Guest SJM Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I was on a dig today with a mate of mine who keeps borders, you can only say what you see on the day and the wee dog went to ground, stayed til dug to and did the job. Smart looking wee dog with a nice temperament too. This lad has had borders for about 10 years and never had one that hasnt worked, he brings them along slowly and surely with lots of confidence building on trapped squirrels/rats/ferals and then enters them to fox when he feels theyre ready. It seems to work for him so far anyway. I gave 2 pups from my last litter to a guy who is out digging every week, sometimes 2/3 times a week, he is going to give them a go and see how they get on, same story, taking them along on digs when theyre old enough, letting them have a rag at the end etc. It would be nice to think there are working borders out there as they seem to take a lot of stick on these forums.
