gone on with terriers that look fit for purpose hence the reason why terriers are so hit and miss ,breeding from work is everythingfor myself looks and colour ??? have never done a days graft to my knowledge jmo

[dillydog 8,463]

I don't know about other lines I don't keep them, Nicks yard was like this one, full of terriers all day. I wouldn't go out and leave them alone, I don't pay attention to them all day but I'm not stupid either.

The terriers I used to have would fight for the sake of it but they were the older part of his blood. Everything here is where Nick was when I last saw him or as close as humanly possible. I'd sooner have the older stuff to work but lifes a lot easier with this lot.

Why I'd sooner have the older stuff ? It's a personal thing, I get results with these the same as the old dogs but these have more brains and a steadier temperament.

Why wouldn't you breed worker to worker (best to best) from within a line ? English hounds have been bred like this and race horses for hundreds of years.

 

The colour and stamp starts to set itself because your doubling up on common traits.
