Photo 8 - BORDER TERRIER
Ch. Not so Dusty
Property of Mr. J. Johnson
(In "The Book of the Dog". Edited by Brian Vesey - Fitzgerald, London, 1948)
The BORDER TERRIER has its origin on either side of the Cheviot Hills which form the
Border country, and may be regarded as one of the oldest kinds of terriers in Great
Britain (XVII century) , possible brought by Anglo-saxons, including Celts. It's necessary
to know something about the nature of the work that these terriers have to do. Being bred
for bolting foxes instead of killing them, they have not the long jaw of most terriers.
They need to be little hunters so as to be able to follow a horse all day, doing any thing
to 20-25 miles of rough going. They are desperatilly keen and fear nothing. The calling of
these terriers is precarious, for many of them have gone to their death amid tumbled rocks
or in deep moss holes. From one hole alone in Cheviot, nearly a dozen have never returned.

Photo 10 – JACK RUSSELL TERRIER
Photo 11 - In oil painting Francis Barraud showed a Fox Terrier, latter called "His

Worker and champion: Greg Mouseley's Rastus. A supreme champion and holder of an MFH
Working certificate . ( In D. Brian Plummer, "The Complete Jack Russell
Terrier", 1980, Sulfok, England).
The old Border Terrier had many crosses: with the Bedlington and the Dandie Dinmont.
Including with the bulldog to hunt badger, otter and fox.
How, therefore, did the white body working terriers appear - , or more to the
point, why did such color materialize? One hypothesis is that, during the 1700, fox
hunting, using properly organized packs of hounds, became popular in England
To bolt the foxes and allow the hounds a run, a terrier therefore had do be used. It's believable that a white-body working terrier was fairly essential for such a task, since hounds might mistake a brown or black-and-tan terrier for a fox and kill the terrier. According Brian-Plummer the alteration of the appearance and structure of the British working terrier was the popularization of the sport of competitive rat killing. See photo 12.
