Coursing mad 24 874 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Mine are bred from a blue and tan dog that I got from the hey trhrop hunt up north 8 years ago . I put him with a bith bred from one of Paul days dogs from Wisbech and I worked and bred from there mate . All of mine are very small with strong heads quite short in the back compared to most borders you see now . But they really do work there hearts out . 4 Quote Link to post

CorkyJohn 808 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Jossa yours is the first I've seen on here that shows the marks of its trade. I've heard lads saying the borders are either too hard or useless, that its difficult to get a sensible dog. If a terrier works close it'll take stick, if its worked regular then all the more so. Its been said that the borders muzzle hair masks the marks but a mate had a rough dog seeing regular work & the hair didnt grow because of it. Nice to see/ hear borders are still working though 1 Quote Link to post
dillydog 8,463 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 It's something when killing a few rats classes a terrier as working, ffs get a grip. 7 Quote Link to post
