They left out an entire important group of dogs, the terriers. Without the terriers and their exceptional use as vermin dogs, farms would be over run with rats, rabbits and other animals that consume products meant for human and domestic animal consumption. The chicken houses would be void of chickens if foxes and possums and raccoons were not kept down by these courageous dogs. Some of the terrier breeds also were protectors of livestock and children, such as the Airedale, which was also an outstanding military dog in England. It is a shame to forget an entire group just because they are not in favor by pet owners right now. Asta was a Wire Fox Terrier, JFK had a Welsh Terrier, and FDR had a number of Scottish terriers, Hitchcock had Sealyham terriers which often appeared in his movies. They are not everyone's cup of tea, you have to be smart and stubborn to work well with these tough intelligent characters.
