Simoman 110 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 IMO a "working terrier" is a dog that is dug to on a regular basis and a "sporting terrier" is the sort used for rats and rabbits etc........................... Quote Link to post
Guest manda Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Fair enough, so most people on here have sporting terriers as we all keyboard hunters Quote Link to post

Lancer, think about it.... terriers owe their existence to earthwork, that is why we have terriers... for digging out sub-teranian quarry, they wernt bred small and game to kill fecking rats were they? Therefore, a proper working terrier is one that follows its INTENDED vocation. Quote Link to post
diggerman 0 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 You can understand why so much crap is bred, when people are breeding off dogs that they class as workers, that should be called sporting terriers. Ratting/rabbiting terriers are sporting terriers "workers" are dogs that are dug too, that find in any type and size of earth, stay with the game and dont jibb. Quote Link to post

I have no working terriers. I have pups that have the potential to become workers in another couple of seasons or three. I have only just returned to the sport after a long lay off from them. I have owned and worked quite a few dogs that could be classed as workers, and I've also owned a few that havent made the grade that I didnt class as workers. Do you have any workers, because from the posts I've read from you I would say you have'nt got a clue. Quote Link to post
lancer 13 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 just the one terrier at the moment. Quote Link to post

If I had a terrier that did all those things I would be gutted. I hate it when you here of people using dogs on rabbits and foxes. If you want a fox dog, dont let it near rabbits. Quote Link to post
