Border Terriers |

My first border terrier was called Wilberforce. He was born in 1970 and was the son of Ch Deerstone Realization. He was a handsome dog and did quite a bit of winning as a puppy, but by 9 months he had grown unforgivably large, so I stopped showing him. He was full of character if rather naughty. What my Dad said about him sums it up rather well, “He is a smashing little dog, but I’m glad he’s not mine.” Anyway, He got me hooked, and I have had a border ever since, with one or two rather empty small gaps! Wilberforce once ran off down the road and into a neighbour’s garden. Usually when he did this, the neighbour would tell him to come home in no uncertain terms, and he obeyed instantly, slinking back home with his tail between his legs. On this particular occasion, she wasn’t in, so Wilberforce found he could just get through her cat door. Once in, he managed to jump up onto her worktop and ate a whole joint of bacon, which was soaking in some water. My neighbour arrived home later to find Wilberforce firmly wedged in her catflap, in an attempt to get out! She managed to free him and he came straight home and drank several bowls of water before being heartily and copiously sick! This was just one of many scrapes he got into, including one involving a rat, a dustbin and a shotgun! |
