The Breeder 156 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 If people worked them as much as they talked about them on here then there would be some decent one's around.....!It's a forum for discussing terriers, what's your point?? My point is that there is a lot of talk on here about working Borders but not that many decent working Borders around. You cant really know that mate if you think about it. You can only really know there are a lot of none workers,but that can be said of lots of breeds from Patterdales to Cocker spaniels. Its a known fact thats why certain people were trying to revive the working border.As a worker its a dying breed.I know a good few people that breed them and they will tell you.There are some very good working borders around but a lot can't pass on their qualities.Its a great shame as they are a cracking type of terrier. Have you seen a Border working Moorman? Who do you know that breeds workers,are they on this forum? I have seen several Borders working over the years I also know of a few that work and breed Borders The Breeder being one that I will mention as he replies to anything that says border in the thread..! I do enjoy the borders are you having a good season Very good thanks R hows the young border dog shaping up? Would you be interested in a young border bitch ready to go?If so give me a bell. He has been dug to a good few time now and a bit hard but this season will tell. will give you a bell Quote Link to post

jigsaw 11,809 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 in over 30 years of terriers I have never seen 1 work good and proper.id like to but no one down our way has them for work, Quote Link to post
bull mcabe 595 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 In my honest opinion ive never seen a good proper working border they just dont seem to exist around my parts but saying that ive seen plenty of good workers with border in them they seem to improve lines that are just lacking a small bit they add good strength in the head a bit of brain and the ones ive seen wouldnt have been too soft either. 1 Quote Link to post

How were his dogs bred and what happened to them after his death? theres 1 or 2 lads that have his breeding i had a border/lakie bitch 5yr ago with fenners blood in her-almost killed one of my 4yr old black bitches at 11 months old-hard as iron--they dont look like show lines tilly-gave her to a gamekeeper down st aust way-she worked well for a few seasons and was lost to ground.shame because there was good breeding on the border and lakie side of her Quote Link to post
lurchers 2,598 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) jeff feneroli rip nice chap He was a good bloke,I was going to down to his for a couple of digs with my borders until he passed away.i gave him a cracking deerhound/greyhound bitch which he said he had a few people wanting her just for show.but he wouldn't let them have her.i know his borders were hard as nails and like mine they were layed up healing more times than you would of liked to get them out.
