My little border terrier bitch had a litter of 4 pups last week, all being well with the pups (early days) I have lovely homes for them and more! I know a few breeders in this area but we are down in Sussex so too far. It may be worth looking for a border stud dog in your area and giving them a call, they may know of litters due? Don't discount your local paper/free ads as there is a very old fashioned breeder of super terriers around here who only advertises, if he needs to, in his local paper. If you are out walking and spot a nice terrier make a point of asking where the dog came from?! You'll be surprised how much this happens!.
Breeders that breed dogs for showing often breed them for looks rather than temperament, the fashion these days seems to be long legged/finer body. We like the older fashioned working type terrier shorter/stockier, hence breeding this litter. (dandyhow/oxcroft lines are just a couple of good old fashioned breed lines).
A lot of breeders breed there lines very closely, we bought a beautiful blue/tan bitch a few years ago and paid a lot of money for her as we were told that line breeding is fine, good even, we had lots of problems with her and sadly lost her at the age of 3. This may just be bad luck but has certainly put us off anything that is line-bred.
