just my opinion,the Tommy Dobson chocolate throwbacks would most likely of been bred out by now, given the time

lapse of when TD bred his terriers to this day,eventually a strain or line will become weakened if no new blood is added,i personally think that various breeders who carried on these lines were not fazed by 'sports' such as chocolates or whites no matter

how interesting they were,they just got on with the job of being consistent with breeding standard colours that reflected what was in use at the time,since litters were largely standard colours and worked well,maybe a lack of genetic understanding also prevented perpetuating the 'odd colours',after all your talking nearly a hundred years ago,

some bloodlines in modern creations can lose important attributes after a few generations unless reinforced,jmo.atb,
