CorkyJohn 808 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Here's a website I found: http://wartraceborders.com/index.html Thats the David Mason who was well known for his working terriers, judging by his sales spiel & his prices he seems like just another peddler who's prices would put the Brits to shame Quote Link to post
desertdog 149 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Here's a website I found: http://wartraceborders.com/index.html nice website, but somehow i dont think thats where we,re goin, the kennel club states, "the border is essentialy a working terrier,"how many kennel club memebers think like that, not many ill bet, my dog and his mum are registered, because at the time thats what i wanted, but my pups are,nt and i will not do it either, stuff the k,c,, i m breeding worker to worker everytime, and will strive to put the border back with the workers, but that just my opinion., why not it does not stop them from working if they are KC registered sold a good few pups to working home for the price of a pat with pedigrees agreed, im just not interested in the kc,they can still have a pedigree , from my own records, and they not goin to cost a fortune, some breeders claim from workers and still charge, its only a piece of paper, when i looked at a mates border pedigree, i could, nt believe how close bred it was.

donnyc 1,203 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I think as the border is today you have to keep it as close as you can .Its the pockets of close breeding that will keep them going .IMO. Quote Link to post
