Those are different strains of the same type (terrier)- the reason they look different from one another is historically they were geographically isolated. Showing would be the only reason to keep a "breed" pure. "Breeds" were developed in the victorian era for dog shows. "Types" were developed by breeding the dogs best suited to their work to one another to get more workers
Good post.
Another problem with expensive dogs is they are less likely to be culled if they don't work out. Instead they get sold or bred because the owner wants to recoup their investment rather than be out the money. Fact: Money and working dogs don't mix!
My experience has been that a started dog/bitch will maintain working drive if altered, but if they are neutered/spayed before they "turn-on", altering can have a negative affect on their working drive.
what does he pull out of the tyre mate??
That was an opossum. Probably north americas least exciting furbearer LOL but they are considered a pest by livestock owners because they carry a bacteria that can be lethal to cattle and horses. that bitch was more of a coon specialist, but took out A LOT of 'possums in her day. Really the only interesting thing about 'possums is that they are north americas only marsupial.
Lmao @ 2 hrs on a mill!!! And what could possibly be wrong with getting a dog in the best shape possible before putting them in a physically challenging situation. Lazy people don't own mills, lazy people think a walk around the block means "fighting fit". Most people who own mills have a lot invested and take their dogs seriously.
I think a chihuaua X JRT cross sounds retarded, but how can you knock it really when it outperforms JRT (at catching rabbits )!? I wonder what quality the chihuaua X posses that the JRT lacks? speed LOL? drive???
let's see a pic of this rabbinator
I use the Duke coilsprings for coons here in Kansas too. I also cleaned the dog/trigger up with a file. I've even stair-step the trigger on the pan for two settings
A bit of flirtpole, spring pole, handwalking/roadwork will improve a terrier's performance in the field greatly. I feel it's is the owner's obligation to condition a dog for any kind of work- other wise it's doing a disservice to the dog.
