I've done lots of research, found a great breeder and mentor who will help me. I found your site looking for grooming tips. I've already named my little boy and his name will be Knox. I'm looking forward to a wonderful adventure with my little guy. I don't have him in my possession yet, but already he is signed up for obedience classes. A great site you have here, full of great information and wonderful pictures! Dan

Myrtle is 3 and half years old, does a tons of tricks, I can tell her to go to sleep and she rolls on her back and snores! She competes in agility, we are now working towards our MX and MXJ , we are a member of a flyball team and she is "thisclose" to becoming a therapy dog, just have to take the final test.

Total Gas Bag! Posts: 3,970 Group: Full Members Member #282 Joined: August 18, 2006	Oh pleeease can you do a video of Myrtle and her tricks? And post some bigger photos so we can get even more lost in admiration for your two beautiful companions? I'd be interested to hear more about your training course and to see if there are any differences between the way puppies are trained "over the pond". I hope you'll really enjoy Terrier Talk. We went intercontinental last year when Jodee joined us from the US and it's wonderful to know our popularity continues to grow! A really warm welcome from me and my Cairns Widget and Pixel.

Squeaker Posts: 35 Group: Full Members Member #836 Joined: July 30, 2009	Well, today is the day I get my new Border Terrier puppy. His daddy is "Lndi's Peter the Great" who was the #1 Border Terrier in America last year, I believe he also went to Westminster. I'm going to start taking a handling class with him so I can show conformation. I've never done it before, wish me luck and any advice will be always appreciated. I suppose I'll have to wear a suit, I'll have to get one of those.

What a stunner. http://www.kugaroo.com/images/PeterBorderline.jpg Edited to add Myrtle looks a study in concentration doesn't she? Talk about focused! :wub: :wub: Edited by piwoodhouse, Jul 31 2009, 10:21 PM.
