Lovely pics and a gorgeous little boy you've got! My little one is 2 now and is dog obsessed! Few pics of her... Nim at 2 weeks old. 14 months old. 16 months old. 19 months - a spot of rabitting in the log shed. 23 months - a bit of walling with daddy. Yesterday out in the paddock - 2 yrs 3 months. She loves taking the dogs for a walk, and she is obsessed with looking for rabbits in walls! She knows how to behave around dogs - if they walk away from her she's to leave them alone, she's gentle with pups, and knows which dogs she ca

patman, I presume this is the same bloke I know and have known for years.... apparantly the dogs were nicked when he was taken to hospital. Shot with an air rifle on his forehead. Same bloke? shell

No probs snoop, hope you had a good couple of hours with us. Nice to meet you all as well. The little one will certainly sleep well tonight after all that charging about! Hope she didn't scare the lads too much! Will send you the info as soon as we get a finalised copy. Keep in touch, shell

Will do that now.

Not a bad part of the world is it snoopdog! Recognise all the places in those pics well! We've got a load of permission up at malham, half of it is up on the limestone, and the rest is lower down where all the crag rats walk! Don't get up that often anymore. shell

Awww she's gorgeous! congratulations! shell

Haven't bought a dog in for over 9 years, before we bought that bitch our old stock was home bred. Owt we have in kennels we've bred ourselves. From proven bitches, to proven dogs of the right breeding for us. As for being honest... we've nowt to achieve by lying to people.

Vixen, Our current Borders all go back to descendants of the Borders Malcs parents had when he was young. He started off primarily with a dog and a bitch, which produced a fantastic bitch, called True. But we never managed to get a litter from her. We managed to stumble on a bitch pup for sale that was very similarly bred to True, bought her, and all our present Borders go back to her. I've sent you a pm as well. Shell

Cheers for that m.r1 - I'll bear your advice in mind! All our Borders have entered to fox and worked well, apart from the pup who is obviously far too young. We don't get as much fox work as some of the folk on here, but we're honest about it. The dogs are out pretty much everyday mooching about. Does it really matter if we work them on rats and rabbits, as well as fox when the opportunity arises? I'd sooner have them going out most days doing something, rather than having them sat in kennels until the next opportunity of a fox comes along. If we had a dog in kennels that didn't prove itse

Congratulations! Hope mother and son are doing well! shell

Hope you get better soon. Like the others have said, keep you chin up and stay positive. Shell x

We used to have padlocks on the hutch at our other house (after the kids let them out) as it was in the middle of suburbia. But up at kennels we're in the middle of nowhere, no neighbours, no kids, nothing. Only person that comes to ours on a regular basis is the postman! Never thought we needed to lock the hutch to be honest. But, it is locked now! They won't be able to escape from it! And we won't be going through that again. shell

We had the same happen at our other house. Kids decided to go and see the ferrets. They were all over the street! People were catching them in their garages and all sorts! Got them all back except one... was finally found asleep in someones washing basket in their kitchen! shell

About a month ago the ferrets escaped out of their hutch. I don't think it had been shut properly and they'd managed to push the door open. They didn't go so far and were soon all caught. Malc tightened everything up on the doors and put new catches on etc. Sorted. I got home from work yesterday to find Malc looking flustered. The ferrets had somehow got out again. Malc had managed to find some of them - in the feed room, log shed, puppy pens. But 2 were still missing - our young hob and jill. Eventually found the jills body. She'd got in with the hounds and they'd killed her. We buried he

Thanks Dawn!

Ours ain't no show dogs ... far from it! And yes the parents do stay down below. bshadle - ours are all spannable, and are about 12-13 inch to the shoulder.

Steve66 - she goes back to old fashioned Dandyhow lines. Dog side goes back to Valmyre Magician of Dandyhow, April Fool and April Noddy, some of the older Oxcroft lines, some Riverworth, grandparents are from the Intack kennels. Bitch side - her mother and grandmother both have Working Certificates, she goes back to some Hollinholme (working strain), Raebrunfoot Royal Mail, and back to the older Dandyhow lines. shell

Well said ferret15. I've been holding off replying to this thread for a while now... but some of the comments made have really wound me up, so now I'll have my say. I'm of Ukrainian descent, and my grandparents came over in the late 40's, to escape to shite and tyranny that was Eastern Europe at the time. They grafted hard all their lives over here to put food on the table for their family, paid into the system, never claimed a bloody penny. They reared and educated their kids (my parents and aunties) who have all got good well paid jobs. I have been brought up English. But I can

This is a picture of 'Hope' our new Border Terrier pup. 10 weeks old. She's out of one of our gamest bitches, to a working dog from York. She's bred out of an old fashioned working strain. Malc went for a mooch out the other day and came home with a dozen rabbits. Showed one to the pup, which locked on, and wasn't for letting go - physically lifted off the ground while holding on to the rabbit - much to our daughters amusement! One of Malcs whippers-in with the Beagles has had terriers and lurchers all his life, and has never seen a Border pup as forward as her. To be honest, in all the pu

Malc had an old Border Terrier dog that he used to do a lot of ratting with on the canal side. The dog used to knock hedgehogs into the water so that they opened up and he'd jump in and bite them on the soft under bellies. shell

I presume thats why there are so many for sale with 70K+ on the clock, because of the engine problem past this stage. I've got a 2001 Navara, and it's great. Couldn't knock it apart from the seat belt not reeling back in! It's only got 35K on the clock and runs like a dream. shell
