nuv 2 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 ya hes a full bred ikc reg.... you sure 4 is to young to work iv heard of 12 mnth dogs working Surely not Borders that young? As I said earlier, there's may Border experts on here but I'm not sure if they have ever had a dog successfully enter at all. Plummer's books should help you, although his field of expertise wasn't really earth-dogs. Quote Link to post
