shell 42 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) This is a picture of 'Hope' our new Border Terrier pup. 10 weeks old. She's out of one of our gamest bitches, to a working dog from York. She's bred out of an old fashioned working strain. Malc went for a mooch out the other day and came home with a dozen rabbits. Showed one to the pup, which locked on, and wasn't for letting go - physically lifted off the ground while holding on to the rabbit - much to our daughters amusement! One of Malcs whippers-in with the Beagles has had terriers and lurchers all his life, and has never seen a Border pup as forward as her. To be honest, in all the pups we've bred, neither have we! Absolutely chuffed to bits with her! With the rabbit... And lay on a cushion acting all innocent! Oh she's called Hope because her aunt is called Glory!!!

shell 42 Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Steve66 - she goes back to old fashioned Dandyhow lines. Dog side goes back to Valmyre Magician of Dandyhow, April Fool and April Noddy, some of the older Oxcroft lines, some Riverworth, grandparents are from the Intack kennels. Bitch side - her mother and grandmother both have Working Certificates, she goes back to some Hollinholme (working strain), Raebrunfoot Royal Mail, and back to the older Dandyhow lines. shell Quote Link to post
