In the past I've had a webpage on rare dog breeds
but I got rid of it for different reasons. Anyway
I've decide to start it again and include lists of
every breeds. I have the terrier list done now.
Some of the breeds are extinct, some are just
strains, and some are scams. I was wondering
if someone would like to check it out for me and
see if I've forgot any breeds or made any
mistakes. Thank you.

Well, I didn't have time to go through your whole list but you did make a
mistake on my dog's breed...

>American soft-coated wheaten terrier (US)


There is no "American" in front of the breed name, and for good reason.. it
is an Irish breed. I can see how you could be confused, because people
often refer to "American wheatens". American here is not part of the name,
but rather describing the type of coat (American lines have bred a far more
plush coat, whist Irish lines have a silkier coat texture).

Hope that helps

I've gone over your 'English' list (although UK would be a better
description as some of these dogs are not English but Scottish or Welsh.
Those recognised by the UK Kennel Club I've just marked KC.
>
>Aberdeen terrier (England)

Scottish - it's what the Scottish Terrier used to be called.
Alternatively, there seems to be a terrier called an Aberdeen Terrier
recognised by clubs overseas, claimed to be a split from the early
Scotties, but it's not recognised here.

>Airedale terrier (England) KC
>Bedlington terrier (England) KC
>Black Airedale terrier (England)

No such thing recognised in the UK - perhaps a regular Airedale with
poor colouring? Or maybe an overseas variation?

>Black and tan hunt terrier (England)

As far as I am aware, this is an American development. It's a variety of
what they call an English Jack Russell, originating with dogs of Irish
stock.

>Black-and-tan toy terrier (England)

Another name for the Manchester Terrier.

>Border terrier (England) KC
>Bull terrier (England) KC
>Cairn terrier (England) KC
>Cheshire terrier (England)

Extinct.

>Cyldesdale terrier (England)

I think you probably meant to spell that 'Clydesdale'. It's another name
for the extinct Paisley.

>Dandie Dinmont terrier (England) KC
>Devon terrier (England)

Doesn't exist.

>English soft-coated wheaten terrier (England)

>Irish soft-coated wheaten terrier (England)

There's no difference. The KC recognises it just as the Soft Coated
Wheaten Terrier - it's an Irish dog.

>Jack Russell terrier (England)

Unrecognised by the KC. Most people consider it a distinct breed,
although in common usage the name is often used to refer to a type.

>Johnson terrier (England)

To the best of my knowledge this doesn't exist. As best as I can find
out, in the 60s a pictorial of terriers and lurchers by a chap called
Johnson was published. It seems to be referred to as the Johnson Terrier
& Lurcher Pictorial, which may be source of this one.

>Lakeland terrier (England) KC
>Lucas terrier (England)

I think this one is extinct in the UK but I believe there is an American
variation.

>Manchester terrier (England) KC
>Miniature bull terrier (England) KC
>Norfolk terrier (England) KC
>Norwich terrier (England) KC


>Old English broken black-and-tan terrier (England)

With the exception of the Old English Sheepdog, anything preceded with
'old' is probably using it as a selling point - along the lines of Ye
Olde English Tea Shoppe, it looks good but means little. I don't know of
any KC reg breed other than the OES that uses this. Usually when you see
it, it's either a fake breed or an overseas development.

>Old Scotch terrier (England)

I imagine this refers to what used to be called Scotch Terriers. Scotch
Terrier was a catch-all term used to refer to the terriers brought by
Scottish immigrants - in reality a variety of different terriers
including the Clydesdale and Paisley.

>Olde tyme Staffordshire bull terrier (England)

Doesn't exist in the UK.

>Paisley terrier (England)

Extinct.

>Parson Jack Russell terrier (England) KC
>Patterdale terrier (England)

This is only recognised as a breed outside the UK. Here it refers to a
type of dog rather than a breed.

>Pittenweem terrier (England)

Doesn't exist as far as I know, but could have been used to refer to a
type of local terrier.

>Plummer terrier (England)

Plummer is a breeder. He's come up with his 'Plummer Terrier'. It's the
British equivalent of the American made-up breeds, but not as widespread
- just about as far as he's been able to hand out his pups.

>Poltalloch terrier (England)

Now known as the West Highland White.

>Rillington Bedlington terrier (England)

I don't think this is a breed. It may refer to a lurcher (sighthound
cross) that's part Bedlington.

>Roseneath terrier (England)

Another historic name for the West Highland White.

>Rothbury terrier (England)

Another name for the Bedlington.

>Scottish terrier (England) KC
>Sealyham terrier (England) KC
>Shropshire terrier (England)

I don't think this exists. It was used to refer to a type of dog which
was noted for hereditary deafness, but I doubt it's a breed.

>Skye terrier (England) KC
>Smooth fox terrier (England) KC
>Sommerset terrier (England)

Doesn't exist. If it ever did, it was probably spelt 'Somerset' or
developed overseas.

>Staffordshire bull terrier (England) KC
>Trumpington terrier (England)

In the 1800s it referred to a type of small crossbreed with red or black
and tan coats.

>Toy terrier (England) KC

Normally called the English Toy Terrier.

>Waterside terrier (England)

The early name for the Airedale, before it was crossed with the
Otterhound.

>Welsh terrier (England) KC
>West highland white terrier (England) KC
>White English terrier (England)

Extinct.

>White fell terrier (England)

The Fell Terrier is another name for the Patterdale, but there's no such
breed as the White Fell Terrier.

>Wire fox terrier (England) KC
>Yorkshire terrier (England) KC

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your help. I actually listed the American wheaten, Irish
wheaten, and English wheaten because there are variations between them
and I was considering them strains and hoped to tell people about the
slight differences between them.

Thank you for your suggestions. I've changed all of the English breeds
on my list to now read UK. Sorry about that mistake.

Some breeders are breeding for what they call the original Scottish
terrier. It's shorter and stockier than the Scottish and is being called
the Aberdeen.

> >Black Airedale terrier (England)
>

This is an all black Airedale that is also larger and heavier. I think
that it was caused by crossbreeding but I can't be sure because I can't
find out anything about its origin.

I saw this on a club for the Jack Russell and assumed it was from the
UK. My mistake.

I've seen many different books listing the black-and-tan toy terrier and
the toy terrier as seperate strains if not breeds.

I did spell Clydesdale wrong. I have heard that it and the Paisley were
different breeds.

I thought it did exist but is now extinct.

I thought that there were slight differences between both of these and
also with the soft coated in the US. I was considering them strains and
wanted to tell people about their differences.

I hadn't heard anything about a pictorial. I had heard that the Johnson
terrier was a strain of fell terrier that possibly had some
Staffordshire bull terrier blood added. They are blue in color and have
a bully type head.

> >Lucas terrier (England)

Do you mean that the dogs in the US are not the same type as the ones
that used to be in the UK?

This is an extinct ancestor of some of the terrier breeds.

> >Olde tyme Staffordshire bull terrier (England)
>
> Doesn't exist in the UK.

A kennel club in the UK that on deals with bull and terrier breeds says
it deals with Irish Staffordshire bull terrier and olde tyme
Staffordshire bull terriers. I think it it was called the
Intercontinental Kennel Club. But I may be wrong. I'll have to check.

> >Pittenweem terrier (England)
>

This is one of three strains that led to the developement of the West
Highland white terrier. It was bred by Dr Flaxman from Fifeshire.

There are some scams on here. Maybe this should be on the scams breed
list.

> >Poltalloch terrier (England)

This is also one of the three strains that let to the West Highland
white terrier. It is the main strain of those three.

It is used to make lurchers, at least that's what I heard. It's a
Bedlington terrier with Border terrier blood along with working Lakeland
and Glen of Imaal blood. Could be other breeds mixed in too.

> >Roseneath terrier (England)

The third strain leading to the West Higland white. This one was bred by
George Clark, who worked on the Duke of Argyll's estate.

I've heard that it was the ancestor of the Bedlington.

This I was listing because it's a white strain of fell terriers mixed
with Jack Russells. I have heard that the working Lakeland and the
Patterdale terrier are one breed at different extremes and the fell
terriers fell in between the two.

Thank you very much for your help Andrea. I appreciate it. I've hoped

The problem is whether to call it British, as I believe it's only
Americans that are doing this.

That sort of thing tends to go back to the days when there were multiple
ways of referring to a breed.

In a sense, I suppose, same dog bred in two locales.

Technically they are the same. In practice, American dogs differ from UK
dogs which differ from European dogs etc, but that's true of all breeds
not just this one. The emphasis breeders place on different features
vary depending on where you are.

Could well have been, there were dozens of fell terrier variations, all
named after the breeder or area. Not sure whether they can be considered
a breed.

>Do you mean that the dogs in the US are not the same type as the ones
>that used to be in the UK?

It unlikely that they would be the same. These early terriers were bred
using a constant blend of outside blood - which gave them rather a lot
of variation.

>> >Old English broken black-and-tan terrier (England)
>

>This is an extinct ancestor of some of the terrier breeds.

I doubt then that it would ever have had 'Old English' in the name. That
tends to be an overseas addition.

There is only one Kennel Club in the UK. You might find an overseas
kennel claiming this sort of breed. Same with the Irish Staffordshire -
Ireland is Ireland and Staffordshire is a county in the Midlands of
England.


>

Ah. I see where you're going with these now. The old terriers named
after people and places were often more like the produce of the modern
kennels rather than breeds, think of the names as affixes - just as I
own a Seeswift greyhound and someone else may own a Windspiel greyhound
and an educated eye may well be able to see the difference. At the end
of the day, they're still just greyhounds.

He's apparently aiming for a tough hunting terrier, as if there aren't
plenty already to choose from, including some wonderful hunting terriers
bred in America.

It's another one of those local kennels.

Its always hard to work out what's going on in lurchers. I'm not sure
I'd like to see what comes of these crosses once you add the sighthound
to them to make the lurchers!

Essentially another kennel name - Roseneath is the name of the estate.

Yep, it was renamed later.

None of them have particularly strict characteristics. At the time,
there were few breeds as such, and people just crossed whatever they
thought would get them a dog for the purpose they had in mind. These
were then named after the person, place or job but there's massive
variation. A fell terrier from one village would be quite different from
one in a village up the road.

This is particularly true of the terriers, which were the real working
man's dog. Some of the names even just refer to one dog or one litter,
or terriers from a variety of breeds which do the same job. You'll be
glad to know that the English terriers are the most complicated group.
Hounds are nearly as bad!

They're a first generation cross of Alaskan Malamute and Jack Russell
Terrier. Not much more to it besides that they're similar to cock-a-poos
and other such scam breeds.

What's the difference between the Australian silky and the Silky?

Histories of the Australian Terrier claim that one of the breed's earliest
names was 'Tasmanian broken hair terrier'.

I don't recall seeing Tibetian terrier on your list. I realize that it
is a terrier in name only, and doesn't have any British roots. But that
may be true of a number of other ones on your list.

Stand them side by side and you won't have a bit of trouble seeing the
differences.

In a nutshell--
Australian Terrier (shown as a Terrier) has a visibly more wiry coat, and is
a bit heavier set, weighing more.
The Silky Terrier (shown as a Toy) has longer, more silky coat, and is not
quite as heavy per inch.

Many other differences (head, ears, etc.) but these are the easiest to spot.

I'm well aware of the difference between the Australian Terrier (I have
one) and the Silky Terrier. But the list also included an entry for
'Australian silky'. I was wondering if that was a duplicate.

A couple books I've read had entries for them as seperate breeds. They
said that the silky descended from crossing of the Skye, cairn, and
Yorkshire. Th standard was set in 1962 and updated in 1967. The
Australian silky was developed by crossing the Yorkshire and Australian
terriers. It's standard was set in 1933. There are other differences so
just let me know if you want to know more.

I have some additions to my list. I'm not going to repost the whole
list just the new ones. I have changed England to the UK among some
other things. I may repost some other time if anyone cares. Anyway here
goes.

Alaskan terrier (US)
Coypu hunting terrier (US)
Creeper terrier (US)
Giants pit bull terrier (US)
McCamBro feist (US)
Micro miniature schnauzer (US)
Oorang Airedale terrier (US)
Pitpatter terrier (US)

I also have some questions for any one that reads this. There are a
bunch of crossbreeds/scams that I've heard of but I'm unsure of whether
they are common enough to mention. If they are pretty common do they
still retain a terrier type appearance?I hoping someone can let me know
about these.

Jack rat terrier
Jack feist
Rat feist
Snowball fox terrier
Yorkie poo
Charlee bear
Pussell
Russell bull terrier
Silky Yorkshire terrier

If you've heard of these and think they belong please let me know. Also
if you know of any more common and popular terrier crossbreeds. Thanks
in advance.

Just checked the AKC and Silky Terrier Club of America. We might be
dealing with an evolution of the name rather than a different breed:

"Developed around the turn of the century in Australia from crossings of
native Australian Terriers and imported Yorkshire Terriers,...

"Originally known as the Sydney Silky Terrier, in 1955 the official name
for the breed became the Australian Silky Terrier.

"The first official meeting of the Sydney Silky Terrier Club of America
was held on March 25, 1955, and in July of that year, the name was changed
by a vote of its members to Silky Terrier Club of America."
http://www.akc.org/breeds/recbreeds/silter.cfm

The Australians still use the longer name, though the Americans have moved
toward the shorter. But as far as I can tell from the web pages and their
links, they are regarded as the same breed.

By the way, 1962 is when the STCA was incorporated (and probably wrote up
the standards as part of its by laws). Prior to incorporation and
recogniticion of the club by the AKC, American Silky owners were
registering their dogs in Australia.

Thanks for the info Paul. I've been trying to look up different sites on
the internet but they al led to the same breed. So between me and you I
think we've proved the book wrong. I've taken the silky terrier off of
the list and kept the Australian silky terrier. Thanks.

Things like the coypu hunting
Pit Bull X working terrier crosses
aren't scams. They are, like lurchers,
crosses that are specially bred to
do a job better than existing breeds
can, and haven't, to my knowledge,
been marketed to pet homes at all,
let alone in "scamworthy" numbers.

That is also true of the Rat Terrier
and other working terrier-based Feists.
The only place I see them discussed
much at all are in places like _Full Cry_,
ie publications directed at people
interested not just in working breeds,
but actually honest-to-god work-for-a-
living DOGS.

And the biggest scam is the overmarketing
of Jack Russells to pet homes in fluffy
pubs like _Dog Fancy_.

I thought the Pinscher was in the working group? I could be wrong though, I
know that they are ratters but thought they were more shown as guarders.
