Back in the day those Jack Russells on estates were probably a bit of this and a bit of that, especially considering that parents went to work, kids went to school and people's dogs were just let out to form packs and roam the streets until someone returned. Madness to think about now, but happy days at the time. Unless you were a postman. 3 Quote Link to post

I'd bet these mongrel terriers were a lot more useful than todays show bred Russells. Quote Link to post
