Their rare as rocking horse shite nowadays, when I was a kid every old woman had a yappy black and tan football with legs that would bite given a chance. As kids we took my mates nans one out for a bit of bushing and it picked it up real quick and was the fastest thing i've ever seen for her size, she'd let you in the house but just try getting out (it ate someones weed when his nan was on holiday and slept for a couple of days too ). A mate of mine knows someone who's been after a stud off one for a while now with no joy finding one.

i would say he has a lot in him ( heeler not sausage dog)

 

and yes you used to see them a lot.............but not anymore.

main reason you dont see them is because most of them are show-dogs and they were bred to mind cattle not as ratters

working in the same way as the corgi used to. bigger and better dogs came along such as australian cattledogs and replaced them.

A long time ago was chatting to an old boy who reckoned the best terrier types he had were corgi x jack russels.
