Father/daughter and mother/son is closer than bro sister. If you're not breeding and the pups look healthy, don't even take this stuff into account.

Fun video. Maybe the powder was a flea powder. I'd give a teckel a try. There's a fellow on my Facebook that seems to have fine ones.

I have broken dogs with the "firm no" method and the electronic method. Neither makes you a failure at training if the desired end is met. But the fact that the first many replies to this topic were that one could not livestock break a terrier shows that the old tri-Tronics is much more reliable. In my area, a person cannot successfully hunt any unbroken dog anywhere. There are too many. Trash species and livestock. To say a terrier can't be broken to livestock is a good laugh to me. I've had some that refused to be broken but most will be. But I raise most of my terriers near livestock. I a

G*Dammit Jawn! You're showing what jagds are really about. Now we'll never convince those folks across the pond.

I'm having trouble getting a message through to you Liam. Maybe your inbox is full? If not, shoot me a message and I'll reply. Take care

Tell me folks, when the sport is made illegal and no one speaks of it openly and these websites are dismembered, where will the history of terrier work and its methods be found? It will be in books, that's where. Some of you have met great terrier men in your lifetime, that's great, write it down, share the experience, because I promise you, if you don't, it's dead with you. History is in the books lads and people like Buck and Braey, or Nuttal, Gould, Joe down the street, they won't be in the vocabulary in a few generations. I can't name a single terrier man pre- 1920. How did they hunt?

Those fellows are self publishing. I recall reading that only about two hundred copies of the Ns Obsession book were printed. Take into account that the author pays for the publishing of each book, hardback probably being more expensive, color and glossy paper even more, the time it takes to write or type, edit, type set, format, ship individually... That's all a pain in the ass and its not making anybody alot of money. The way people are obsessed with money on here is just ridiculous. Nobody obsessed with money gets into terriers to get it. And you sure as hell don't become an author. It's la

To those folks a fine looking animal is a work of art. A painting sells for 2k everyday, we don't bat a lash but a dog sells for 2k its news. That dog is beautiful. Though dogs are relatively cheap, maybe we should consider our dogs of higher worth, as stig did. A painting can't be painted the same way twice and there will never be another dog like one you've owned or own. Our animals are our art. It's a sign of respect not the sign of a fool to value a dog highly. But heck, unless the dog was a worker, you could talk me into parting with it for 2k. Don't want to sound like a hypocrite. My fav

Earthdog Pictures (Feel Free To Post)(Legally)

Those two with the white chests look cool, molie -
There are guys from Canada on here. There is excellent hunting in Canada. Fox, coon, badger and coyote are what I've heard most about. It seems the Canadians have more success with digging fox and badger than most in the states.

You haven't seen little June yet Bluecollar. She's smaller than Albert. Not tested yet really. Had her on a coon underground this week and she did better than ever... We'll see how she comes on.

Greg D used to dig a jagd several times a week. It was a tiny little dog. I liked the type a lot. Not very hard but then he wouldn't have been digging it 3 days out of the week.

If Frank was from Yorkshire, does it stand to reason his dogs were Yorkshire terriers?

I didn't know that was Cupa in those pics. Nice to see her in action outside the trials. Don't get me too worked up about her coming this side of the pond.

America too accip. It's about the quality of the individual not the breed. Look up fell terrier on google images and a bunch of smooth dogs and pet looking dogs doing agility comes up. I've seen jagds that do some amazing things. As far as a great fell vs a great jagd, it's a toss up. As far as earthwork, I haven't seen in person a better dog than the fells. But that's due to size more than style. And as far as people digging them, there are some fine lines for digging I'd love to have a go with.

I can handle coon, fox and coypu just fine. I've been told badger are easily managed. But there have been some otter in the roots that I was not keen on getting my hands near. Those boogers I wouldn't have minded a strong dog for. Sometimes you reach a point you can't dig further and the game is just up and out of reach. The little dogs aren't capable of what needs to be done every time in an instance like that. I've never worked a real strong dog. Just recognize times I would have had use of one.

The price just keeps going up on them in America. Folks will give them as gifts but most are sold at astronomical prices and the prices are rising.

Lol I don't like to share my dog names. I take it seriously lol.

Magua did the best day. Not mafia. Damned predictive text.

Not sure of the best season. I don't record keep. But my buddy counted 72 coon for one dog in a season above and below and that's not counting nutria or possums. Best day for one dog is my mafia dog. I think it was 8 digs and 11 nutria taken. 3 dog day got 9 nutria and 3 coon. Once hit a jackpot where I put down a terrier in a container with 14 coon. We thought there was only one in there. I think I was 14 years old at the time.

Antsa, I hope your cross works. I'm sure I'll try it again, but I'd really like to have established dogs of each type that do the job and reproduce their own type. Not gonna mix and match again until the dogs aren't distinguishable from the beginning.

I wish I ended up with Sammy Jay. I really like that pup. Kind of along the lines of what Jay was saying, they sound like a pain, unless you need the qualities only the jagd has. I really like a good jagd. A great jagd can't really be beat by another type of terrier. But there are so many ifferent types of jagds. Hog hunting ones, bird flushing ones, earth dog, water dog. The list I'm sure goes on. Great dogs though but you've got to dominate them. They need to know who's boss. I've only ever done male jagd, female fell. That's all I had access to. Wanted to do a breeding to a fell dog t

Some say they're easier than hounds but i'd say they're much more hard headed in my experience. Like I said, they're not very hard to work with when you have abit of experience under the belt but when I was just starting in dogs I had a hell of a time. Hardness in my opinion is a dog that will take any amount of punishment from the game and not back up from it, yelp or bay or let go for the sake to stop taking punishment. It never bays. If your dog bays at all, that's not hard in my opinion, that's a mixer or bay dog.

Size was not an issue from either type of dog. I had half and halfs that were 10 pounds. I gave away a few that were really the best of the bunch. I kick myself everyday I wake up for not still having a few of these... But you live and learn. Any size dog will work here, one of our best was 32 pounds! He drowned while working a coon. We had a few die this way one year, very nice ones. But not my dogs so no pictures to put up. Very fine animals. So to summarize, I'd say the crosses are the best overall dogs I've seen but rare to have a great one. But best for the jobs they're bred specifi
