morton 5,367 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I owned a Cairn terrier as a lad and it ratched about with intention and bolted a fox or two,in reality purpose bred mutts are far superior to these accidental workers.The original terriers of most ancient breeds where far superior to their modern KC cousins,as grafters,the ancestry rarely shines through with the majority of them,thats why people wanting a grafter seek non KC purpose bred mutts.

WHWT 1,862 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Total agree marra. Like I say you get the odd one but if you want terrier go for worker to worker of your choosen working breed. PUD 1 Quote Link to post
