Hannah4181 260 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I only posted on here because my JRT has the turned in leg thing going on, i've never known if he was just poorly bred or a certain strain of terrier?? Someone once mentioned queen anne type to me, again i'm unsure as to wether this was a critisism?! Regardless he's a great little dog and will work rats and rabbits well. Quote Link to post

aaron01 737 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 lovley terrier my type as well very hard to get digging lines of this type anymore such a shame Quote Link to post
Hannah4181 260 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 He's 6 now, i've never used him for digging. He has self entered a couple of times however i only knew about it when he came home 4 hours later without any white showing at all!! I'm glad he doesn't do it a lot though as i'd never be able to walk him off lead. The farm land we live in has tons of big sets/burrows. Quote Link to post
