[Clancy 1]

i wouldnt have anything else than a lakie unless i was short on terriers like i am just now there good strong earth dogs usaully with desent heads on them somtimes they can hav a mind of there own but any one i have owned always gave me a 110% and never let me down as long as they are from working parents and get the right schooling then they wil;l be fine

Not in my experience i think most lads would be happy with 50%-% making the grade out of good parents and good lines but then everyones standards different,100% working litters are few and far between.

It was the bit about being from working lines and reared well then they should be fine but thats not always the case no matter how carefully theyre bred and reared you can still get duffers.Nothing wrong with sounders.
