After that, everything is going down hill work wise... Those that breed them will say it's to strengthen snipey heads, or give them more fire, BUT you can improve all that, and retain working ability by using the right line of terrier. All that said, if anyone is thinking of breeding such a cross, let me know, as I'll be after a new ratter soon, and I want one that's scared of the dark... The only thing I think boys use them for is because there line is starting to lack fire and instead of looking for something they'll settle for the bull dog route Quote Link to post

AC did it ( some say ) and look at his legacy 2 Quote Link to post
Halfhound 35 Posted Thursday at 19:53 Report Share Posted Thursday at 19:53 (edited) A nice little staff type head is lovely to see on a patterdale pup at a show in the summer.

Daniel cain 48,418 Posted Thursday at 23:28 Report Share Posted Thursday at 23:28 Them big bull headed dogs was all the rage 10 years back,a friend came over from Germany to collect a dog ,that I travelled up north to collect,from a yard in fairness,that had some well worked dogs,talked the talk,a little too open for me personally,but ,hay ho... I jabbed,past ported it etc until he collected..I later found out he paid £2000 for an untested dog it made his dogs look pretty and strong..but didn't add anything else....them type of dogs look good on something that's green...when they meet something that knows the craic...they will walk,when it don't go their way..they don't make a decent plug...I've never seen one,I'd own,get more done with a steady mixer type 1 Quote Link to post
Wheaten Bull Terrier 79 Posted Friday at 16:19 Report Share Posted Friday at 16:19 My Wheaten Bull Terrier is about 80lbs. Too big to go to ground, too heavy to catch anything above ground, so I keep him as a guard dog. 2 Quote Link to post

I really don't want to sound derogatory, but judging by those photos, that dog could strip a fair bit of weight... Quote Link to post
