Information on working terriers, dogs, natural history, hunting, and the environment, with occasional political commentary as I see fit. This web log is associated with the Terrierman.com web site.
Working like a dog: it's been over a century since most kinds of working dogs worked and yet the reputation stays. :) The willingness with which the dogs work is good to see. Interesting too, to see the kind of dogs in the image -- mostly along the lines of hound - light mastiff rather than a specific 'type' that we've been assured is so crucial to function. Big enough (or small enough as I'm sure you'll remind me), strong enough and willing to work and that suffices.
