Working borders?


Recommended Posts

Hi all!

It would be nice to have an update on working borders, I mean real work, not bushing and ratting etc. I work borders in Sweden on badger and fox. Hard to find decent workers but me and a couple of friends try to make the small percentage of the working ones to carry on. Please put a pic up if you have one.

 

Cheers!

This is my young bitch, iv only had a dozen digs with her up untill now but shes going realy well.

 

Thanks fellows! Nice pics! Do you have KC-registered BT’s?

Where I live there’s plenty of badgers so I spend most my time hunting badgers but now and then a fox gets in front of my terriers but that’s most common between dec-feb.

How’s your BT’s staying power? I think most terriers have enough hardness but the majority lacks in prey drive and ability to work on their own for as long as it takes.

 

Cheers!

i must admit with you fella WORKING borders are

few and far between very hard to get a decent one

i once owned a border x lakeland and the bitch was

a joy to have in my yard very good on fox and had

an excellent nose.the last i heard she was still

doing foxes at the age of 13, i have been trying to look

out some old pics..not got any good uns of her..

hopefully you find what your looking for,
