A while back I suggested that the Working Terrier be considered as an "Icon of England," writing in my submission that:
The terrier is the quintessential dog of England; the canine thread that weaves its way through the tapestry of the English countryside. It is galant and brave, equally at home in country or city, castle or allotment, at the end of a Lord's leash or in the hedge bushing out a rabbit for a young boy. This is a no-nonsense dog with the drive to conquer the world (if not quite the physical presence). Every region of England lays claim to one type of terrier or another, each with their own characteristics.
If England has a dog, it is the terrier.
Well, 1,170 other possible icons have been nominated, and the Working Terrier is at the 312 position in the stack. Want to move it up? Click here!
