I know of people with kc borders that work and kc parsons that work ... so does it matter ? a line bred terrier has a pedigree ... you just don’t buy it from kennel club .

eastcoast 4,115 Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 If any group does try and get a breed called Patterdale recognised then I'm sure that the breed standard would be an example of the pointlessness of it all. You're probably right sid g, the type that they will accept and show will probably be a black or chocolate/liver Parson type. But, I have generally found the "Patterdale" type to be a little heavier than a typical Russell type of the same height. What about the bully sort? They could go down that road and the KC Patterdale could end up a black or chocolate Stafford type with an upper weight limit of say 20lb. Red, grizzle and black and tan I assume would be an disqualifying colour along with white on the chest or toes. There is saying that a camel is a race horse designed by a committee. Once/if a breed standard is decided upon how many work only chaps that happen to already have the "correct" type will get their stock registered? Quote Link to post
chesney 5,443 Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) Be sad day if they go that road they be alot more shite getting bred then for coin. Its probably already on that road genuine lads just breeding for work dont want to admit it. Edited May 16, 2021 by chesney 2 Quote Link to post
eastcoast 4,115 Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 We shall see. Types of working dogs getting KC recognition has never effected anything in the last 140 years or so. Some people make money and breeds become effeminate. The real ones survive but only as long as their purpose survives. 1 Quote Link to post

Gypsydog94 4,561 Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 Look at prices on pet4homes only terriers staying up in price is the pats. Be a shame if they do kc reg them. But will it affect me in my life probably not. Will terriers be legally aloud to be dug to in 20 years? I very much doubt it with the way this country’s going. And boris mrs whispering in his ear Quote Link to post

And boris mrs whispering in his ear That's it right there Gypsydog94. If some lines of some dogs get registered and they close the gene pool it will only effect them. Will have no effect on those who just keep on carrying on. Until carrying on is stopped. Then they are gone. 2 Quote Link to post

A,T,B Rx7 I might aswell say it Your posts on here look very suspicious. All you post about is looking for dogs. I hope I’m wrong and your best interests lie with hunting and dogs . 3 Quote Link to post
