Coyotehunter 689 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I have some working Borders, many people nowadays want instant gratification, and more often than not you dont get that with a Border, they take time sadly very few people want to spend the time LMP38428 by foxhound51, on Flickr 1 Quote Link to post

billybear 32 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I have two young dogs I am going to try this year towards the end of the season they will be present on our hunt this year to see what is asked of them they are making good progress. Took me an absolute age to track a breeder down who didn't want stupid money for sh@t found a guy who's name was passed onto me buy a friend a managed to get two pups off him for 300 pound both parents are grafters this was vouched for before I even made a call to him. So there is a few about but it's a mine field of ppl who want to pull ya pants down. Quote Link to post
alimac 882 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I fecking hate to admit it, as iv never been a lover of them, but we have 2 here that we've got to get going, told they were from "working stock" lol, they look like fecking show dogs, any way got one going that hadn't seen a thing, flew to ground, no hesitation, did its job spot on, couldn't have asked for better, didn't like eating my words though, but on the up side we've got it on long term loan now so will see how he fairs this year!

lukey 1,621 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) There could be people out there still keeping and working lines of Border terrier but I dont think there will be alot. As for the people who say they are out to keep the working side of the Border going then try selling pups on for daft money are just talking shite and in it for the money! Not trying to slate borders as Iv never had or seen one work and dont doubt there is some. If anyone out there is trying to keep the working border going and wants to gift a pup from working parents then ive room here for one but wont hold my breath.
