    I was reading on another thread where people were wondering about the fell crossed to a jagd. I have done this breeding many times. It is the breeding I have stuck to for 8 years to produce a few good dogs. I would say that if I had to do all over again I would have maintained the fells I had as more of a fell type. There were breedings I should have done that I didn't do and some that took everything in the wrong direction. But overall, I'd say the fell jagd cross first generation are better in many ways for my hunting than either breed. I have by no means done anything scientific to come to

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbwMs7cjK0Y This is a video of the man bred dogs. Granted they may be biting with the force of a play bite.

    I'd keep and breed an undershot dog. But I'd breed it to something that wouldn't promote the fault further. National Geo did a little bit on the bite force of domestic versus wild canines. The wolf topped the chart. I know you can't tell completely by poking a stick in a dog's face how hard it will bite but the wolf with a little corrective snap did more than the other dogs by a long shot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwB2Lzkacps There's more to the video if you look for it. But I'm gonna counter you Main and say that we have not produced more powerful animals than mother nature. More p

    In the wild, where form almost always follows function, canines have scissor bites. So breeding without the intent of eliminating such a fault is going backwards. The dog can still be valuable to a program but I'd be breeding the trait out. I'd still grab a pup even with a bad bite if it's parents had the rest of the package, but I'd put it to workers with better jaws and move that bite out of the program as fast as I could.

    I didn't bother reading the whole thread. Same old song and dance, as Fatman already stated. I think the whole "free terrier only" BS has run the sport through the mud just as much as any selling has done. You can sell to a genuine lad as easily as give to a genuine lad. I have had so many offers of free dogs it has made me right pissed that i haven't recieved a single one of those dogs in 3 years of looking for good dogs. I waited and waited on a couple folks to come through. They were always promising "You'll be the first to hear of a litter" Come to find out they may have had two or three l

    There was another nice OZ man on here as well I think ozziedogman. He had some dogs.

    I am with Stig. And I feel Cleanspade has hit my opinion on the head. What does nature produce without man's hands involved. A scissor bite. In genetics and livestock production they talk about breeding to animals with such minor faults. An underbite would fall into that category. With the best of the three major breeding methods, leaving an animal in the program that is not perfect but meets the majority of your requirements is necessary to get to where you want to be the quickest. That doesn't mean that you ignore the fault but breed it to something that can get rid of the fault eventually.

    You've got access to alot of dogs uru. If you're not fully content, why breed either? Breed to the best you have access to. If it's a matter of breeding relatives or a line instead of what works best, I have experienced that that doesn't work out as planned. If you want good mouths and good workers don't breed either. Find the stud with your desired traits.

    As we say in America Stig, "Meanin' to don't pick no cotton". Bluck has been a nice fellow to me personally. I think he is recording history. More power to him and all the writers who love the sport. It's dying folks. If it isn't recorded, it never happened! Dog men are a dying species. Hound hunting is drastically changing in America and fast. It's already happening full steam ahead where you are. Write it down or no one will know it existed.

    This is by far my favorite read yet on thl!

    People who keep jagds do not follow the same code of etiquette when it comes to selling dogs. Don't expect a free pup and don't expect cheap. They cost $800 for a single pup in the states. That doesn't mean the parents aren't worked and the fellow's a pedlar. That's the going rate. I think it's a rip off but that's the rate. Main reason jagds are sparse in my neck of the woods.

    Mark, your message box is full. I'd like to chat dogs with you.

  17. Mosby
    Yes, I think a good large ferret would do the trick better than a terrier. I've got a friend with five pound ferrets. I wonder how they'd do.
  18. Mosby
    You might want to ask Americans if any was sent over. I don't know anything about the dogs but there are Americans that have been around since the first blackdogs were shipped to US

    I think they're tougher than nutria coonboy. At least in the ground. More jaw power.

    By the way. I actually hit the limit on how many likes I can put down for a day liking all the pics. Sorry that I am part of ruining a great thread. Everybody likes a different dog and I fully understand the urge to re-glorify a dying working breed. I've spent a time or two contemplating airedales and all. Variety is the spice of life. Stuntman'll varify. His little den dogs that bolt their quarry are as useful to him as my bigger mixers are to me.

    There is just no need to prove whether you work your dogs or not. I hate that it is popular to question folks on it. If your going to spend money on it, sure, question a bit. This lady has been plenty tough and kept her cool better than i did with Doc's shit slinging. I hate that stuff. As Jawn said and other sources i trust have verified, these questioners hunt. I like their posts from time to time and even agree on occasion. But I stinking can't stand their bullshit questions; acting as if they're trying to prove something. All it is is pissing down someone else's back and ya'll are calling

    Feral cats are more like fox than coon. Coon are much tougher than any cat I've encountered. Fox are not as tough as coons either. Not even close.

    Not many remember what it was like to legally dig badger. I've only found one man who would tell me anything about otter. Soon it will be fox for you all too. Memories last a life time... but only one. Books last centuries. Most of you don't know half of what hunting could have been like for you if wildlife had been managed properly. The hunter's knowledge dies with him. If it isn't written it never happened.

    True, ddog to an extent. There's a certain point when flying under the radar is the same thing as slowly killing your way of life and any remembrance of it. I think good educational books could do a lot of good. Boys in America grew up reading "Where the Red Fern Grows" and "Fox and the Hound". Without those books most people outside the southern states wouldn't know a bit about hounds or the way of life. With those books, it is the only thing they know about it and it is all very positive. Good books are beneficial. Bad books are negative. It's up to the author to create something good or bad
