I have always noticed that the all out aggresive bullying type usually turn out to be shit while the quiet chilled out pups will go on to be good workers,jmo.

I just pick one like and try my very best to get the most out of the dog what ever it is.

Anybody that says they can pick the best worker out of a box of small pups must be god. It's impossible IMO. I had a very nervous submissive bitch one time that was a demon to work her kennel mate was a bully and was half the worker she was.

One thing I swear by is if you've got a youngster in your yard that's being dominated you'll never get the best out of it.

I'm not talking pups in the nest and agree that picking a pup is only down to luck and personal choice.

What would you mean by being dominant in the yard? Can you give an example?

I would never pick a pup out of a litter if it was shy and timid that's for sure.

De biggest 1 i plan on keepin wont let the others near food an [BANNED TEXT] ders food down dey wont even go in to the box with him.. i often hear that the 1s who do all de fighting wit other dogs might not be as good a worker i was wondering if this was just a myth or actually true..

Id have thought if bred right they,d all be grafters,the day when pot luck came into the equation was the day that litter should not have been bred.To many litters are bred now when there is a chance that some of the resultant progeny may not be up to standard,the main reason for that is somewhere in the recent lineage there should have been a cull.

Best to the best might not produce the best its mostly down to luck imo but obviously good blood helps

Luck,the lads that breed with the luck factor in the equation is the main reason the working terrier,all types and breeds,are in the state they are now.
