I thought that be the equivalent of a sighthound not chasing on sight It is whatever floats your boat - some men like them to sound when work, some like them mute. Personally, a terrier to sound and then go mute as your getting close is my ideal terrier. But again, everyone has their own preferences... the same as they do with lurchers. Quote Link to post

I know mate you said plenty a mute terriers about so in your opinion a mute terrier over a whippet would give you a runner that didnt yap ? Id say chances are most half bred terrier running dogs open up alot disappear in bryers hedgerows etc from what I seen Quote Link to post

chartpolski 23,750 Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Wasn't the Bedlington once known as "the mute Terrier" ? Not because it couldn't bark, but because when entered, it would go straight on the attack, not sit back and speak. Cheers. 5 Quote Link to post
