Addition To My Border Team

Nice mate, what line are they? I like the blue and tans and will have one one day as using the grizzles when beating cover for foxes to the guns throws you sometimes. when a grizzle jumps out the cover you raise the gun for that split second haha!!

Obi2, the bitch i had from my local hunt kennels. They had 4 Borders in service, and well worked. The sire is Oxcroft. Mostly bushing done these days but both parents are up for a charlie or two. I havn't got much in the way of digging done for the last year or so, so like desertdog says they must be flexible or i wouldn't have much to do. If the 2 pups i've kept back are as keen as their parents i'll be well chuffed. I didn't have much of a choice with the pups as only 1 of the bitches survived. The little weedy one only lasted a few hours, she was a blue n tan aswell. Shame but shit happens. The bitch i kept always looked the strongest of all the pups so i think i may be lucky and got a good un.

This is the dam & sire.

Very tidy dogs mate, my dog and 1 of my bitches are oxcroft. Good little workers, she's the best dog iv owned to date and u hope this pup takes after her.

He's the second one i've had off Jack and many moons ago i took up a bitch for a mating with Rogue and kept a blue n tan dog pup. I know some don't rate them but Oxcroft certainly have plenty of spirit and they do ok for me.

This was my little Oxcroft bitch. Heart of a lion and no reverse gear.

nice to see someone out there is keeping the faith in the little otterheads, good thread lads.

We should keep this thread going birchdown with updates on how our pups are turning out at the different stages between them, Hopefully all turn out to be good working dogs.
