How long would borax powder take to cure it? Iv cured skins with salt before but they take a long time to dry out propa and go stiff.....would need something to rehydrate it after i would think Witton

Bear always throws big pups like himself....its horses for courses but these pups could be good. Bear is very game....we have had him out and he deffinatly does his job...He kils fox's like a terrier with a mouse....No messing about. And before the ban is the fastest iv ever seen a dog kill a pig We have ran and caught fox on the lamp with the old dog....which says a lot because fox arnt exactly slow on the lamp with a dog up there arse. Everyone has there own opinions on the littler but its all horses for courses.....at certain jobs these pups will be good. I have to say i don't like collie
