I'm not sure if it was the Parsons or the JRT but one of them in the group at Crufts this year was a cracking little dog, so maybe so far the KC ones are still true to type

Tee hee - CC and I were discussing that Zena Thorn-Andrews judged JRTs at Crufts this year, I said my first thought when I saw that was ‘OMG is she STILL around’ ?
I’ll toddle off to look at terrier group pics ??

That’s interesting.... the JRT was 3rd in group....
But actually I prefer the Parsons! And I don’t usually like long legged ones ?

We were at Crufts this year under ZTA. Sprout came third in her class which we were super pleased with. Some lovely dogs there.

I'm a fan of the leggier terriers myself. Years ago I had wire fox that the breeder had bought back from an inappropriate home. She was 5 and a finished champion when she came to me. She was a proper terrier though. She would kill rodents, go to ground after ground hogs, all that good stuff.
It is interesting that the working breed people in the UK feel the way about the KC that most working dog people feel towards AKC. The working border collie people will deregister dogs if one in the pedigree earns any sort of "beauty" championship. About 15 years ago one of those beauty champions won a huge herding championship trial. The working bc people claimed it was possible because the breeder had dogs that had originally been registered with them and not the New Zealand/Australia show dogs.

ZTA’s late husband, Terry Thorn, always used to put my mum up when he judged her breed because he knew who she was ???
I’ve stalked your website lol, Sprout has the most adorable little face ???

I love both of those dogs but I particularly like the Parson Russell

Yes rather a lot of that goes on! Thankfully nobody really knows me so if we win any classes I know it's for the right reasons! Ah my little Sproutie is just so beautiful. Soppiest thing ever!

She gave the schiplet a very generous critique for a win in a stakes class at an open show, 20+ dogs present, then placed him last at Crufts. ?

Do you know the name of the bc that won the herding championship? I have never heard of a "barbie" collie (as I think you call them over there) winning any herding trials.

I usually prefer PRT to JRT but I really really liked the JRT at Crufts this year.

My hairdresser has two pet trained labs that she paid a lot of money for. (BC). TBH it makes sense for her, she is well off and they got a dog that sits, stays, comes, doesn'tr widdle or chew and is well socialised. I think it is an excellent idea and if only more people would think it through.
As for the price even pet trained takes work every day, add that to cost of pup, vets, at least 12 months food and keep...

Just been on pre loved and can't believe the prices of the pups, but read the and for the 7 year old dog that's looking to be rehomed as it does not get on well with their small child. It's broke me heart ? but cannot do anything to help as too many commitments. It sounds like owner is desperate to re-home but will p t s if she can't re-home. It will play on my mind now so have stopped looking.

and from Wales I think. The puppy farms here are suspiciously quiet. I stopped at one the other day where I can see into their yard from the road and it is always full of dogs and pups. There is not one dog there.

I was considering a pup - small to medium size - for my next dog but after looking at what is available and the prices! That's not going to happen anytime soon My OH asked what I wanted for my birthday and I told him a chi pup, went on about wanting a dog I could take anywhere (in a handbag ) and forgot to tell him I was joking...he came back a couple of days later after much internet research to show me 2 different pups, 1 at £1500, 2nd at £2500. I might have been tempted for about 5 seconds but neither looked responsibly bred to say the least and tbh, the £1500 one looked deformed! I do keep looking at the pups already being offloaded but there is no way I'm paying the kind of money being asked so will have to wait until they start turning up in rescue in a month or two...
If anyone hears of a JRT/terrier type in the Essex area that can live with a cat, please do give me a shout
In the meantime, I'll stick with Rotten Reggie the deaf foster rotter - he's lovely but OMG bloody hard work!

I would want it plated in Platinum for that price, the ad is not exactly 'selling' her either.

Don't forget you could get 10kg free as well which I'm sure when you are paying £10,000 that would really help financially

[QUOTE="And this is a new one on me: Pet trained ESS £4,500 ?[/QUOTE]
The person(s) who sells the 'pet trained' dogs has been doing this for a long while on preloved. I think they must be somewhere near me because their adverts are always top of my list if I ever venture onto there. I'm not sure if they ever sell any dogs though, or if the adverts are in fact a con. I guess what they're trying to sell is what the majority of people buying want; a fully trained pet dog. They're tapping into a market where people can't be arsed to train the dog themselves.
