Rabbit hunter,Netmaker, Eastcoast,

 

Ye are starting to worry a few lads now, are ye saying that this man is very knowledgeable about the terriers of the North.

That he is in his later years and has lived up where these dogs originated all his life.

That he has hunted, bred and showed working terriers since his youth.

That he is a Barrister so no slouch in the brains department.

 

AND he thinks that the "Patterdale Terrier" name being used for the smooth black dogs is just some men's vanity made up in 1970.

 

JA$U$ lads, that serious. WHAT are we going to call them now?

loads of them are just black jack russels.

[chilli 381]

I was going to say that as well Neil.
