Stanleigh 135 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I remember a picture on here a good while ago , a really nice looking dog , if I remember right the man said it came from a very level litter , it might be worth doing a search . Quote Link to post
tripletree 75 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thia ones actually a whippet cross JRT but could easily be mistaken for a border cross in terms of looks. It's a cracking worker. Quote Link to post

skycat 6,173 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I've got one: Border dam, Whippet sire. He is tiny: 17", not that fast but one of the best ferreting and cover dogs I've ever had. Brilliant nose, faces any cover: how he hasn't blinded himself I'll never know: although he's not yet 3 years old he has flushed most things, but it's ferreting where he impresses most. Consistent and accurate mark, catches bolters before they've gone a yard, retrieves to hand: I could go on LOL His only fault, if you could call it that, is that he isn't fast enough to catch running rabbits on top: different to some bolters which aren't as fast as one heading for home: depending on the land of course. 1 Quote Link to post

He flushes anything with a pulse: loves wooden tops and charlie, though I'd never deliberately set out to do anything so illegal! He's far too small to tackle anything big on his own, but he's perfect for flushing stuff from cover in places where I dare not let the terriers loose for fear they'll go to ground in bad places. So far he's shown no desire to go to ground at all: long may it last as his nose is great: means I can go places and flush stuff without worrying about losing a terrier to ground. Quote Link to post
