    working cocker or English show cocker.........they are worlds apart.
    I like my terriers and the cockers actually remind me of hunting with them, my bitch is happy to take on stoats and rats, possums I don't bother with, the kill them all drive of the terrier is what I like about the other breed I own.

    The JR can exhibit a bad attitude, ankle biting and growling as it resists commands.

    The right care and training would sort it though

    The JR always seems matronly and grumpy due to short dog syndrome

    well i think 36kg is on the small size. and yes it chewed its way into the frame of my alloy mountain bike. it also managed t take chunks out of one of those black "kong" toys in under an hour. thankfully the pet shop refunded us.
    and tussock, the wife refers to it as the worlds cuddliest brick. but a warning to anyone who gets a dogo cross, they molt every day of the year and i'm sure the fur is 90% velcro because it sticks to anything. unfortunately dogo's are on the "bad list" because arseholes out there use them for fighting. but they are great dogs and veyr affectionate

    20 years ago my wife was employed as a "kennel maid" for a lady who bred both Jack Russells and Boarder Terriers. She had about 10 of each
    Both were affectionate breeds but I have never seen more "blood thirsty" dogs when it comes to game.
    Breeder brought them all out from UK when she moved back here, god only knows what that would have cost

    Personally I would get a foxie for a small dog (the proper one, long legs and nose type) over a JR

    I would like to try one from a "working breeder" assuming you would be happy to do that and not mind it being used on deer too
    I'll give you a pup, but if it turns out 12 inches tall, tri colour and loves ratting don't say I didn't warn ya!

    My old man has decided to breed him, which I am hoping to talk him out of.
    If he is of unknown parentage, how do you know he is your brother?

    I would add 8 is a tad young for breeding your brother?

    However, I think you two have just misread my post.

    I know it's not a recognized breed but I have a border springer. Brother in law's short haired collie over his Springer spaniel bitch, his duck dog.
    So far he's a bute dog awesome temperament not too hypo. Looooves water and retrieving, will do it all day. So far is looking real promising on deer winding well and good on ground scenting. As a plus he works the sheep on the old mans block Name:  IMAG1028.jpg

    I have a English bulldog, looks tough, but is scared of plastic bags and anything that moves or is different to normal.
    Keeps the sales people away from my front door, can swim just not very far and he sinks if looses momentum (I've had to dive in)

    I'm picking up a gsp pup soon as a hunting do so hopefully they get on.

    My hairy dog 'Harry dog'. Mad keen on everything.
    Irish Terrier.
    She's two years old now and the Mrs has said I can hunt her properly on pigs. She's a mean little worker, plenty of bite and bails very well.
