    My bad. Sorry for any misunderstanding. I don't get to dig as much as some of y'all. And I like hearing about what you that do, like in a dog. As much as I dig, I can enjoy what I believe to be a hard dog, and still have others to hunt if it needs some recovery time. With the exception of nutria, holes rarely exceed five feet. I keep some jagds that are very small. I have an eleven pound male, and two or three females around thirteen #. To tell the truth I enjoy them as much as the bigger dogs but they are limited in what they can do well. So most times we go around doing what it is that t

    "What i like, is when people talk about hard dogs, and theyve never seen one, and dont know what there looking at.." I don't know what hardness means to most. I have seen it described ten different ways by ten different people. But I believe that there is a difference between it and agression. There are dogs, that will after a while, sit there and let a coon chew on them and give back none of what they are being given. Hard? In my book.. yes, but not particularly useful. There are dogs that will run hell on wheels into a coon and back up and do it again after getting bit. Agressive.. I'd s

    O.k. so I may be a little slow on the uptake. Must be the inbreeding. lol

    Let me see if I can help you out then Mart. A dog that is hard on one type of game can not be assumed to be the same way on another unless you enjoy being wrong. You do not know what a dog will do in any situation until you see it with your own eyes. Go ahead and make the assumtion that a good fox or badger dog will be the same on a coon and see if you don't come away looking smart. The same is true in reverse. I see no difference between bravery and courage. But a brave dog in my book takes it to the game and doesn't give up. A smart dog learns to do it the right way. Example, a dog t

    I hunt a variety of game. Some of my dogs are force broke to retrieve. They will retrieve a rabbit or a duck to hand. Some of these same dogs are extremely aggressive, hard dogs on fur. But you can take one of these dogs hog hunting and the same dog that took it to a coon, can become a completely different animal. Some will bay a hog. Some that will mix with a coon, will become suicidal on a hog if you let them. You just never know till you know. Everyone hunts for their own reason. It doesn't have to have anything to do with putting meat in the freezer. I agree with the above post. Co

    I agree with Mosby. People tend to breed what they need. Plenty of people hunting with terriers that will level some serious correction on a dog for going to ground or trashing. If I need a terrier that will run a track, I don't go to a man who leads his dogs to game. If I need a dog that locates, I don't go to a barn or brush pile purist. It is also regional. For my money I would bet that most terrier hunters do not dig to their dogs often enough.

    I know of a guy that basicaly enjoys taking a quality prospect and finishing it out only to sell it and start all over. I have seen a couple of them and they are nice dogs. No question about it. But the pay off can't be the money, because it just doesn't seem like enough. I doubt I could do it. But I can't find fault with him doing so. People are different and that's no big deal. JM2C

    A few of us who choose to hunt jagds co-operate on the import and export of dogs. I am currently holding in quarentine two pups for a man in Australia that has a difficult time getting dogs. I am not charging him a dime for the pups or my time. He is covering the vet costs and the transport as would be expected. I have also sent this man frozen semen and not asked a dime for it, and he has helped me as well. We all work together to get what we need and will continue to. When I am done with a dog, I will gladly hold it for him if he is in need. That said I have never looked down on a man who ch

    Seems funny to me that some frown at the idea of working dogs being sold. I have never cared what a person does with their dog. They can put a skirt on it and dance around in the yard with the thing if it suits them for all I care. I have bought dogs, sold dogs, been given and, and gifted them as well. I have come to believe that you get a good dog where you find it. How you came to own the thing seems to have little to do with how well it actually works It may be free or it may cost you an arm and a leg. In either case it makes little difference. Not everything can be had for a price, but mos

    Outstanding read! I've lost three this year. One was the best I have ever owned. She was nine, and died doing what she loved most. As happy as I was to see her go out that way, I can't help wishing she were still here. Again great read mister.

    I have a couple of bitch pups I am sending to a friend in Australia after they are quarantined. I have been feeding them whole squirrel and they are doing well. Normaly I just give a high quality kibble. But I have a few pecan trees, and have been knocking a few out to the other dogs and thought why not. The little bitches eat everything but the tail..lol
