[Closed] Border Terrier Question

I like the idea of a small dog with a big attitude to life

Then you'll not go far wrong - Ted, our border, is a top little chap.
A quick read up on the breed will tell you they were brought in to being to join the hunt - able to run with the horses for the day, digging out foxes that had gone to ground - hence their stamina, strength and (if pushed) their ability to punch well beyond their weight - nowt to do with small dog syndrome at all
Ted does need stripping (loose hair pulled out, find someone who does know what they're doing), don't have them clipped, ruins their coat.
They are kind of catlike though - your best mate when they want something / want to cuddle up. Not your mate at all when they get a scent they just have to follow. Ted is rarely off the lead yet - though i'd say that is 99% down to us, not him, he needs more focused training in that area 🙂

I so want one a BT but the other half won't let me as we are both at work all day 🙁

Hey John, that first photo...Molly does this weird thing of touching the back of my left calf with the ball when she's got it - not to give it back to me or anything, but to let me know she has it or something...to be honest I haven't really got a clue what she's doing. Everybody thinks it hilarious when they see her doing it.

Archie do something similar?

He sure does and he doesn't understand the word "drop", he holds on to it for dear life. To get it off him I've got to use at least two other tennis balls as he can hold onto 2 of them as the same time.

Archie is never alone for more than 5 hours a day 5 day's a week, any more isn't fair as they need at least two x hour long walks a day and ano hour pay time in the evening.

As much as I like Borders, I'll chuck in a curveball by recommending a Springer. Ours is amazing, so soft, but absolutely bananas, albeit in a good way. He's asleep in front of the fire at the moment, not a care in the world.
