After a terrier

[THE88MAN]

i was told when i resued my dog that a x-breed will have les problems with health and lve longer than a pedigree, which was more or less confirmed with that program martin clunes did.

this really does seem to be true in many cases,its put me off buying a kc registered pedigree in the future thats for sure

If you want a good working terrier with plenty of character try a Patterdale. Hard as nails! Work horses.

 

Google Brian Nuttal or John Parkes in North Yorks. or the legendary Cyril Bray.

 

If your after a good working border try Lisa Jenkins of Bristol. I got a good Border from her many years ago and I've had a dog from the John Parkes strain, highly recommended!

Dogs are cool.

 

We have 3.

 

A Rottwieller, a long hair Chihuahua, and a Papillion.

 

My wife just got the "pappy" last year. Cute, but odd little dog. Very athletic. Can almost jump straight up in the air while playing. High pitch bark. The closest to terrier we had before was the miniature Schnauzer. Smart little "house-wise" dog. Tended to learn the rules and protocol of the home very well.

thats pip,she's 8 months now and as i say she's got hip and knee problems so the missus has claimed her.my father had one and when he shot ducks it would fetch them out of the river (more a job for a lab!) they're hard as nails and soft as s**t at the same time.i thought about just getting a cheap terrier cross or even a jack as i too have rats in the firewood yard:scared1:

 

Until I read this post I thought duck retreival by terrier was just a fluke. I had a little female Jack that was the best field hunting dog I ever had. (Ok, the only one ) But she would retreive big mallard off the water, up a steep embankment like it was no trouble at all. Looked pretty comical as the duck was about the same size she was. But she loved it and had no quit.

 

Got these two Jacks now, full brother and sister. They are real cute in the picture, now that they are full grown, they are excellent examples of the huge variance within the breed. Both great dogs but totally different personalities.

 

These are some of the longer-legged, foxlike terriers, incredibly quick! They regularly chase and capture birds in the back garden. Even our cat couldn't do that. Though they both have strong terrier "never quit" attitudes, the female is unretreivable when on a scent. She will NOT stop.

 

Great dogs. Good luck with your search.
