I know this might be a silly question given the category I'm asking about but I have been thinking of a new dog for the last few years and am very fond of the wire coat and kind of gentlemanly appearance of terrier breeds like
Irish
Airedale, Welsh
etc.
I like knowing I can "whoah" and recall a dog with confidence though. Does anyone have experience if this is a reasonable goal for breeds like those mentioned or similar breed being a little easier to train for this?
I live on a large rural farm and am confident I can introduce most terrier pups to chickens and the cat (I got the cat to respect the chicks) but I have a lot of predators and a lot of forest to get lost in so need a dog that I can work with to respond reliably when I call them back.
