Old English Black and Tan Terrier
The Old English Black and Tan Terrier is an extinct breed of dog. For the last time a representative of this breed was exhibited in 1900. He is often (probably wrongly) considered the most important ancestor of the Welsh Terrier . Its disappearance is believed to be related to the increasing popularity of the Welsh Terrier. Together with the Old White English Terrier , it is considered to be a forerunner of the Fox Terrier and thus the Jack Russell Terrier or Parson Russell Terrier . It is also believed that the Old English Black and Tan Terrier also contributed to the breeding of the Airedale Terrier .

Individual evidence
- ↑ Welsh Terrier Claub of Great Britain see “history”: “Some confusion resulted when the English Kennel Club admitted the breed for registration on a joint basis with the Old English Wire Haired Black and Tan Terrier, now thought to be a hodge podge of other breeds which resembled the Welsh Terrier. In any event, the Black and Tan no longer exists while the Welshman remains a testimonial to the sound requirements set up by his breeders. "
