Working Border Terrier.

[Lugworm 12]

Does anybody know of genuine strain of working borders,you just don't seem to see any about these days .during the late 80s I had the pleasure to go out with a couple one was owned by a really good terrier man but always blew hot and cold ,a cross word early in the day would see him sulking.

The other was the absolute opposite he was a demon to anything including other terriers

I believe he came a cropper in a kennel fight before he reached his full potential.

 

Only other experience was a very good friend of mine had a 3/4 borderx1/4 Lakeland he was a great dog ,could be dug to ,knew when to mix it and when to be steady would catch rats in water ,rock steady with ferret and a great busher quite in the kennel and very plasid around other dogs, a real gem funny how he never got the credit he deserved but I suppose looking back we where only 15 yrs of age ourselves.

Here is an old picture from 1989, two of my terriers both had border in them and both useful dogs funny how times change, you don't see that many about.it's a shame I always liked borders good looking little dogs.

A relative of mine has one supposedly from working stock , he does nothing with him and I always think what a waste.

Wonder if they'll ever make a comeback.

First one was going well but ended up bolting foxes soi gave her away. Second one was useless she was 3/4 border. Been looking a pup out of decent parents might have one coming if a young bitch keeps going well

this dogs grandmother was Levi oakes border , he's had em a lifetime. He sent this to my friend who worked it and would tell you how things are. No acting the bollox with this fella.

Nice pic Dan,keep us posted on the young bitch you spoke about I don't have a terrier at the mo I have been looking for a while but in no rush would love to see the border make a comeback.

That was her cleaned up a bit never weighed her or measured her she came from wexford is all i know. One of my mates got her for me as the border bitch i had before her got let out of the trailer by mistake and got hit by a car.
