I think we are worlds apart lad i was offered 1200 pound for my border bitch she is bred the same way . But would not take it agood gun dog line are fetching good money so if you are passionate about the breed and the WORKING side , and breeding good honest WORKING border pups instead of flooding the market with non workers. It take a long time to get a good line but so very easy to lose it
Back in 1978 i payed pounds for very well bred lakeland dog pup and travelled 600 miles round trip if you wont the breeding to better your line you must make sacrificeis my weekly wage was about 25 to 30 pound a lad i know has just pay over a 1000 pound for VERY well bred and a very good WORKING line of Border the dog is about 9 year old he is not only a very good WORKER himself but produces WORKERS so if you can find agood working line of terrier grab it and pay your money because there are not many good working lines out there
Back in the days of Zeb Tim Nettle Jock spike Rock Flint Jewel Patsy Rip Rags all were good looking and would win in the show ring but f--k me they all could WORK
Breeder where did his line originate from, was it stuff local to him?
Sid Wilkinson Rock and Anthony Barker Rock and other dogs of that line two local and very good terrier men
