Kaizer Sozĕ 266 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I have only owned one such terrier IMO & consider it A Priviledge, A Rarity & An Almost Impossibility to Replicate! 4 Quote Link to post

Kaizer Sozĕ 266 Posted October 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) We were discussing "Top class terriers", coming back from a days hunting the other day. It was a fair trip but it seemed to fly by with the conversation in question. But I suppose when you put it down in print it does seem an obvious statement! My own dog in question was a mixed breed, worker to worker. The majority of terriers discussed were Tom O'Reillys line of old, some in more recent times & some mixed worker to workers. Plenty of good dogs spring to mind but I was reminded of an older well respected terrierman saying how rare you come by top class dogs in your lifetime. Maybe its too obvious & broad a statement, was just interested in what others might have to say! Edited October 6, 2016 by Kaizer Sozĕ 2 Quote Link to post
Rat face 1,655 Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 I can honestly say i haven't every one has had a fault in some way or another and that's me been truthful to myself its easy to kid yourself you have good dogs when in fact there just average Good working dogs still but could be improved on to get that perfect working terrier. 3 Quote Link to post

howdeeposxxt 1,448 Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 For me the perfect working terrier is just been there with his quarry when you get down, and do this all through there working life. That will do me. No more no less I don't no what more people expect from them,to class them better than the other terrier that does the same. 7 Quote Link to post
Daniel cain 45,416 Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Put them in ,drop one hole,dig them out,that's all I ask of them-im yet to have one that didn't have some sort of fault-punchy with other dogs or shitting in water bowl etc lol.I can get a few digs in a day to one dog and know if need be they will stay any distance. Puts a smile on my face and makes it worth the feeding. Atb dc 8 Quote Link to post
Dig-deep-draw-charlie 2,713 Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Every terrier I have/had has been a wanker, I am a magnet for them, won't come back to me when of the lead, chewing boxes, shifting behind the gate so when I open it it goes everywhere to name a few problems lol swear they have been put on this earth to test me, not 1 I have thought, I like u! But again they get me out of the house and have a good day doing what I love, 4 Quote Link to post
