Are we our own worst enemies?

so in the end all you will have is working dogs.no pet terriers from working strains.

what a load of shite talk about making it obvious for them.

anyway its just snobery.my little border lakey of no breeding whatsoever will work week in week out.

you tell him he aint as good worker as some linebreed blackun.

and guess what if joe public wants a pup joe public can have one.

the more terriers about the better as far as im concerned .

 

WTF.Your half breed might be a world beater mate but i wouldnt give you tuppence for any offspring ,no matter what you put it to .One offs are usually just that .If i cannot trace back 3 generations of good ,honest workers then i dont want it .Nothing stopping joe public getting a terrier from non workers ,and theres plenty about , as long as its not used to further dilute the blood of honest lines .If you stick at the digging mate and want honest workers you can rely on ,you will realize the truth of what im saying OR you will always be a messer , hoping for a worker from this and that mating .

"Its alright saying get a pup out of working stock but most lads who breed their dogs for graft arent going to give a young lad one of theier pups then the only people the lad can approach is the bloke who is breeding so called working dogs for big bucks or go to the classified ads for a cheaper alternative.

when i was a lot younger everyone in my area had russells,some were used for graft and some were just pets but the grafters done what was asked of them so maybe sometimes its worth that chance."

The answer to this mate is that you have to go out with the lads that are doing it weekend afer weekend and earn yourself the right to own a decent terrier .Most lads will eagerly give a youngster a pup once they have shown they are up for the job and reliable .
