showing terriers

[Ricky-N.p.p 0]

Hi folks

My dad bought a crackin looking russell dog a few months back, the dog had won alot of shows the previous year and was suppose to be a good worker aswell, i like to work the terriers and the old man likes to show them in the summer, as soon as he got this new dog i took him out to test his working ability...we dug two foxs with him so that was fine but a few days later his eye started to turn blue, we got him strait to the vet and now two operations later and a ween of pills it looks like the dog will have to have his eye removed.....will this go against him in the show ring ?

 

its not a big deal to us if it does just wondered ?

 

 

anyone ?

i believe there meant to be "working terrier" shows, so as his apearence is due to work & not some physical defect that hinders him in his job i can't see why it would go against him,no different to a dog who's lacking in the dental department due to his entusiasm for the job.anyone who marks against a terrier for showing sighns of his trade should'nt be judging them in my oppinion...

When I judge it dont make a difference.I show my young dog who is also blind in one eye and he does well.K Coker used to show a good bitch few years back and won a lot of shows with her only had one eye

as was said in the original post, the dog is primarly for working but the old man likes to show them in summer months :thumbs-up:
