Title: Border Terriers - Looking for a Breeder
Post by: Scunner on October 31, 2012, 19:00:21 PM
Just on the off chance that we have a CBF member who is a Border Terrier breeder (or a little more possible that they know one) - does anyone?

Very frustrating each time we track one down - all spoken for already, or died during birth :( or something else. Chasing adverts doesn't seem to work so I'm looking to get in early, if anyone knows of anyone - cheers. Have charabanc will travel...

Once I've got one, I'll consider breeding it, seems you can't fail :D

p.s. I know all the websites thanks  :)

A puppy for breeding???  That does give me an angry face!  Lots of rescue dogs around that need a loving home!  Am I missing something here???   >:(

You are missing the fact that I am asking if anyone knows a breeder, not for people to pass their moral judgement over what I am asking about. If I want a dog to breed from I'll get one and if I want a rescue dog I'll decide to get one.

For the record, I mentioned (tongue in cheek) that I might breed from it to highlight how quick you have to be to get one - because it appears that all the breeders of Border Terriers have no problems getting £400 to £600 for as many as the breed produce. Nice work if you can get it.

I obviously missed the tongue in cheek bit then!!!  The thread could obviously give unscrupulous people reading this ideas!  Shame!   :(

Yes that is how puppy farms start, people reading posts about someone wanting a dog.

I hope you get one Keith, if theres a particular breed that you want why not? We have always preferred Cavaliers KC spaniels and have travelled to the dark side( manchester) to get one from a particular breeder so I know how you feel! We were less specifc with our last mutt as we wanted a companion for the cav( hence the cavfan- get it!) and rehomed a westie from a website called 'preloved'! best thing we ever did! Shes adorable, clever, bright willfull and very yappy!
We once posted a little video on facebook of ours dancing to Kylie- we received some very unpleasant comments so much so we had to remove the video! We were doing no harm to the creature, she is well loved and cared for- has a very waggy tale but because there happened to be a glass of wine in shot that clearly indicated we were drunk in charge of a defensless animal! There'll always someone to have a pop! Shaun deleted them off facebook!

Thank you Maria - we had a Border before the kids were born and we both absolutely love them. It's what we have decided on and I'd happily take a homeless one or a blind one or a three legged one - sadly all such searches have so far been fruitless.

We have found a litter not too far from us, so for now thanks to all, no more suggestions or lectures required.

Terriers, great pets, real characters, true companions.  I hope you find yours, maybe two  :)

Borders in my view are the best looking (as in the face/head) dog going, however we keep Lakeland Fell Terriers, originally bred to go into a fox/badger den and kill its prey (other terriers bred to chase prey out).  In the house the perfect pet dog - very good alarm dogs, but get them out and hard as nails on the fell.

Good luck with the Border.
