Old Jock
Old Jock (1859–1871), was a famous Fox Terrier during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A mostly white dog, he ran briefly with a hunting kennel before becoming a show dog, most notably with a victory at the show which popularised the Fox Terrier. His main show rivalry was with a dog named Tartar, and along with a dog named Trap, the three were popular sires of the Fox Terrier breed. He was also involved in the early formation of the Jack Russell Terrier and the Dandie Dinmont Terrier breeds. ==Early life== According to the Kennel Club studbook, Old Jock was bred at some point during 1859 either by Captain Percy Williams in his Rufford Kennels, or by Jack Morgan who at the time was a huntsman with the Grove Kennels.〔Lee (1895): p. 31〕 He was bred from Jock and Grove Pepper, both huntman's terriers.〔Lee (1895): p. 32〕 Jock was owned by Captain Williams, while Grove Pepper was owned by Morgan.〔Leighton (1910): p. 204〕 It was claimed in W.D. Drury's 1903 work ''British Dogs, Their Points, Selection, And Show Preparation'' that Old Jock was in fact bred from Quorn Kennels and that the listing in the Kennel Club studbook was incorrect. He was a mostly white terrier, weighing between during his lifetime. He had a tan mark on one ear, and a black patch near his stern and at the base of his tail. With strong legs and a well sprung chest, although it was noted that he had the appearance of having a missing rib when in thin condition. His ears were well placed with strong jaws and was described by dog author Rawdon Lee as being a "symmetrical terrier".〔 Compared to his rival Tartar, he was considered to be far less of the Bull and terrier type.〔 Old Jock ran two hunting seasons with the Grove Hunting Kennels and his tail was docked, although at a longer length than was considered normal at the time.〔Lee (1895): p. 33〕
