Blake 2 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 the theory that money has ruined the border terrier doesn't stack up relative to the springer spaniel which is still the best working gun dog although it is KC regd and pups change hands for big money. the difference between a terrier and a springer is the springer has kept its working core through the field trials. whereas the majority of borders bred will never see much more than the sofa. is there any point in trying to preserve a specific type of terrier when there are so many different working terriers, surely it would make sense to breed worker to worker of any terrier be it patterdale, lakey or Russell to actually try and preserve the working terrier.

junkbucket 0 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 its a good thing what you are doing mate but the price of the borders is that if you pay 4oo for your dogs and they do the digging well you still want ya money back for the pups.i dont ca\re who says what ive worked borders for years and they have all proved themselves and my pups were the same price as the parents what i paid which was 350 a pup and i wasnt stuck with a pup because theb people who bought them new they grafted.but you do get the peoplke who just want to earn a quick buck and mine were k.cd to. absolute fcuking sh1t talk if all border onwers think like this muppet then you s are beat before yous start .the genuine lads will have proper digging dogs standing in there kennells proably given too them by like minded dog men and i ll bet not one of them is a border.to save the border things have to change ie forget money .quick question lurchers if you give 400 for a good bitch and you breed her and she has 5 pups why not just charge a 100 a pup your still a 100 quid up on price of original bitch thats your money back dont think so you muppet pound sign s rock your boat A1 ... took the words right out of my mouth. A couple near where I am have just paid 450 for a border terrier pup that will never see a dig. Bloody shame because they are fine wee dogs that are going to hell in a hand cart with breeders and the like just seeing the £ signs. KC? ... the who? ... lol ... batch of ponces with their noses up each others butts who praise each other about the remarkable fragrance they experienced. sad to see someone on an honest folks forum selling at 350 - end off - but oh? he's KC registered? and cant spell worth a toot? .... lol.

junkbucket 0 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 extract from The Border Terrier Club web site "Is the Border Terrier the right dog for you and your family? The Border Terrier is first, foremost and essentially a working terrier. Although he will willingly become part of your family and can become a loyal and loving friend, he does have some habits, or traits, which are part of his breed characteristics, which may not always endear him to you or your extended family and friends. He was originally bred to work to fox and other vermin, and should be capable of following a horse all day and then still be fresh enough to go to ground to bolt the fox. Because of this, he can have lots of energy. Although he will be happy relaxing on your knee and having a cuddle, he also needs plenty of walks to keep him healthy and happy. He may be inclined to chase small critters and it is not always easy to train him to distinguish between the rat you would like despatched and your child's pet hamster!" and on it goes... "small critters" ... lol. Read the rest of the drivel here .... http://www.theborderterrierclub.co.uk/abouthebreedpage.htm ... or not as the mood may take you Quote Link to post

PICK AND SHOVEL 4 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Sorry for not being able to reply any sooner but Ive been flat out on the barn roof. Thanks to all those that have posted in a positive way...Anyway we have received the membership cards so i will be posting those out over the course of next week so please bare with me. The first batch were not up to scratch so we sent them back hence the delay in getting them sent out to you. We have been working hard on the club website and that is now ready for you to have a look at...Certain parts of it are restricted to members only another good reason to join the club, not that you should need one. I hope the club site is okay and welcome any comments that may help improve it as building a club site on the computer has stretched me i must admit Ive lost count of the ammount of hours it has taken us to get it finished.This is the link to it..I hope it works okay and would appreciate it if you could let me know how you get on with the link... http://www.workingborderterrierclub.co.uk/# Quote Link to post
