Looks well. Mine's not taking any interest at 15 month old, not even a sniff.

[jossa 963]

I have had borders not show interest at all then get to around 2 yr old and it's like someone has flicked a switch. Hope yours comes right for you rob

[gnipper 5,962]

Not interested in anything Rob or going to ground?

He's had rats and a shake on top, never been bitten. But shits himself near an earth.

I have no personal experience but was always told borders usually take a bit longer and for more experienced guys lol

The lad who has the sire says the Levi dogs tend to start early and need holding back. All I can do is give him time.

Som bordors. Are very slow to start off

But back in day som of them where

As mad As any breed and even tick out

When on there job So just try and find

Out how brothers and sister are going

And did they start off

Or if there any older pups around off. Them

That worked out or not then u no som bit

About how things mite go

I've owned a few working borders and they needed holding back not egging on,care should be taken with the entering of all the working terrier breeds but by 2 years old they should be keen very keen to enter a slow entering can be an excuse for poor borders jmho,at 15 months I wouldn't be over worried but I like confident terriers not shaking whimps

Only saw two that had it, dug to one and helped repair it several times after. An old oxcroft rocket dog in the early 80's worked like my solid blacks of the time. " lots if grunting" Loverly dog to handle, just sat there.
