XroseX top of the class lol Well done. Thanks every one for taking the time to answer the questions

(1) There were only 2 types of terrier in the eighteenth century

Thats not many what were they?

Towards the middle of the eighteenth century a writer gave the following description of the breed of that time: "There are two sorts of terrier, the one rough, short-legged and long-backed, very strong and most commonly of a black or yellowish color mixed with white; the other is smooth-haired and beautifully formed, having a shorter body and more sprightly appearance, is generally reddish-brown color or black with tanned legs".

I'm sure there would have to be more than 2!! surely the staff/ bull terrier types have been around since the eighteenth century?
then theres the ratters and the fox terrier types??

By 1790 terrier puppies were bred with the occasional white marking. An etching of that time shows a Black and Tan puppy with a white chest. Gradually the numbers of white puppies increased and in 1858 the editor of The Field magazine maintained that "black and tan was the only true color", adding that "many were to be seen white".

The earth terriers - with short legs - were hard working, energetic and extremely tough and would go to ground after fox, badger and rabbit.


The larger terriers were expert at disposing of otter, water rats and many forms of wildlife which lived along river banks and around farms.


It is only since the nineteenth century that they have gradually developed into distinct breeds. Countrymen in various parts of the British Isles realized the importance of breeding puppies along different lines to suit the locality in which they worked.

This extract was taken from the history of terriers hayley who am i to argue lol
