Lots of interesting dog beads and not-so-good-looking handlers.
A vet in my old hometown won the best in show about 25 years ago with a dog named Peggy Sue.

I've always loved JRT's but right now I have a Jagd/English shepherd cross. No way Loki would even come close to making it to Westminster!

It used to be a big deal when my kids were young and still living at home, we'd all sit down and watch the show together.
I sent them messages that it was on this year.
Eh...wot?

Been thinking about the Jagd Terrier. I have read several accounts of them duck hunting which is my main hunt.
Moosetrot Talk to dead coyote about them. He has them and can tell you more about them than I can.

Short haired JRT's will shed. Corse haired ones usually don't.

I am grateful God put me next to Lee at fta and I was lucky enough to get one of his pups....been dogless for over 10 years and have not raised a pup to keep in decades.

Moosetrot Don't try to do the job of a carriage bolt with a finish nail I agree. Jadg might have the will and drive but you need a dog with longer legs to deal with the muck.

The best waterfowl/upland combo dog I ever owned was a mutt, lab/english pointer cross was the best guess since I got her at the shelter.. Best upland dog was a pure english pointer...once he was fully trained. My best police/narcotic demo dog was a dutch shepherd.

Yeah, I have been a Lab man since the early 70's. Took a chance on an American Water Spaniel in the late 80's. Did not work out well for anyone, especially my wife who had to drag it back to the truck from a pothole in Saskatchewan after getting bit. That dog was lucky our son was along or it would still be up there.
When the time comes I am sure I will come to my senses and get another Lab.
Moosetrot I love an all purpose dog which is what leads me to a lab. They can flush, point, retrieve, heck do about anything you ask of them I am also very impressed with the Drathaar's/Wirehairs. They can play the retriever game but it is a small portion of the breed. I had the pleasure of watching the first Drathaar in history to earn his Finished level title at an HRC hunt test a few weeks ago. He owned the test. Nothing better than a dog that can do it all
Gotta live up to the nickname...

Cannot watch anything like the Westminister here, or anything dog related . Our Aussie, Ranger, goes absolutely nuts about dogs on TV!
