lol i like pats too. they also use them for fox and other "vermin" so dont let their size fool ya!
as much as i hate to say it, i like the Jagdterrier and Plummer.... seems a lot of controversy surrounds the plummer and i cant get a straight answer as to why except the man who founded the breed was a school teacher.... when i did ask why, out in the open the thread was shut down before anyone could answer me. so um.. yeah lol
also, here's a site about the terriers still used for hunting and ground work today.
warning though, at the bottom are some pics of the terriers with the quarry, not to mention some are rather roughed up from doing their jobs. so if you dont like the looks of a working terrier in working condition then you'd be best not to click on it.
back OT though. Beddies have always been on my list of dogs i would love to own some day. they're just awesome to look at and watch work, not to mention their history.
but i'm noticing that they have the same problem that pit bulls and amstaffs have.... there is a bench dog and a field dog. one has strict breeding and bloodlines and the other is bred worker to worker with the occasional outcross.
outcrosses dont bother me in the slightest because i am only interested in the function of the dog.
Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.
