Addition To My Border Team

[obi2 239]

Here's my new addition, I'm keeping the small bitch. bred from my own dogs for my own use. I use the mother for digging flushing ratting and beating. The sire I use for the same apart from digging and is also a great deer tracker and ferreting companion and will retrieve shot game from water ( sometimes) I have the sires half sister aswell who I wanted to breed from as she excelled at everything. but felt she was to old so didn't take the chance. The pup will be out working at all fieldsports that I do with the others.

Thanks guys, had to keep a close eye on her the first couple of days as I was worried about her weight and size so was bottle feeding here along with the milk she was getting from the dam. Now although she is more than half the size and weight of the others she is every bit as strong.

I'd defo be keeping a bigger pup but good luck with her obi

Wow...that's a hell of a size difference at that age....good luck with your choice

I know it is, il see how she turns out. She would be handy for getting into the difficult hard to reach bits but her size might be a problem when out flushin for rabbits and going to ground in rabbit holes.

If shes healthy,and she looks like she is you would do well to keep her imo. Hope they do well for you mate.

Yeh I suppose that could be an issue, be interesting to see what size she eventually makes though....

I think she might be a bit to small for the digging side mate.why don't you hold onto her and a bigger 1 and just keep her for ratting or a pet home mate.

loada shit. Some small dogs the size of chiuawas (spelling) will work an inch away from fox without getting a mark. And some runts like that turn out big dogs. Ive had one before, made 14inch

Like said ,size at that age means nothing

[obi2 239]

My mate had patts that were near enough half the size of my borders, cracking wee size and great workers below. Size defanatly didn't matter to them, if anything it aided them.
