Been reading a bit of this thread, not all and yes, i remember George's dogs being advertised and sold. To me he was a man who 'tried' for the type (breed) and done what he could to keep them working and alive. I'm sure there are others too...
But two things hit me when i read this thread, firstly imo, if it looks like a Beddy, then it is a Beddy. Same with white dogs, blacks etc...
Secondly, the type as a worker is doomed... Because those that claim to possess it can't see the wood for the trees...
You only have to look at the black dogs. The world is being saturated by them BU
