Working Welsh Terriers

[SurreyRabbitCatcher 19]

I've recently imported a working Welsh terrier from the continent and will be starting her this season. Both parents were out and out earthdogs and her breeder a diehard digging man. My question is, is there anyone still working any welshys in the UK? Has anyone heard of any old working lines still existing over here? Are even heard of anyone giving one a chance here?

There was an old member from Scotland had a pair for earth work..think it was mole something... remember I sent him up some old terrier locator collars

think its like many terrier breeds possibly could but mostly dont, the way i think is if they were any good we would all keep them.
