A good dog to me is a good dog regardless of it's breed and I always like to see a good dog work but likes been said quarry and location play a big part Morton and you could always say about the standard they actually work at that May suit some but not others we all have different views as you know Edited May 1, 2020 by Blackmag Quote Link to post

Aussie Whip 2,934 Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 I think you could bring back a lot of terrier breeds within 5 or 6 generations to be decent workers if you were dedicated to doing that,even from show stuff. 1 1 Quote Link to post

Serious,I had Aust silky terriers when I was young,a dog never ever bred for much except looks.The first dogs were barely interested in a mouse hole but I persisted and they eventually became good ratters.By the fourth gen the dogs were great ratters and used them for bushing and they would flush foxes from dens.I really think you could resurrect some of the old working breeds the show people have ruined.Later I had a cairn terrier off show dogs that itself did similar work with little encouragement,not to patterdale standards but who knows after 5 or more generations.I've noticed pups from non working line whippets seem to know the rabbit game a lot better after 1 generation working. 2 Quote Link to post
