I work mainly rock and undiggable places and in my kennell there is no place for a 6 h stayer.It would be no use for me,What I want from my dog is to go in and do everything he can to bolt his quarry or kill it.But some quarry wouldn't bolt and can't be killed,an experienced rocks dog know that and will come away but only after trying every trick.A dog that can do this work week in week out for 4 or 5 seasons is worth breeding from. the dogs we work are jagdterriers and I class them as hard dogs and are all capable of killing their fox in the right place

in 93 i had my nose bones smashed for the 5th time,I had an operation to fix it up and I had about 20cm tampon put inside.when they removed it after two weeks it was unbeliveble pain. The other worst one was kidney stones,I went for a piss and I just fell to the ground unable to stand up.

You are right,the jagd terrier was created in Germany from black and tan dogs imported from England in the 30s

In total onesty I'm very surprised,here in Italy people looksto be totally different from uk.I'm surprised at how many children you have and how young you marry.Here in Italy houses are really expensive and there is not a real rent house market.renting a 3 rooms house here where I work will probably cost me the % of my income.So thats probaly why here people tend to marry in their 30's and have only one children for couple,Its really a common thing here to be 30 or more and still live with parents. That said I'm Valerio,I live in Tuscany(central italy) I'm a bus driver,I'm 32,single,'ve 2

As I've previusly said I work jagdterriers,they are hard dogs somethimes too hard for their own good.they are versatile and trainable dogs with a real good nose.They are used all above continental europe for both underground work,wild boar hunting and blood search.You only need to find the right line for underground work and they are as good as any other breed.As for trials it's sad but the damn UE has banned them in most countries.Here in italy full contact trials are banned from 3 years ago,Hungary and Serbia followed an year after.I think only Slovakia still have some really interesting tr

Here in Italy every dog have to be microchipped or tattoed and registered to local veterinary service,there is a national archive of all dogs.if a dog is found in every part of Italy the local veterinary service can find the owner within a day or two. there are still dog thiefs(mainly boar hounds),but I think the introduction of the microchip helped us.If you are found out hunting with a dog without microchip or tattoe you can have 1200 euros fine and dog taken away.if you have a pup you have to go to the local vet service and have him microchipped(it cost about 25 euros),if the dog is lost,so

I've had a problem with cocaine addiction,and I don't stopped untill I had finished all my savings from year of hard work,lost all my friends and half killed a woman while driving my truck.One day I started to think that I was destroing my life,I had it the bottom and stopped,I've had terrible days,forcing myself not to go out.Now it's 2 years and 11 mounths that I'm drug free,but I still think about it and every time I go out I fight a battle with myself.The only one that can help is yourself.

I'm a Fiorentina fan and I think we played better football in both the games,but football's a strange thing so best luck to Rangers.
-
I bought a really cheap ryanair ticket for Manchester hoping that Fiorentina would make the uefa cup final,but yesterday they lost the semi-final at the penalty kicks .I still have the plane reservation and 3 days off work.Is the city of Manchester worth a visit?if not is there something near Manchester worth seeing?

it ca happen. A few years ago one of my boarhounds bitch had 7 pups all bitches -
do u dig to the coypu or do they bolt an shoot them bolted or killed by the dog,their earths are never deep and quite large.But they can badly damage a terrier as their teeth cut like scissors.
-
like a big very big rat with nasty big teeth Coypu or nutria is a really big rodent that lives along rivers and channels,quite similar to a beaver.It was imported to Italy in the 60's from south america for fur but escaped from the farms and is now infestating all our rivers and doing damage to crops and river banks link

Fox,porcupine,badger and coypu.

Most jagdterrier are hard dogs,some eastern european lines are too hard.I think most of our Jagds are between 0,30 m to 0,35 m and about 7 or 8 kilos.Some dogs are bigger. Arnold is probably 0,32 m and 7 kilos Sorry but I can only use the metric sistem.He was breed in hungary by Mr Ferenc Kulcsar of Duvadirto kennells

The photos are working for me,if they dont work il'put them back

Even with a locator we couldnt dig over th dog without killing him,when we tried at every pick hit more stones where falling. The trench was the only thing.
