Hello mate,

 

Are there many people working terriers in Oz? Are there suitable breeders of workers in Australia or do people import there dogs?

 

Cheers

Simoman

Rocking horse shit is in abundance compared to the number of patterdales down here. There are a few imports here which were originated in the UK Goulds, Nuttals and a few other unkown lines. However the number of dogs is very low compared to the number of active fox hunters here. Fox hunting is very popular down here. Most commonly they are spotlit (lamped) & shot. Fox drives using packs of hounds of all breeds is popular in rural areas. Hunting with staghounds (lurchers) and digging with terriers is popular in many areas. Our digging terriers are usually JR's and miniature fox terriers with a thin spinkling of borders, lakies, fells and pattererdales.

 

I thought we had some pretty handy JRT's down here until I saw Patterdales working foxes . Needless to say, most JRT's have been retired from digging by the blokes with Patts. Sadly, its almost impossible to find a "fair dinkum" line of working JR's in Australia. They have fallen into the hands of the show people and the pet industry.
