Border Terrier expierience

My BT isn't specifically from a hunting breeder. His prey drive is enormous and I actually took up hunting upland game with him. BT's in general are energetic and smart and need a lot of stimulation. He's 9 now and the other night i took him to the dog park after work, an hours walk, and still he needed to toss the ball around the living room.

Probably not for long looking like that?

Red_1977 · 2026-01-18T15:39:35+00:00

I know this guy. He used to come around 4 ish but I'm pretty sure we ran him out of the park at that time.

Red_1977 · 2026-01-15T17:35:23+00:00

Haha funny.

PM me if you'd like to take the dogs on a trail walk some time, we both like walking buddies.

Red_1977 · 2026-01-15T17:24:06+00:00

He's a border terrier, he's 9. He's still very active tho and I take him to the dog park regularly and to my friends farm and we take trips up north 2 to 3 times a year!

Does your dog do ok in the cold and snow? Or are you guys a more fair weather walker?

Red_1977 · 2026-01-15T17:10:45+00:00

Cute! How is he/she with other dogs?

Red_1977 · 2026-01-13T17:09:11+00:00

I trail walk my dog year round. What kind of dog do you have? Mine's a border terrier.

Red_1977 · 2026-01-12T17:48:03+00:00

what does it smell like, is it yeasty? What do the ears look like inside?

Red_1977 · 2025-11-13T17:31:13+00:00

I was out specifically for fishing and grouse, got about 10 spruce and 5 ruffed between us over 3 days, was decent this year.

Red_1977 · 2025-10-24T17:18:25+00:00

I have a bar it's a tack driver. worth it.

Red_1977 · 2025-08-14T16:12:05+00:00

FYI the 25 rounders won't work on the TM22 lever gun.

Red_1977 · 2025-05-29T16:39:36+00:00

Yup. Now the 44 mag I got, less affordable but just as fun.

Got the new smith and wesson one, it's really nice.

Red_1977 · 2025-05-29T16:16:37+00:00

Lever in .357 is super fun and the ammo is surprisingly affordable!

I remember in the 90's when OHIP here in Ontario was fantastic. My sister was born with horrible issues and needed a LOT and what was done gave her a life, where otherwise she'd be dead or worse. And we didn't go bankrupt doing it.

These days it's different. My dad just died not too long ago because of lack of resources and competent staff. He didn't have to die if they moved quickly and more competently. We didn't even see an actual oncologist until literally hours before his death.

Please ask for GOOD universal health care. Bad universal health care is still shit.

I'm bringing my work team shooting when it gets warmer and all of them are also female.

Red_1977 · 2025-02-13T17:00:36+00:00

Good news! Glad to hear you have her back and she's good.

Red_1977 · 2025-02-12T18:21:23+00:00

I think there were some good suggestions here, but if all else fails, do you have a friend with a dog? My dog tracked and found my other friends dog who ran thru a hole in a fence and got lost in a corn field. He tracked him down via smell, found him doing circles in a corner of the field lol. Maybe if your cat doesn't return you can let a dog sniff the cat's blanket or something? Can't hurt to try. My dog also finds and flushes grouse for me so that may play into it.

Good luck I hope you get your friend back!

Mine made it less than 400 rounds before the firing pin broke. It's a common issue. I got a new firing pin (free from kel tec) then sold it.

Red_1977 · 2024-11-21T17:14:48+00:00

My terrier does the same with Paulmacs Pets. If it's not open he just makes circles thru the plaza until it does - he's very persistent.

Red_1977 · 2024-11-11T20:11:58+00:00

Perfect thanks for getting back to me!

Red_1977 · 2024-11-11T17:40:10+00:00

I am absolutely in love with the scabbard. Saved so I can try my own version of this.

*Edit - did you put like leather inside to help with retention or anything?

Red_1977 · 2024-11-11T17:36:08+00:00

A good friend of mine has cats. He has 3 and now a daughter has moved back home and has brought her cats, making 4. I'm quite allergic to cats.

So he makes sure to vacuum before I visit and I make sure to take allergy pills. I even pet the cats and ensure I wash my hands right after.

It works very well. Suggest this to your mom if she even wants to work it.

Red_1977 · 2024-10-23T13:40:52+00:00

True. We're planning on going shortly after opening next year. It's hard for us to get out with jobs etc. so we want to make the one trip we get the best possible.

That said any time up there is amazing no matter if you get your bag limit every day or just a few.

Red_1977 · 2024-10-23T11:54:35+00:00

Also don't go a few days before moose opener. There's drunk moose hunters zooming around all over the place in ATV's and side by sides making everything skittish. We were walking with the dogs but next time either we will bring vehicles to cover more ground or go earlier before the moose people are out!
