Coursing mad are your borders earth dogs or just for mouching about at rats and such,genuine question, also what percentage of working stock would you have from a litter, working as in digging dogs. They look like workers compared to some of the stuff you see nowadays paraded around rings.we had a couple down the years, 1 was bought as a pup, turned out a really good little bitch, unfortunately lost to poison on a shoot, and another was a working dog we also bought, he was a very steady dog to dig to  most of the time, he died after a really tough long dig,he pushed to tight and couldn't keep out of harm's way, died the following day. I also seen one that came from a pet home because it had a hatred for cats, it was brought on a Friday and 1st day in the field was Sunday morning and he was dug, and went on to be a really good dog, again unfortunately he climbed out of his pen and into a  lurcher and that was him,always liked the  look of the borders, great to see people still with them.

Any border dogs I had the pleasure to work over were hard brutes, and the we bitch I owned was a cracking dog to own quiet as a mouse in the garden but a psycho on Fox, I’d love another like her

As others have said there are some nice Border Terriers on this thread. The forgotten unsung dog of the working terrier world? Physically the perfect working stamp. I think that the   Patterdale type owes more to the Border than is accepted. The Border show man loves the "otter head". Don't think there's any otter blood in them. The Patterdale man favourers the Bull head.  Yes, it has been added in recent years but maybe the enigmatic originals had more than a little Border blood. Where did the "otter" head come from in the Border?

I often think a lot of rough black terriers have a border look about their heads.
