These are Jadg terriers, so the code is not too deeply buried, but there is a code inside every dog and it is the code of the wolf, pruned downed and smoothed over.
Dogs are not blank slates, no matter how often such sentiments are voiced by nattering know-nothings. A beagle is not a border collie, a greyhound is not a working terrier, and a pit bull is not a basset, any more than ash wood is pine or balsa is oak.
If you are working with dogs, it is easier to work with the grain, rather than against it. It is important to recognize that every type of animal, every breed, every blend, and every individual has its own properties, its own twists, knots, and straight runs. A failure to recognize and respect this is why humans fail dogs so often.
