Benny684 0 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hi wi11ow. Well I want a bushing dog but just not too sure what to go for. Need a terrier that will get along with my lurcher. And have limited space were I'm living at the moment I understand it's better and more efficient having a pack but for me that will be at a later date. Quote Link to post

skycat 6,172 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 My former boss in pest control has always had Borders: they worked cover very well, ferreted superbly with great calmness and concentration, worked the beat out shooting, and even went to ground on occasion! Not that he wanted them as earth dogs 2 Quote Link to post

matt1979 766 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 My brother owns 2 borders and they are used solely for bushing to the gun and lurchers. They are getting on a bit now but have been decent enough little dogs and good natured things. One is defiantly more useful than the other, neither have shown any real interest in going to ground but in fairness have never been encouraged to either cheers Quote Link to post

TOMO 24,874 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I don't claim to know feck all about terriers,,,but I have a border here and she really is very good at her job,,her nose is superb,,and so far she hasn't dropped to ground,,,wich is a blessing cos it's billy city where I live,,,,of course you could argue that's it's not a proper working terrier cos of not going to ground,,,but that suits me fine 10 Quote Link to post
