OMG, too cute!!! BT doing Schuthzund

GSDBESTK9 · 07-13-2011, 10:16 AM

For quite some time, Dennis and I have been talking about getting a little house dog. We both like Terriers and just recently, we decided that when the time is right, we are going to get a Border Terrier.

Well, today I found this video of a BT doing Schutzhund!!!

Now more than ever we are definitely getting one!!

That's awesome. I really like Border Terriers, I groom a couple of them and they are the nicest little dogs. Sweet as can be with Terrier spunk, and not dog-aggressive like so many Terriers can be.

I LOVE Border Terriers! Our trainer has them in addition to Mals, and she also breeds sport mixes. She has a mal/border terrier/border collie mix puppy out of her last litter that she's still looking for the right home for, and I adore him - he is so sweet! If I didn't already have 2 dogs I'd snatch him up, but 2 is plenty. Her BT Cosmo is adorable too, he will do ANYTHING for food. I'm not a little dog person, but if I were to get one, it would definitely be a BT. There was a BT in one of Keefer's OB classes a few years ago, and I'd never heard of them prior to that.

She is deliberately creating mutts for the purpose of sport? What exactly is the point of that? That Malinois, Border Collies, and Border Terriers aren't good enough on their own?

Granted, a Mal/BT would be cute as heck. Crossing breeds for the purpose of specialized work (stock dogs, police, guide dogs, livestock guardians) is one thing... but simply for sport? This is a bit too close to "designer dog" breeding for my taste.

Exactly.

Believe it or not, it's not unusual - there are breeders who specialize in careful breeding of mixes for competitive sport purposes, Border-Staffies are common in flyball. I personally don't think it's the same as creating yorkie-poos for the pet market, but I understand that not everyone would agree with the practice.

She is an experienced breeder BTW, not known for mixes but of working Belgian Malinois - you may have heard of Michael Ellis? She's his business partner in the Loup du Soliel kennel, and Lisa has bred and trained one of the most accomplished and titled Mals in the world, as well as having tested and evaluated over 250 dogs when she was with the Military Working Dog program at Lackland AFB before moving here to the Bay Area. Here is her bio: Home

Feel free to start a thread to discuss the topic of sport mixes if you like, let's not hijack Carolina's thread any further, okay?

I think that the little terrier was very impressive.

omg, watching him dangle off of the sleeve was hilarious

Not being a big fan of terriers or little dogs in general, the BTs i've met though have all been really nice little dogs.
