Hard enough keep the working lines going. 4 Quote Link to post

A cheeky request, and the answer will probably be F O and not Foreign Office but...any picture of one of these dogs? Cheeky request but it is an internet forum that you have commented on so not that such an unexpected request? Quote Link to post

Aussie Whip 4,092 Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 I just think if show dog people(and they aren't dog men imo) can ruin a good breed within a few gens why couldn't people dedicated to dogs and working them, bring back these working abilities?I'm too old to try but if I was young I'd try with the cairn terrier as I was surprised how much worker was left in my one. 1 Quote Link to post
