    If breeding was a perfect science you would get 1/2 white bodied 1/2 coloured. Genetics seem to pay no attention to mathematics so the outcome will only be known after the litter is here. Good Luck.

    If they are from his old line bred to working stock, go for it. Mine go back to Bethane Crib via JJ's borders.

    Working Borders exist. You may have to spend a bit of time and research to find em and even more to assure thier breeders that you are "the real deal". Went from the other side of the pond to a working kennel on the Emerald Isle. Was not disappointed in what I found there and am very satisfied in what came back home with me. Black dogs are great. IMHO the a lot of thier good traits can be seen in good working Borders and very likely came from the Border Blood instilled early on. The every mans black dog culture has indeed created a lot of good workers. Again IMHO this is a far differe

    The LRT will do exactly as it says. It is quick, easy to use and quite accurate if used properly. The B&F is in a different league and will locate to a much further range. If the LRT's range is suitable for the work you do and suits your budget go for it. If not The digital locators are great and with the downsized collar are quite appealing.

    Genetics in its simplist form is that a dog has inherited one gene from each parent. For a terrier to express (show) white it must have 2 white genes (ww) as white is recessive and any color genes get expressed over the white genes. (ww) will express white (cc) will express color (cw) will express color The first cross of a white (ww) to a dog that has only color genes (cc) will produce all (cw) non white dogs. Cross the (cw) terrier back to (ww) and you will mathematically have half (cw) colored and half (ww) white dogs. As we all know in breeding mathematics don't always get expresse

    Not sure what you mean by Tuning? Is the depth off by a lot. Did it happen all of a sudden? If so there is probably a break in the internal antenna.

    Coyotehunter: If ya want some good digging and some challenging nuisance control feel free to join me about an hour from you this year right after the first cut is off. If we get there early am there is a good little pub that opens about noon.

    In the Areas around me north eastern USA and Southern part of Canada it is very simple. If your mad about digging terriers you will be digging groundhogs. They are the pretty much the most abundant summer quarry. South of here you will find some coons in the ground in summer to get away from the heat but not very many. Those are usually so small they are a breeze. Digging groundhogs with fairly consistent success takes good effort on both the terrier and the mans behalf. Small dogs can get up to them easier but a medium sized terrier with heart can work em. Most of the repairs we

    Yep you are the Luckiest SOB that I know.. Keep it up. Good job.

    Sorry mate but you are IMO way off the mark .If the two parents are that good then put them to another of the same breed .Too many people breeding for the sake of it and not for the right reason which is to provide future workers ,nothing else .Ive seen plenty of the sort you speak about but not many go on to reproduce anything decent .Maybe fixing something with a brother ,sister mating may work but times too precious for maybe's.The breeds were created by men who knew the game and knew what they wanted and to most of us that holds true today ,why f**k up years of creation by bastardising a b

    Dos Equis?????? They pull all the good beer out of the coolers over there? Helluva Day. How did you make that possie look soooooo small Glad to see the wee man is still giving you some exercise. Keep it going.

    Good questions Cleanspade. Those that would go outside are more than likely the purists "Working Terrier Purists". Asked a mate what did he think made the best working terrier, his answer "Border X Lakeland". I tend to concur that first cross makes for some real good working terriers as long as they are out of type purisits that have bred best worker to best worker. In other words it is all good as long as the folks arranging the breeding have thier heads in the right place. Best worker to best worker reguardless of if you are a type purist or a working terrier purist will never

    Johnny How much to ship to the USA and Canada? Ken

    Obviously you have developed an opinion not based on experience. I have seen to many XXXL coon harvested in front of small terriers to agree that a big hard terrier is the only ticket for them.

    My Description of a small terrier in North America is any Terrier that my thumbs completely overlap each other and smaller. Tight earths are the what has driven the small terrier fans over here. Does not matter how tall the terrier is as it is the chest that has to fit through the tube.

    Rolly: I am on your side of the pond and a small dog fan however if I lived in the UK my terriers would in general be larger. Where I live and hunt a smaller dog is required for good success. I have saw 10 lb dogs hold 35 lb coons with style for successful digs. I developed the small dog can do it all motto. After visiting where a small dog is not the requirement for success you develop a better respect for the why of a bigger dog. While a 243 may well take down a moose I would never go moose hunting with one. Folks tend to focus on what works best for the

    For your side of pond the above choices would be mine For my side of the pond a little different Size 11 to 13 inches, Chest fexibility and span is critical over here if they are to see any amount of work. Good head with strong teeth and jaws, not a bully head though as the dog needs to be able to manouver it quickly in tight spaces. Legs of decent length to allow it to travel the woods and snow. Coat: Dense, harsh and weather proof, will be subject to temps from 30 C (90+ F) to Minus 20 C (10 below F) Needs to be capable of falling into water in way below freezing temps and give a
