Her ears are the same MC and she dont give a flying feck about them or much else bar work either. We have a real mixed bag of terriers in our team, from quality digging dogs to strange combo's like my cockerbull but she has an attitude and style like nothing else there and which i've only seen in the same type Russells 30+ years ago.

eastcoast 4,122 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 From Dan Russell's 1948 Working Terriers. There were loads of these types about when I was younger but never thought to photograph them. Pets mostly and the bigger, leggier Russell and Lakeland types were what people were working even then. 5 Quote Link to post
