then an outcross to a good black fel type could be a good way to bring them back from the brink

Here is a few!! that fawn dog in the first picture was supposed to be a son of some good border dog from the Uk Tyson I think his name was! And the old dog was retired I had him for breeding but the pups of him never made the grade!! The blackens are more suitable for the earth work in my opinion

Mate Used that tyson on a border bitch long time ago..... Ad In back of cmw.... Dogs were silly hard bitches all 10 minute wonders, very narrow little things, was lucky to get a handful of digs to the dogs a season, never learnt any manners....... None made it past 4 yr old. Local farmer shot the last dog troy from that litter when he saw it wandering outside of the estate..... Silly move on his behalf

Funny you should say that because ive only ever seen 2 borders that worked to a decent standard and both were ridiculously rock hard.

I only ever dug 2 Borders, a dog and a bitch. They were both steady types and the bitch would have probably had hundreds of digs throughout her career.

The ones we had that would stay would just grab any part of the quarry and take what ever was dished out to them..... We were young lads early 20's before the ban came in and didn't know no better... These days I wouldn't dream of keeping the type that are always in the sick bay..... Get more done with a little bayer/mixer that knows when to step it up. still know a few old boys who keep the borders right shame that these days most are more concerned with charging £600 a pup from potlickers than putting them in good working homes

The only reason for that is because there is no longer the terrier expertise about now,the vast majority of folk about now would not have the working knowledge to own a Border/Lakeland and find it far easier to enter a terrier that is nearly idiot proof,yet owned by a majority of idiots.Black terriers are the salvation of the majority now and thats a fecking poor reflection of the nous of terrier folk about now.

Yea things were done with much more class and expertise years ago morton when doubling up was standard practice, a standard you still work your dogs too,

My old dog is like that, he is mute. He kills alot of his quarry, the younger stuff i have and friends have are more the bayer/mix type but get the job done well.

Doubling up wasn't standard practise. Don't know who told you that.
