I hand strip every time. Cheap... easy... and ya get a better job done.

Why has she changed the pups food ? A sudden change of food will give a pup the shits. A gradual change in diet should be done over about a 5 or 6 days.

Or perhaps there are a few more good digging borders out there, but none of the owners can be arsed with all the hastle and shit comments that come their way as soon as they mention "BORDERS". Any topic about borders on this site usually ends up with someone slagging off someone else.

There are far too many people wanting something for nothing nowadays . If i have to buy in a terrier i'm quite happy to do so, if that's what needs to be done. If somebody with surplus stock wants to sell off a terrier or two, good luck to 'em. It aint cheap rearing a healthy litter of pups. As long as the breeder plans on keeping a pup to "better" his stock i personaly don't see a problem with moving on pups for a few £££.

The biggest Vaccine supplier in the UK is Intervet. In all probability it will be their vaccine that will be used when you visit your Vet. Intervet clearly state, and have done for some time. The main vaccines should not be more than once every three years.

Just done my litter at 8, 10 & 12 weeks. By the sound of it, most vets are doing 3 jabs now because of the new strains of lepto that are about.

Cheers mate. Looks like there's some fun times ahead.

He's the second one i've had off Jack and many moons ago i took up a bitch for a mating with Rogue and kept a blue n tan dog pup. I know some don't rate them but Oxcroft certainly have plenty of spirit and they do ok for me. This was my little Oxcroft bitch. Heart of a lion and no reverse gear.

Obi2, the bitch i had from my local hunt kennels. They had 4 Borders in service, and well worked. The sire is Oxcroft. Mostly bushing done these days but both parents are up for a charlie or two. I havn't got much in the way of digging done for the last year or so, so like desertdog says they must be flexible or i wouldn't have much to do. If the 2 pups i've kept back are as keen as their parents i'll be well chuffed. I didn't have much of a choice with the pups as only 1 of the bitches survived. The little weedy one only lasted a few hours, she was a blue n tan aswell. Shame but shit happens.

Nice strong looking pups dude. Here's mine which are 3 weeks older. I've kept the blue bitch & my son has got the blue dog. All the best with your little bitch.

How's those pups coming on mate.

Stay clear of the shit they sell in pet shops.

I've just done a litter of Border Terrier pups at 2, 5 and 8 weeks with panacur 10%. It's got to be done over 3 days each time and not a worm in sight. It's safe for pups and is much cheaper for 100ml buying it on-line.

Same here mate.
