Terrier work in the USA - Photos and Stories.

Mr Aussie I don't know how y'all pig hunt there.Where I live we use baydogs such as jagdterrier,plotthound or cur.When hog is bayed up we lead a catchdog to the hog and release.This catchdog must take one bite on the ear.If he takes a second bite he didn't get to stay.We generally leg a hog or sometimes used a knife.I have seen most types of catchdog.Most I wouldn't feed.When your asking a 30-40 lb catchdog to hold a 250 lb boar and protect you I hope the catchdog is a step too ultimate as I know men who have died playing this game. Here is a picture of one of those type.He was rel -

It's usually added in America because some British terrierman said they look like whippets. Do some research first off in the west they was still getting scalped by Indians then they ate the dogs, When you research as far back as you can it will mostly be in New England.Which is the Eastern coast.Boston area has alot of info.Which coincidentally has the highest Irish population. -

American pitbull was a byproduct of the Great Famine in Ireland.They brought them here to America.Not trying to argue just wanted to state the fact. -

Thanks y'all for the advice.There is some spots inside there that a grown man could fit so the terrier could have easily been spinning around.I drove a wrecking bar down and had a listen.I heard a bark or two but nothing else.Fox has left so I probably will not be back there for a year.It was a definite blow to my confidence in these electronics.Headed back to the swamps today.

Doing some pest control.14 lb bitch was entered here. there was fresh fox shit where she's standing.after an hour of running laps inside she began to settle.At this point the Redbox started jumping everywhere.I have not had this to happen in similar situations.There is no metal in there.I spent another hour crawling around trying to figure it out as box was fluctuating over a 5 foot range.8-13ft.The directional arrow lights were flashing everywhere no matter where I moved. they began to move and box started working right once they got away from this area.They were getting close the side so I l -

Coonhound hunters here will generally trespass before the hunt is over.Quote from my old man" Son it's easier to get forgiveness than permission" -

Tyla I did not get the quarry.This set has 14 exits.3 of which was underwater as the creek was a foot higher than it should of been.Since creeks are rising I'm headed to do pest control in a woodpile today.Luckily it's even colder and this place has no cottonmouths.Mr Barrie thank you for your comments.You have given an accurate description of dog hunters here.Some of these friendly chats over breakfast have helped me with my chosen quarry.I also receive points of interest from upset fishermen. -

It snowed in Dixie this morning.Thats about as rare as a hermaphrodite Bigfoot.I got my work done midmorning and was headed digging about the time the snow changed to rain.I loaded up a small bitch.I walked a few miles down river bank to the mouth of a creek where I have consistently encountered otter. This set runs parallel with creek roughly 400 ft.In order to track terrier I stand in the middle of set.I was waiting for terrier to settle.As I was standing there just enjoying nature I felt something under my foot.I screamed and jumped when I looked down. 2 -

I have bred my current stud to some other blacks.I have bitches from my foundation studs half brother to another line.I have my bases covered but will continue this inbreeding with a few.Its hard to keep them small enough as most Americans have already stated on here. -

I said best on otter.She is too big for small places like groundhog or small coon.although she will not stop trying. -

My dad a retired jag man told me the same thing. I asked this question on y'all's side hoping for different opinion.? All my terriers are from one stud.What I refer to as my family was from breeding stud to mother then best daughter to him took male from this and bred to his mother ECT ECT -

I was sent a white bitch who I tested thoroughly.She had the jacket of a Lakeland and a top knot like a beddie.She was very close to perfect in my eyes and I tried everything to prove my blackens was better.She would not try for dispatch she would catch the quarry with her mouth to neutralize it and would bark out of the side of her mouth.At 10 year old I bred her to my foundation male.The best otter Hunter I have ever seen came from this and the ugliest. This bitch is about to finish her fifth season.She has 3 layers to her jacket which is useful in rivers in winter.She is the best -

Waz you just solved the problem with all working canines in USA.All canines here are judged by a few individual feats They should be judged by number of hard seasons worked. -

The law's are done by each state for each species.So really depends on your chosen quarry.Coons hogs coyote groundhog possum beaver are open year around in my area.Other areas are totally different. Exactly ?
