Hi Mate, hope this will be of help. Danny was bred out of a bitch called Misty, but unfortunately the sire died at an early age, and I'm afraid I don't know too much about him. All I do know about him, is that he was owned by a farmer who lived around the corner from Levi Oates. As far as I know K.C. registered as well. I know that the mating of these two dogs, were one of the best lines Levi ever had. Also, Danny became sterile at the age of 6, so if you are looking at a recent pedigree with Danny's name on it, I would suspicious. 2 friends of mine had litter brothers of Danny, 1 was called Simmy and the other called Rebel, these were excellent working Border terriers to all quarry, but they also became sterile around 6/8 years. Danny himself, was passed on to a friend of mine at 4 years old, and eventually died in his kennels. He was exceptionally hard and was only worked occasionally, the puppies he sired were always good. Hope this helps. - Good Hunting.

Hi Possum,

The names that you speak about are over 20 years old, have you still got this line of Border and did you get it from Levi directly? Do you still work these terriers and what is your success rate?

'Simmy' and 'Tess' were both owned by RW, do you know him?

Haven't heard of 'Toddy Boy' but will find out.

good thread this.

I have heard a lot about this line through the years, and it seems a lot of lads rated this line the best.

I haven't seen a good border as most my mates kept fells/russel types, though I have dug many times to a 1/2 cross Middleton border dog called Reids Tyke, an oustanding earth dog who always got the job done, and some on here will remember L W Nigger a 1/2 cross dog bred by Lavarokhall that was also a good dog in his day.

 

Breeder hi mate just worked out who you are. Do you still keep the same line of old Middleton lakie? and how does your borders compare as digging dogs to your lakies?

 

Hi mate, yeah still keep the old buggers! Comparing the two is quite difficult - kennel wise, as you know Lakies are prone to fight, this always restricted how many you could keep, thats why I always sold a few back to GM.

My Lakies have always been headstrong and wanted to get stuck in at a young age, whereas the Border's are more laid back and a lot less trouble in the kennel.

Digging wise, this line of Border are excellent finding dogs and they'll stop till there dug to. In that respect there very similar to the Lakies. However the biggest difference that i've found with a Border is after you've dug to your quarry and removed it they will re-enter the same earth and try to find another - their very keen and eager.

As for hardness a couple of the Border's that i've had are a bit too hard, I could only work them four/five times a season.
