Most about 70% with tan / tan and white heads and white bodies or just a few spots with the exception of one breeder who had the very rare "hound marked " wire . The fore runners of the heavy saddled Wire we see not . IMO any dog competing in conformation should also be able to do with they are bred for . BTW I also have an 1894 NY dog show paper with the BOB Wire that looks more like a JRT that the Wires in 1923 .Terrier Lady Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394305437465347339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-56874557281280912692018-02-17T22:46:16.886-05:002018-02-17T22:46:16.886-05:00Some day I'd love to see an analysis of the ra...Some day I'd love to see an analysis of the rat terrier (my brother's favorite). Bred for purpose (he uses his to keep rats out of the hay barn, but they are mostly house pets). Seems to me there long history of terriers used for vermin control...but not necessarily for going to ground.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389321571689128858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-47846301005414171042017-02-06T10:10:22.312-05:002017-02-06T10:10:22.312-05:00Not sure where the top picture comes from.

Nor have I ever really understood how my little rat terrier was supposed to have been bred, in part, from those goofy, awkward, long faced Fox Terriers you see around. Now I get it.
