Oxcroft borders

[obi2 241]

Diea anyone here work there borders from this line. My oldest is from this stuff and is a cracking worker. Great nose, obedient, game and retrieves from water when shooting and goes to ground and is a bayer. I have a young dog near enough the exact breeding that is a bit slower in coming on and has only just started getting his nose down at 18 mnth where the bitch entered to ground around 10 -11 mnth herself. Curios to how other digs from this line are doing. Atb

Could be wrong but its show stuff , jp loves his shows.

If you look on the puppy peddling sites, bumtree etc, oxcroft is A bigging selling point

my mate was left a brother and sister from same litter and we worked them to ground-the dog was reckless and very hard-sadly died in a kennel fight-rip reily.the bitch was bred to an old j.fenerolli dog and my mate kept a dog pup.sadly the bitch was lost at around the 4yr old mark r.i.p. bracken.the pup didnt make it as an all out earth dog but would bolt the odd fox form easy places-he was given to another mate who used him with the hawks and ferrets-and in fairness was spot on a real tidy little dog.unfortunatly he went missing and was shot by local farmer after he had left dead sheep all in the fences according to the farmer-a pack of lies-when asked to show proof he had none.more than likley saw the dog walking home and picked him up and shot him back at the farm-dog had 1 shot back of his head as if he had been sat with back to you for a scratch then BANG-dog had no other marks on him-funny would of thought he would have been pepperd with shot if he had been worrying sheep?r.i.p Troy-sadly this line is gone-real shame as they would work and were tidy dogs.brother and sister were oxcroft breeding-also won a few local shows-(watch the judges face when he felt the dogs chin-big smile and nod-lol)i myself do like a working border and hope that theres people out there who care more about breeding for work than pound notes atb bobby
