I just finished watching an episode of breed all about it. The dogs featured are the English Fox Hound. What impressed me is that these are still pure working dogs. It’s still one breed that has not been ruined. They are still bred and used for exactly what they were bred for over a century ago. Apparently this friendly pack animal is not without controversy. In England fox hounds capture and kill the fox. Parliament wants to ban fox hunts. Tony Blair used this as platform to get elected. Judging by the mobs of people protesting this law, I imagine they put it on the back burners. The show is rerun so I guess everything is status quo. What’s happening to the dog world Breed specific legislation now this, pretty soon we will all own robot dogs.

Not protection dogs, RICHARD! I don't want to hear it, but some pretty nice working (hunting) animals still come from over the pond. Jack Russels, even that is changing somewhat now, Patterdales, Irish Terriers, etc. That pround hunting tradition is still strong in the UK from what I have heard.
Whilst I have to agree with Van Camp(Now that makes a nice change)there are some good hunting dogs still bred in UK but sadly that will soon change as a bill is now going through government to ban all hunting with dogs.This is at present going to be a total ban unless the hunting groups can get it changed,will include everytype of hunting with dogs even rat catching,crazy old world we live in.
