I don't know about Dobbies and snakes. But with the breeding down of most breeds getting a useful dog can be challenging indeed.
I have a friend that raises and swears by JRTC (jack russell terrier club) dogs as a posed to AKC. She says that AKC dogs are breed for pet quality and that most of the drive has been breed out. All I know for sure is that a few years ago she had a female that was pregnant with 5 pups, she was two weeks away from delivery when she scaled, and jumped from a 7 1/2 foot fence to kill a 18 lb raccoon. We thought for sure she had killed all her pups with that jump. But two weeks later they all came out healthy so, go figure. Any how all her dogs are crazy varmint hunters, it's funny to watch them dig and eventually go right into the ground to get a snake.
