Here is the page I was looking at: http://www.wisdompanel.com/breed_cou...shire-terrier/ |
To be honest, it looks like they 'roll the dice' with each access as far as "Related Breeds" is concerned. That is the same link where I went, I clicked on the one you posted, but now it says:
Miniature Pinscher Toy Fox Terrier
Papillon Affenpinscher Japanese Chin Havanese 
But...wait...I went back and NOW it says:
Miniature Pinscher
Shih Tzu
Chinese Crested
Chihuahua
Black and Tan English Toy Terrier
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
...so I went back again and it says this time:
Miniature Pinscher Toy Fox Terrier
Black and Tan English Toy Terrier Biewer Terrier Silky Terrier
Affenpinscher
...sooooo...back again, and now...
English Toy Spaniel
Chihuahua
Japanese Chin
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Black and Tan English Toy Terrier
Italian Greyhound
I dunno!
