WGD Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 As long as its a border terrier and not a border collie there shouldn't be too much of a mis-match should there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) why?... to keep a pup fine, but just because you fancy breeding then NO i often think im harsh when people want to breed but you need to be %100 that you realy must. i would just buy another dog and dont add to the all ready flooded market in terriers. it also depends what people class as work, i class lawful underground terrier work as work. Alot dont, and think bunny chasing is sorry to be negative if i was breeding i would use a patterdale, the best lines are closely bred and kept within a family line, not out crossing to a differnt terrier type Edited July 31, 2012 by washerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
