Dogs and All about Them

A
wire-haired
black
and
tan
terrier
was
once
common
in
Suffolk
and
Norfolk,
where
it
was
much
used
for
rabbiting,
but
it
may
now
be
extinct,
or,
if
not
extinct,
probably
identified
with
the
Welsh
Terrier,
which
it
closely
resembled
in
size
and
colouring.
There
was
also
in
Shropshire
a
well-known
breed
of
wire-hair
terriers,
black
and
tan,
on
very
short
legs,
and
weighing
about
10
lb.
or
12
lb.,
with
long
punishing
heads
and
extraordinary
working
powers.
So,
too,
in
Lancashire
and
Cheshire
one
used
to
meet
with
sandy-coloured
terriers
of
no
very
well
authenticated
strain,
but
closely
resembling
the
present
breed
of
Irish
Terrier;
and
Squire
Thornton,
at
his
place
near
Pickering,
in
Yorkshire,
had
a
breed
of
wire-hairs
tan
in
colour
with
a
black
stripe
down
the
back.
Then
there
is
the
Cowley
strain,
kept
by
the
Cowleys
of
Callipers,
near
King's
Langley.
These
are
white
wire-haired
dogs
marked
like
the
Fox-terrier,
and
exceedingly
game.
Possibly
the
Elterwater
Terrier
is
no
longer
to
be
found,
but
some
few
of
them
still
existed
a
dozen
years
or
so
ago
in
the
Lake
District,
where
they
were
used
in
conjunction
with
the
West
Cumberland
Otterhounds.
They
were
not
easily
distinguishable
from
the
better-known
Border
Terriers
of
which
there
are
still
many
strains,
ranging
from
Northumberland,
where
Mr.
T.
Robson,
of
Bellingham,
has
kept
them
for
many
years,
to
Galloway
and
Ayrshire
and
the
Lothians,
where
their
coats
become
longer
and
less
crisp.
