Good point but that wasn't what I meant. The people who admired the little dog weren't terrier men just folk in a rural area who knew about cattle, sheep and horses ( even donkeys ), but were impressed by a fairly standard stamp of working terrier. When the answer to the question " what type of dog is he ? " was given as a Jack Russell the reaction was that they had not seen a Russell like that before. The ones about that I saw in the area being small toyish types. Not to say that proper sorts don't exist there and I just didn't see them or was not lucky enough to meet their owners. Only spent a week there.

 

I did enjoy the visit. My family left there to look for a better quality of life in England. Times were hard, very hard at the time. Now though ? I think the better quality of life is to found back where we came from. A truely beautiful country inhabited by decent people, things that are being lost as every year passes in the place they migrated to. I will be going back.

 

Thanks for your input Tinytiger.

Go for it K. Our Celtic cousins may not be too happy with the idea of Brits heading over the water again the with intension of settling as we do have bad form regarding this sort of thing ( not just English but the Scots dabbled as well ), however I was met with nothing but friendship and good hospitality. If by chance any Irishman reads this sorry if that sounds patronising, not intended to be and it did feel like going home. And of course that's a cliché as well as patronising :-). Already planning my return visit though.
