Which terrier breed??

[Gkeeper111 22]

Ahoy all,

 

Am looking to get a terrier for mainly fox work- am keen for a rough coated type bitch. Have pondered over Lakelands but am worried that it will be abit too big for the earths I have on the place as many are just rabbit warrens. We don't have any nice straw stacks on the shoot either. I've heard good things about Lakeland cross borders but haven't ever seen any in action. My current terrier man uses a Patterdale bitch which works well and is small enough but is smooth coated, admittedly one could say why does coat matter but it's just a matter of personal preference. What are people's experiences and thoughts on this subject? Any help appreciated.

Many thanks

Get a decent Russell mate out of decent lines u won't have to look anywhere else

Get a half decent Pat and it will be far superior.

[johnrussell84 2,881]

Gotta disagree mate but each to there own pending what he's wanting to use it for above and below or just below

[tillearthdouspart 100]

A I'm just keeping the banter going it's all down to personal choice. But for obvious reasons his better of with the Pat at the end of the day it's a winner by a mile even with two legs and no head it would have thr advantage.

Joke .

 

[johnrussell84 2,881]

Lol most don't need heads cos they're brainless lol

[tillearthdouspart 100]

And possible legless ha.. A no we all differ like I said in here before for pure staying ground work I personally favor the Pat but for bushing and bolting the Russell goes along way

[johnrussell84 2,881]

Yeh mate suppose we ve had a cpl of Russell's stay for days like everything else these days it's getting the right lines an bein lucky enuf to own them too much peddling Goes on in every breed now a days

It's out if our hands all we can do is make sure what's in our yards are workers and pups parents have been well tested workers and expect a high standard from our little friends and not to brake that chain. But money is a powerfull thing it feeds greed.
