    There was talk on here a few weeks ago about trying to start a working border club or forum so there is intrest for it but the easiest option is to get talking to people here who work them and help each other out when it comes to looking for studs,pups etc

    I think if the people who are working their Borders all keep in touch and stick together passing working bloodlines on to each other the breed can only improve but we need to help each other out n get in touch with each other on here.

    At the end of the day it is what it is. There 350-450 for a border and ideally everyone would like it to be cheaper but in my opinion your getting a biddable, versatile laid back dog that can be hard when need be and quiet the rest of the time unlike alot of other terrier breeds that are used for specifically the one job.

    They only get slated by the people that have to take there terriers out on a leash all the time and haven't got the patience to wait a bit longer to enter them. I can't fault them for an all round working dog!

    "never seen a working one" how can you say there jibbers then?? I wouldn't say any breed were a pile of shite until I had seen at least a few working!!

    My view is the exact same as yours lurchers, everyone goes on about "lines" and worker to worker so just wondering what there preference would be if it was there only option.

    If you had to pick a dog what would your first choice be? A dog from two good working parents but not from a line of workers or a dog from non working parents but a good working line?

    Great dogs in my opinion and very biddable. I had always fancied one but had the same problem of finding one from working parents. In the end I had to pay £450 for mine as that was the only way as it seems there all round about that price range. It wasn't from working parents but there were workers in the bloodline so I took the chance, brought it up in a hunting environment and put lots of time and effort in and taking it out and letting it see as much as possible and it all payed of when she went to ground at around 14 mnth old on without much coaxing and we dug down to a small vixen.

    Anyone working borders on here, add me and keep in touch through the season. How there getting on, updates of your dogs, how much work your getting and stuff and even get days out with them. When it comes to breeding better workers were all in touch and making it alot easier than it is just now.

    thats alright saying that if you have your small groups to work them in. a club would give people an oppertunity to form there groups with the option of bringing in new blood when needed.

    thanks mate, trying to find a decent pair for a decent price

    Your right dotty, ok they don't have to be a border owner but obviously they must have an intrest in working them and helping them get noticed as digging/working dogs again or it would just be a terrier club.
  23. obi2
    how would you go about setting up a club. a club where it was only genuine working borders, where the members can keep in touch with how there dogs are doing and can organise days out with members to show your dogs working and to see others working. i have noticed ( myself included) that because its so hard to find genuine working stuff to own or to breed from that you just take people word for it that there workers and hope for the best. if you seen a number of borders working then you are in the position to pick and choose the dog which attributes best suited you for the next genaration. if
