Comment: Lovely website - so easy to navigate and read. Well done Cynthia and Gordon and the Yorks Lancs and Cheshire Border Terrier Club.

Comment: Hi, I think that this is a great site, especially for first timers. Its informative about the breed and the show. The picture gallery is great. One thing I would like to ask is how do you stop a 14month old very hormonal boy marking in the house I'm having a nightmare with mine, any advise greatly appreciated.

Comment: Hi Cynthia, Thank you so much for the help and advise the other day. It was greatly appreciated. Hopefully see you Saturday @ the show.

Comment: Great show on Saturday Cynthia, many thanks to you and all involved in organising it. The choice of venue was perfect - very spacious and airy with stunning views, great parking and an excellent dog friendly park nextdoor. We were there after a long absence from a show scene and the welcome was very friendly and encouraging. Kindest regards Elizabeth Gibbons

Comment: Hi Cynthia Both my daughter and I had a great time on Saturday, everyone was very warm and friendly. Thank you for taking the time to stop and chat and give helpful advise as I know that it was a very busy day for you. Hopefully will be a regular at the shows.

Comment: Hi Cynthia, hope you are all well. Well I finally got my boy in the show ring and although there was only a few dogs at the Ashton in Makerfield show Feb 24. I was really proud and gobsmacked of my boy he got BOB which I thought was good going for his first outing and knowing how naughty he can be at training classes. My little girl was made up. I would like to say thank you for kind words and congratualtions off the other BT people that I met there that day. I would also like to take the opportunity to say to all the BT people going to Crufts this year Best Wishes and Good Luck, have a wonderfull time and hopefully I will be joining you all next year.xx

Comment: Hi Thanks for your great website. We are a Cumbrian family looking to give a good home to a Border pup sometime June onwards. Can anyone advise us where, when and how to start looking? Thanks Lorna

Comment: 12 months ago my lovely border terrier - Penny - 3 years old - started hacking/wheezing and then was sick - white slimy foam when out walking. This happens every time we walk her and it leaves her exhausted. She cannot enjoy walks at the moment. She has been under the vets for 12 months with no cure - she has had steroids, antibiotics, procedures to look at her windpipe/throat - no diagnosis/cure has been found. Any advice would be greatly appreciated to get her back to normal. Thanks.

Comment: Well done on your site and the up to date information Saw the Club Banner for the first time in Sept a real spectacular thing--Well done to the Officers and committee of this club for organizing such a keepsake for the club

Comment: Hi Cynthia & Gordon Lovely to see the YL&CBTC in full view to the whole world!- an excellent job well done. Pity that more clubs don't include a full judging list on their websites as this is most useful.

Comment: Hello Cynthia, I was wondering if yourself or anyone reading this could point me in the right direction. We have a young family, 3 children, and have come to the conclusion that a Border Terrier would be a perfect choice of dog for us. Can you recommend any local breeders, we are ready for a puppy anytime and are in no particular rush. many thanks.

Comment: Hi Cynthia The lady named Jayne who is having problems with her puppy eating. Has she ever tried feeding him a raw diet. My eldest dog was a very fussy eater but since being on a raw diet of tripe, minced chicken/beef, liver (this only 1 a fortnight) nat yogurt, veg fruit and oats. Also some days they have pilchards, nature diet and either chappie or butchers tripe. I also make my own dog mixer. There is a website called Landywoods these supply quality raw dog food but they also explain how and why to feed a raw diet. Hope this may be of some help. Kind Regards Dawn

Comment: Hi Cynthia, I hope you can put me In contact with a local breeder or groomer that can hand strip a Border terrier properly. I have just picked up my dog yesterday who has had hair pulled till he has bald patches, we are sure this is not normal practice but have tried all our local groomers and are now at a loss where to take him now? We are based In Huddersfield W Yorkshire, but are prepared to travel to take him where this will be done properly and without too much distress to him. Also they recommend to strip every 8 weeks,are we right in thinking this Is too regular? Thanks for any help In advance. Regards Stephen Munro

Comment: please could you recommend someone to hand striop my border/norfolk terrier cross in the stockport area. he is ready for stripping as his coat has parted down the centre of his back and he is begining to lokk rather scruffy! Mant thanks in advance

Comment: Hello Cynthia. This is for dawn Ashcroft. Thank you for your advise re raw feeding my dog. I changed him onto raw feed a couple of months ago and he loved it!!He seemed to gain wieght, look and behave better. Then all of a sudden he went straight off it. He wouldnt even go near his bowl. So now we are on Bakers puppie and he is ok on it. I keep giving him some raw chicken minced and he has started to eat it again.I dont understand why he went off it so dramatically though. I will give it to him every few days and see what happens. I have been getting it from a local dog trainer, but my try other place too, could it have been a bad batch or something? I dont know.Maybe I should have added more variety? I would like him to have a more natural diet so will keep persevering. If you have any more tips, I would be grateful. Thanks Jayne Tolan

Comment: Hi Cynthia I've only just read the message off Jayne regarding feeding raw. Please let her know that if she goes on www.landywoods.co.uk this should give her all the advice she needs for raw diet. Also could you please let me know if I am a member of ylcbtc. I'm sure I applied for a membership but can't remember. Many thanks Dawn

I am now looking for advice on walking our 9 month old border terrier. My husband and I are long distance walkers and intend to take our border out with us in the future. She currently walks for 35 mins 3 times a day. When can we start to increase this? Can anyone advise? There is such conflicting information on the internet and we don't want to cause any harm.

Comment: I lost my dear old border bitch just before Christmas after 15 great years. I have just put a deposit down on an adorable pup, who should be coming home in 2 weeks time. As my previous dog was about 18 months old when I got her, and was already used to being stripped, I was wondering at what age to start stripping and is it better to keep on top of it weekly or do the twice yearly thing? Any advice welcome!

Comment: An excellent website. My 8 month old border is ready for stripping. Can you recommend anyone in the West Yorkshire area.

Comment: We had our first Border Terrier pup at the end of January and I'd love to go along to a show just to see what goes on - can I bring the dog with me? This may seem an obvious question but I'm a total newbie!!

Many thanks

Comment: Hello, I have a beautiful Border terrier Lexi and we live in the Bolton area. From past comments posted I see you know details of a good hand stripper in the area. Lexi is 9 months old and hasn't been stripped yet so she does need sorting but I want it to be done properly and professionally. The groomers I have contacted have all said they don't do hand stripping anymore and have just said not many do either. If anyone can please help I would appreciate it. Thanks in anticipation, Caroline

Comment: Thank you Cynthia. I would be happy with any bitch a year or older. We have no plans of showing or breeding from her so I am not interested in her being a "perfect looking girl". Personality is more important. Thank you, Jayne Tolan

Comment: Hello, My Father In Laws Border Terrier, Harley, was mauled by a bull mastiff 2 weeks ago and sadly didnt make it despite putting up some fight for 4 days after. He is looking to get a puppy, possibly a bitch this time. Can anyone recommend a good but reasonably priced breeder near Doncater?   Thanks In Advance, Colin

Comment: We have a BT dog aged 9 months who was stripped 5 days ago. I have just noticed 3 small sist / spots on his back between his front shoulders and 2 larger spots on his back between his back legs. Can these be as a result of him being stripped. Ted was stripped by a lady who shows, breads and strips other BTS so i am confident he has been done properly. 
Regards Carl
