    Turns out I do know a little bit about these dogs. A friend of mine bred the sire of this litter and owned the sire of both the dog and the bitch, named Vuk Phillip who was a son of Astor Asstraata. This is Vuk or Wolfe. Here is his half brother Falcon Fax also off of Astor Asstraata who Zlatomir also owned. I've had a bunch of dogs down from Astor.... but I had a bitch directly off of Vuk named Roxy od Zvezdani Gaj who was one of the best. She was a solid worker, but the kind you could only hunt once every few weeks. She threw some good pups that later earned their keep.

    Why don't y'all just get in your pickup, drive over there and see some dogs. Don't sound like it's much further than a trip across Texas.

    @ unlacedgecko.... . Do you know the name of the kennel or the dogs the pups are from?

    Was this the "somewhat smug" statement that according to you I backtracked on? Let me be clear..... I'm not guessing if jagds can hold their own with some very good digging dogs produced in your part of the world.. I didn't however suggest that they were any better or worse... or that YOU should rush out and buy one. And for what it is worth...traditional terrier work is a sport and a livelihood for far more than the people in your backyard.

    O.k..... I'll try this one more time..... I'm not trying to convince ANYONE to part with their hard earned money for ANYTHING. I'm not here selling dogs.... and I never have been. Your terriers like your hounds or bird dogs may well be the best for what you do in the areas and on the types of game they were bred for. But the best in the world? Maybe if you confine your expectations of performance to your shores and the the types of game you hunt there. Our terriers like our hounds have roots that trace back to your part of the world....but you better believe that smart pe

    With all due respect foxdropper..... I'll agree that they MIGHT not be any better for you than a terrier you have that is already doing everything you need it to.... But show me a terrier of any other persuasion that can pass even the minimum standard set fourth at zp and I'll be impressed. I'm sure plenty exist.....but I've neither seen or heard of a single one that was capable. Please understand.... I'm only talking about the bare minimum to even be considered a member of the breed. I'm not hyping them up..... but I'll not pretend they are something they are not either. Notice.... I have

    Sometimes people just want to see what the fuss is all about.....I was fortunate in that, I was able to hunt with a few jagds prior to even knowing what they were. I was impressed with not only the level of hunt in the dogs.... but the natural ability they have bred in to them. In hindsight.... the dogs I hunted with back then were not even close to what I've seen since. I tried getting them stateside.... but the waiting lists were just too long. So I did what any fool would and decided to buy one sight unseen from a reputable breeder on the other side of the world that seemed to use them

    He should be a good one then. I really like what I've seen from Zep and Lara's daughter off of Igor Zeilier Klinge. Hope he does you proud.

    In this day and age most dogs are only bred to vaguely resemble their working ancestors. Fewer and fewer people actually hunt each year... so it only follows that fewer dogs are bred for that purpose. Oddly enough people who've never hunted with a dog in their lives find reasons to breed them. Some will go on about how well suited their dogs are for work.... others take pride in the fact that the breed they fell in love with, but had no need for, will no longer be used for it's intended purpose, as if it was their mission to rescue a working breed from the work it was created to do.

    Out of curiosity where on earth do you get a good black dog for a fraction of the price find it near impossible to get a well bred pup I have been lucky and never had to buy dogs,but if i wanted one of these German dogs I would not consider 800 to much money.If good black dogs are that plentiful(they are not)why are people looking for working dogs on here all the time?There is a lot more shit black dogs than good ones.If I wanted an outcross i would have no hesitation putting a good Jadg into a line of blacks or Lakeland. That's a cross my buddy Mosby seems to like allot..... I've h

    My hat's off to you for your efforts..... There are people who know about this particular line of dogs over there. From what I hear they measure up just fine.
  16. jawn
    Sounds like a question the man who bred the dogs could best answer..... It probably varies like anywhere depending on where your from. Sorry unlacedgecko.... I type slow.

    Jagds range between 33 and 40 cm at the withers.... Hungarian dogs are typically mid to lower end of the spectrum. But Astor Asstraata was a 40 cm dog who produced plenty of the same. Steaminggutpiles and I had a litter of Croatian dogs off of Stipo's best dog and ended up having to cull every one. So I have to amend the previous statement to include these crappers. The Asstraata dogs are a different story.... they tend to be pretty predictable.
  18. jawn
    There's a reason for that.... The Croatian club breeds German dogs known for field work. I've had several dogs from Stipo Vrtaric arguably the best breeder and trainer in that country and they were fantastic dogs and did what they were bred to do. Most of these dogs are worked to ground to bolt fox..... and are bred to German standard. They aren't generally hard dogs.

    I've hunted quite a few dogs from this line off of various sires and out of several dams..... The percentage of workers was very high and the pups had to be restrained from entering on their own at an early age and given time to mature. They aren't however right for everyone. Most could be hunted once on coon and would spend the next several weeks recovering. Some are rough mixers.... and some are genuinely hard dogs that are silent once the game is anchored. Last month we had a fifteen month old Hungarian jagd from similar lines stay to ground and to task for twenty five hours. They are no di

    Nice job man.... it'll get harder before I gets easier though. The pup has to screw up in order to learn how not to.
  21. jawn
    For starters..... get rid of the lead. At 13 weeks it isn't going to run far.... It should already have learned to come when you call it to some degree. Pups will get distracted... and they are supposed to. But this isn't hard.

    Breaking a terrier of any kind from livestock isn't rocket science.......anyone can do it. You basically want to impress upon the dog the severity of the consequences of even LOOKING at whatever it is you don't want them looking at. The easiest, most effective way is with an e-collar. I use a tritronics trashbreaker. Keep in mind they have got to screw up in order to learn how not to. Or....you can just let them be terriers. :whistling:

    An average dog for the Aluminium line is about twenty pounds. Male and female differ greatly in height and build with males usually being tall rangy dogs and females being short and stocky.

    From what I have seen the average size fell stateside is as large or larger than the average jagd and isn't bred with a care in the world over whether or not it could go to ground, OR run a track if it wanted to.... and while I'd be impressed with a fell that could move a 600 meter track... that's a minimum standard for jagd puppy born here, and they aren't doing it in optimum conditions bluecollar......I'd like very much to hunt Oregon with you Mosby, Tanner, and Jim Gibbs. I'd like to see the dogs off of Zulu doing what they do. I've had several conversations with Mosby about June.... and ju
