My beloved Border Terrier, Rosalita Puchini , sadly passed away at 15 years , 21 months ago . She was such a wonderful family member ... my husband passed 6 months before her . She stayed alive to be a comfort to me . I have had the pleasure of having a dog my whole life , but I can honestly say , this breed is the absolute best . I think it is time , this spring to welcome another Border into my life . Wonderful video !
Thank you so much for acknowledging my loss . My life circumstances have changed , as I do not feel it’s the right time to have a new pup … I am not home enough to give one all the attention and Love it truly deserves . Hopefully in the near future this will change . 🙏
My husband and I have a 17yo named Kenzo. He is deaf and blind and is dealing with cancer, but even with all his issues he couldn’t be happier. He is old and we know he’ll soon be gone, so we just love him and spoil him for as long as he has left. An amazing dog! Update: Kenzo lived another two years before we had to say goodbye at the age of 19. We cherished our time with him and miss him every day.
how much did your dog bark? I wish to adopt one but I live in a block of flats. Although my flat is very large and I have time to take the dog out for lots of walks
Our 3rd & current Border Terrier was bred by Mike & his sweet wife Jan. We can never thank them enough. She is the sweetest border we have owned & is delightful with other dogs. We are very proud owners. She's a devil for hunting though. Never underestimate a Border Terriers prey drive. It's always there.😊
A native Californian, I've only seen one once. But at that one meeting I was struck by how compact and beautifully balanced that Border was and now want one.
It's a good description. Couple that with their beautiful temperament and fun ways they are a fine dog to have. Everything this guy says is pretty much true on my own experience.
@@karenfromfinasse8430 Obviously he meant refuses to eat unless its in the cage meaning of course that the dog prefers to eat in its cage. Splitting hairs really, the man is just a keen dog owner speaking as he finds about his dogs , not a professional broadcaster and should be watched as such. If we pick out minor issues then thats nothing, just a matter of taste or opinion. I think he does a decent job of it really.
@@CelticMorning I get the meaning. It was only in jest. She asked a rhetorical question and I gave a rhetorical answer. I couldn't help but point out the humour in that statement. They are lovely looking Borders I agree.
I live in Northumberland where the breed hails from and I'm the proud owner of a male Border Terrier called Alfie and I used to have a female Border Terrier called Bex who sadly passed on a couple of years ago. I can't say enough about the breed, I would highly recommend a Border Terrier to anyone and if you're prepared to give them a warm, loving home they'll repay you with loyalty, friendship and respect. Great video as well 👍
My Border Terrier Emma recently passed away at the age of 13. The best dog ever. Full of energy, love. Long story short: the best breed ever
6 років тому+4
I had a cross terrier... black and tanned.. I've just had to put him to sleep.. he was about 15 or 16 years old... he was the best dog I've ever had... I don't think I'll get a dog like mine again... he was really a super pooch.. I'll miss him dearly. .
You have described the behaviour of my Border, Ellie, perfectly. We adopted her as a rescue dog (her owners couldn't cope?) nearly four years ago and she has been an absolute joy. I cannot imagine being without her. As you say, you do need to understand that they will run if distracted and off the lead but other than this this she has been a wonderful companion.
I am the proud owner of a beautiful border terrier who strayed into me , clearly abused, bad eye and ear . He is an absolutely beautiful dog , so timid and so loving . My niece who is now nine has grown up with him and she was cuddled him and lied beside him and all he has ever done is shown affection to her . Sadly a member of my family passed away leaving a mini Yorkie behind , which I now have taken in and he took to him straight away , they love each other . Mickey has a heart condition and I am dreading the day he leaves me , he is the love of my life x
We adopted a dog and everyone says she looks like a Border Terrier. Her Mom is a Wheaton Terrier, but we don't know her Dad, her face looks exactly like a Border Terrier. After watching this I am thrilled, she has so many of the traits that you described. We are madly in love with her and she is lovely.
We believe our rescue dog is a border terrier, based on her look and behavior. When you mentioned the jaw jutting out I laughed - she has a VERY distinctive underbite (as we say in the USA)! This dog is extremely smart, energetic, sweet, playful and loyal. We are very lucky to have her 🥰
We've just gone from a 16 and a half year old Jack Russell (passed away 4 months ago), to a border terrier. We absolutely love the new dog, such a different personality.
Brilliant dogs. My Flora LOVES her toys and I play for hours with her and her toys. She gets all excited when She gets a new one. She has never destroyed a toy. She is the best wee dog ever. She has had tummy issues and only eats when she feels like it.
My first dog was a Border Terrier. I was surprised that he never showed any interest in the squirrels that passed through our yard, but a couple times on trips we came across some wild rabbits and, although he stayed calm and with me, he perked right up and gave them all his attention! I can also confirm that he didn't really want to "fetch." If you threw a toy for him he would bring it back, and he'd drop it if you told him to, but he'd really much rather you try to take it from him in a game of "keep away" or "tug of war."
I am making enquiries now with border terrier breeders in Ontario. My vet says he has none in the practice currently but did say they are intelligent active and loyal. A lovely breed he says. This is helpful...thank you.
I had three odd looking pups show up at my property one morning . they were friendly but kept their distance. one of them stood out to me because of his color and he looked so happy to be alive. I had to go to work and I wasn't in the market for another dog [responsibility] when I got home, they had went on and I was relieved. after several days past I was out in the yard and heard a horribly sad wail coming from a dog. I walked out into the woods to investigate and it was the dog that had caught my eye. there were no signs of his two siblings. as soon as he seen me he bolted into the woods. I started leaving food close to where he had been laying when I saw him. for the first few days he hadn't eaten any food. but I could hear him wailing off out in the woods somewhere. this is turning into a book so I'll cut it short. he finally started taking the food and the wailing stopped after a week of non stop. after weeks of feeding him he began to come up to the house but he wouldn't let anyone touch him. it was 3 months before he one day trotted past me and stopped ,rolled over and allowed me to pat him on the side. I suspected that someone had shot his siblings and tried to shoot him as well. he quickly stole my heart and became a family member. I later discovered from our vet that he looked like a border terrier except that he has a curve in his tail. he is a mix. he is unlike any dog we've ever had. Oh yes, his name is BOO because he was afraid of his own shadow when he first arrived here.
I have two boys that I am looking 4 them a 4evr home. They r border/Boston Terrier. Fawn /reddish blonde... they r great little gentlemen. Gary is very loving and wants to be the best he knows. Very smart and he is very vocal when he's hungry or I was gone for to long from home. Lol he tells me all about what his brothers and mom did while I was gone. Wonderful breed and perfect size.
I have two Borders. They're uncle and nephew and adore each other but are chalk and cheese. I love the fact that they're not a fancy breed and are lots of fun and have immense personality. I love em!!
I have a pure border called chester he's 9 now this breed by far is one of the most loving! He's a great companion and I've never had any problems with him!
Thanks for video, we have always had Jack Russell's in the past. We decided to have a change and get a Border Terrier (or two) which we have, two girls. They are three months old at the moment and are are lovely and mad as you would expect. We are getting on a bit and they make sure that we are tired at bed time, no ifs or buts they are great for making sure that you sleep at night as they run us ragged, great terriers.
We bought our dog Stan from the Hollingsbee’s nearly 13 years ago and he’s still as fit as a fiddle and the most placid tolerant dog. Can’t imagine owning another breed. Pretty sure Sam featured in this video is his sire.
Just lost my best boy Rocky 3 weeks ago at age 14 1/2. Perfect health until April 2021... Started having seizures. Otherwise totally healthy, lovable, friendly, .... Miss his sweet furry puppy face. Hoping that someday I can get another, although I am torn between that and getting a rescue pitbull, there are so many good dogs out there that need a home
We adopted a 7 year old and have two adult cats. I watched this video right when we adopted Cooper and I was scared. Our male cat smacked Cooper on the nose day one and that was it, he was fine with him from that moment on. He chased our female cat for about 4 months, because she was scared and would run. When she became confident, Cooper completely ignored her and now we are all one big happy family. From this video, I thought it would never happen but I guess we beat the odds.
I had a borderterrier for 17 years. Best companion and friend ive ever had and i will always miss him dearly. Great hunting dog we used him to hunt moose and deer. when he was 12 he hurt himself and we retired him, but he lived a happy healthy life for 5 more years after that. also had a border terrier whose life got cut short after 5 years due to an traffic accident. he had abit more aggressive manor but was a great dog still. but same things applie to him. I agree with almost everything here but the eating.. I dont know if it was because we spoiled them from time to time with good food, but we could always have a bowl of dogfood and they would only eat if they were hungry.. but they were both really good at sitting at the table wanting our food. which they rarley got I may say, but when they did get a slice it was the best. I want to add i grew up with the one of 17 years and had him from age 11-28.. He was a great friend
Y'all border terriers are different than mine. Mine was from a shelter but looks just like a border terrier except slightly more wirey around his face and an underbite. Never as excited as these, never made a sound in his life even when we brought in other dogs who liked to bark. He'd greet you by bringing you a stuffed animal. Didn't like cuddles but he'd tolerate it with children. He spent his days patrolling the house to keep the rats away. We didn't really have many rats but this dog 100% was devoted to his job. Wish I could find another like him.
Great informative video. Lovely clips of the dogs. I’m hoping to bring home my first BT in a couple of months so am lapping up every video I can find. This is by far the best.
Informative and funny! Came here to see a bit of border terries since ours passed away about a year ago. He had a lovely personality and had all the typical traits you described, especially the appetite! One time I hade gone out of the kitchen for a moment and somehow he got onto the dinner table and ate a whole stack of around 20 pancakes and a full package of butter😋
Yup, easy to train mine, like you said they can be stubborn and not do it the next day. Same with fetching, unless she's in the mood then she'll simply chase after the ball, pick it up, shake it, and then drop it instead of bringing it back. But all in all, she's a happy little thing, trying to get her used to other dogs when out walking
All 3 of my BTs accepted cats. The first was 10. She accepted 3 cats into her pack! They would curl up together. My first two were great eaters but the third has always been digestively challenged, so getting her to eat is always interesting.
Hello Mike, I’m looking for the perfect dog breed for me & my daughter and was 90% set on a border terrier. After watching this wonderfully, informative video I am now 100% set on having one as part of our family. Throughly enjoyed this, you make a brilliant presenter. Regards from Dublin.
My border terriers were totally obedient, providing I was doing what they wanted. In old-age they lost most of their sight and hearing but could hear a crumb break and catch it before it hit the floor despite appearing to be asleep.
I have had three over the years Basil..Oswald and now Alfred. Wonderful dogs. So intelligent and seem to know exactly what's going on ...where we are going...when we have reached their favourite place etc. Have also learnt that you cannot pull the wool over their eyes...or tell them off !
Thank you for this video as we are looking to get one and this was all the info we needed, had a Bedlington whippet and he was awesome but for our new family member we wanted something with a similar temperament but smaller, thanks again 👍🏻
We got our Charlie at 6 months old because his jaw was a bit undershot. Glad for the "defect" because his breeder couldn't show him! He's six now. Best dog ever. Of course this is coming off of having a JRT for 17 years - naughty!
My border terrier passed away around 18 years old. We found him as a stray and had him for 16 years and assumed he was around 2-3. He was a strong athletic dog that would constantly kill racoons and foxes that killed our chickens. Only problem was that he wasn't really protecting them... He just wanted them for himself and would eat one every few weeks.
Agree with virtually everything you said i have 2 now and previously had a litter broth and sister fit as lops though i have found that they sometimes get poorly stomachs. Your dogs look grand and most important happy congratulations
They are the greatest little dogs.affectionate,fun ,mine love everyone ,children and other dogs. they are the best.I have two.and I have the greatest time with them.
That eating part doesn’t apply to my border terrier who eats just the sufficient amount needed for him to be full. That being said, all the other things mentioned pretty much apply to him. Cheers for a great video!
I am trying to find the breed to my dog. I lived in a trailer home full of dogs with no home. This particular one caught my attention out of all the bunch I fed and he seemed abused bc he wouldn’t come near and was very jumpy. I moved and he knew I was leaving and jumped into my car. Literally jumped I was so teary the first time I left bc I was broken bc I didn’t know if anyone owned him and I wouldn’t want to take him away but second time I came back he hopped on and didn’t want me to leave without him. Anywho I tried finding his breed and this is the most accurate. Brought me so much joy to have a name as to what he is. Sad to see so many people are adopting bc why would anyone have left these awesome dogs in the first place!! He definitely does get distracted and RUNS but he always come back. I feel he has so many gestures that are human like !! He totally understands me and it shocks me how well behaved he is and how much love he gives. If you are thinking of owning one. Definitely do it
Great video, thanks 👍. I will get a Border when i retire in 5 years time. I prefer the dark colour, like the one in this video, I've heard that the dark colour fades after 2 to 3 years though.

They truly are the best breed of dog. Up to 17/18 years of loyal companionship with no health issues. I recommend BTs time and time again.

Why would anyone give this really nice video a thumbs down, honestly.
Possibly because he said, "One of our bitches refuses to eat unless she's got food in the cage" lol

People don't know the proper word for a female dog, and think it's a swear word. That's most likely it.

Best dogs in the world, and ideal for the winters in Scotland too! Hardy wee souls !
After the Glenn of Imal, Border Terrier is my favorite mix. Such good care
I have two Borders. They're uncle and nephew and adore each other but are chalk and cheese.
I love the fact that they're not a fancy breed and are lots of fun and have immense personality.
I love em!!

My border terrier not once started breast feeding a starving cat, when we where on holidays at a cabin 😊. Really lovely dogs

The best dogs EVER
Very good film and a very good breed of dog.
What a very informative video. We rescued our beautiful Molly from a breeder and she has been fantastic. ..Borders are truly wonderful dogs
Wonderful video thank you!
Great video. Thanks. I'm enjoying my Border Terrier, she's so friendly & loving - so well behaved. She loves hunting rabbits and chasing them too.
Best breed ever.
Lovely dogs, good video thanks
Thanks.. a lot of useful information - well done!
Indeed the best breed in the world
Describes my Luna exactly. Love Borders. Thanks for sharing.
Your "dog breed videos" are the best! Could you make more? :D
I love the English comment "They'll eat for England" :-)
My border terriers were totally obedient, providing I was doing what they wanted. In old-age they lost most of their sight and hearing but could hear a crumb break and catch it before it hit the floor despite appearing to be asleep.
Fabulous dog
I have had three over the years
Basil..Oswald and now Alfred. Wonderful dogs. So intelligent and seem to know exactly what's going on ...where we are going...when we have reached their favourite place etc. Have also learnt that you cannot pull the wool over their eyes...or tell them off !
can you leave them alone in the home for up to 4-6 hours?
We have two and heir behaviour fits yours exactly. wonderful little dogs.
Thank you for this video as we are looking to get one and this was all the info we needed, had a Bedlington whippet and he was awesome but for our new family member we wanted something with a similar temperament but smaller, thanks again 👍🏻
Greetings from Germany! This is Pelle!
I have a boder.terrier he's called Buster he's never bit and he's so nice
Ava Bolton our Border boy is also called Buster too haha. He’s such a character and is just gorgeous natured ;)
Same I have one named buster
We got our Charlie at 6 months old because his jaw was a bit undershot. Glad for the "defect" because his breeder couldn't show him! He's six now. Best dog ever. Of course this is coming off of having a JRT for 17 years - naughty!
I agree! Love my border!
Great little dogs, I love them 👍
I am considering one...this is great info.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video I have a border x bedlington what i rescued from a puppy farm she is a fantastic dog
Great video I’ve got 6 of them
Nicely put together and down to earth video.
Agreed, the best breed period!
My border terrier passed away around 18 years old. We found him as a stray and had him for 16 years and assumed he was around 2-3. He was a strong athletic dog that would constantly kill racoons and foxes that killed our chickens. Only problem was that he wasn't really protecting them... He just wanted them for himself and would eat one every few weeks.
Agree with virtually everything you said i have 2 now and previously had a litter broth and sister fit as lops though i have found that they sometimes get poorly stomachs. Your dogs look grand and most important happy congratulations
Wheaten....very rare but I've seen one! Mike is a good friend of mine....
Very informative video - thanks. We've had Dexter for 7 years and got him after relatives had their Border, Jack. They are lovely little dogs
Our borders adooooore their cats! Your dogs are very cute!
I have 2 border sisters had them them a year such fun Sally is the sense able one and Rosie is a clown love them to bits
I love my border girl. Adopted from my grandparents (grandma not alive. Grandpa in nursey home) they are stubborn but sweet little buggers. 😄
They are the greatest little dogs.affectionate,fun ,mine love everyone ,children and other dogs. they are the best.I have two.and I have the greatest time with them.
Got one she is everything to me ...great dog .
That eating part doesn’t apply to my border terrier who eats just the sufficient amount needed for him to be full. That being said, all the other things mentioned pretty much apply to him. Cheers for a great video!
Excellent information on this darling dog.
Aww he is so precious
I am trying to find the breed to my dog.
I lived in a trailer home full of dogs with no home. This particular one caught my attention out of all the bunch I fed and he seemed abused bc he wouldn’t come near and was very jumpy.
I moved and he knew I was leaving and jumped into my car. Literally jumped I was so teary the first time I left bc I was broken bc I didn’t know if anyone owned him and I wouldn’t want to take him away but second time I came back he hopped on and didn’t want me to leave without him.
Anywho I tried finding his breed and this is the most accurate. Brought me so much joy to have a name as to what he is.
Sad to see so many people are adopting bc why would anyone have left these awesome dogs in the first place!! He definitely does get distracted and RUNS but he always come back. I feel he has so many gestures that are human like !! He totally understands me and it shocks me how well behaved he is and how much love he gives.
If you are thinking of owning one. Definitely do it
Really usefully video. Thank you
Our new pup is with a jack Russell perfect
Orlando fla here sorry for ur loss , they are human.
Great video, thanks 👍.
I will get a Border when i retire in 5 years time. I prefer the dark colour, like the one in this video, I've heard that the dark colour fades after 2 to 3 years though.
4:19 this is what happened to our Border when she was a pup. Now they get along just fine.
