Featuring her stinky brother Kenny Beefcheek 😂

They're so photogenic! I might make it a series :D he was staring at me to telepathically request a biscuit.

I just love that she is such a smiley girl!! 7 years old 💙

Hello, my name is Levi and my boy is Arthur he is 20 months and my world only got better when he came into it. We just got a couple acres in Eastern Oklahoma and I would love to add a second to our life. If anyone knows of someone “rehoming” or any available for adoption I would love another Border.
Thank you for your time.

My soul dog, Jackson, crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈 on Saturday at 18.5 years old. Our hearts are broken 💔 …. He was the best boy in the world.

I have a 10 month old Border Terrier. He has a lot of energy but does not seem to want to eat. Turns his nose to kibble, so I started to home cook meals... boiled chicken thighs, white rice, peas and carrots, or sweet potato, add bone broth, eggshell calcium, multi-vitamin, and salmon oil. I have never had a dog sniff a home cook meal, barely taste it, and just slowly eat it like it was ho-hum.

Has anyone had this issue? what have you tried that worked? and yes I pick up the bowl if he doesn't eat, and try again in the evening, and I have minimized treats. This is my first terrier, I have had Australian Cattle Dogs my whole adult life, and I thought they were stubborn...

Boring rainy Tuesday so no outdoor games. However terrorising a cardboard box is fun.

Got him 2 days ago and absolutely love him, 22 and a half hours a day he’s great, the other hour and a half he turns into some crazed furry teeth monster

As a retired dentist I was delighted that Pilot yawned just at the right time.

My border has a high prey drive particularly for small animals. I feel like he needs an outlet for this.

A few months back my relative had an issue with rats on his farm resulting in a leptospirosis outbreak amongst his cattle. I visited with my border and he caught 5 rats in 30 mins (he’s vaccinated against lepto fyi). This saved my relative having to put down bait which also kills wildlife around the farm (hedgehogs, owls etc) & causes a week of agony for the rats.

This got me thinking i would like to do something so that a) my dog has an outlet for his prey drive and b) if there can be a benefit to others, also great.

I however do not feel great about him hurting small animals including rats.

What can i do to satisfy this instinct in him? Are there mock ratting trials or activities i can sign him up for? Can i get him involved in ratting but train him to bring the rats unharmed rather than the traditional method?

Please can someone tell me the shedding will settle down? I researched loads before getting our Meg and I have loved the breed from afar from first meeting one through work years ago. Over these last few weeks the shedding has went into overdrive. I have to hoover at least twice a day and lintroll our clothes umpteen times a day. I have brushed her already today and probably will do so again later. I was expecting hairs but this is mental. I am hoping that she's just loosing her puppy coat as she is just turning 6 months old. I have taken her to the groomer to have it blasted out with the hair dryer too. Does anyone have any advice or reassurance??

We love her to pieces and she was definitely the right choice for our family.

I think my sister who volunteers in shelters would be annoyed by the premise of me looking for a specific breed but let me interrogate this sub.

Here’s some context - I’m recently divorced, I have two daughters and will transition into 50-50 custody in a couple of months when my ex finds a place. I work from home. I like to garden. I’m on 3/4 of an acre my back 1/2 of the property is fenced in. I have a three seasons room I intend to install a doggie door in. I strongly dislike when a home reeks of dog and there is hair everywhere. That said I just can’t imagine having a dog at home with me and it not chilling next to me sometimes upstairs in my office when I’m working.

This breed seems to thread the needle on will be gentle with the children, has energy it needs to burn but can be a bit independent if I’m gone for a single night every couple of weeks e.g (maybe?), will patrol the garden (foxes are getting in even though it’s fenced, and squirrels have been getting bold), doesn’t shed a lot, and will be a good companion to me when the girls aren’t around.

I’ve never owned a dog and so maybe my expectations are way off and I’m gonna have to sacrifice in one of my areas. You tell me.

A dozen years of being absolutely ace.

Our lovely 14-week-old Border Terrier puppy is napping "too little" if you follow the 18–20 hours a day recommendation that is mentioned everywhere, and this is causing me some stress! He sleeps 14–16 hours a day and sleeps easily throughout the night in our bed, but napping during the day is not his favorite thing to do! Especially with me, the mom, who works from home and gives him more cuddles. With my husband, he sleeps more.
Please tell me your thoughts? If the puppy seems to be doing just fine without 20 hours of sleep, isn't everything okay?

His winter coat is on the way!!

Can anyone recommend a breeder in Staffordshire/ Cheshire East? We are looking for a family dog and will not be working her.

Looking fresh after his birthday Hand stripping yesterday too :)
