In France they use pedigree foxterriers both to ground and to wild boar.

I've seen a pack of thtem work to boar in Belgium once, sorry to say, they were the stupidest dogs of the whole lot there present that day.

They are indeed too big and of too deep a chest to fit in an average fox earth.

But maybe when yours comes from a French line with workers somewhere close up it might become useful.

A foxterrier of 35 cm. has already a very deep chest though. Like the German Jagd whose chest span must be 10 cm. more than its hight at the withers. Who thought that up? Every German terrier but the smallest of 33 cm. is also too big for average fox earths. In Britain 33 or 34 cm. (13 inch?) is, I believe, about the limit for a purely fox working dog. And then their chest span is much smaller than with a show fox or jagd.

My biggest dog is 35 cm. but very lean built and I find her really too big and use her for boar and brock more than for fox, although she usually gets there if she finds one herself.

By the way, here almost all hunters hunting or Jagd terrier or dachshund. All hunters can not be wrong not you think?. Maybe the burrows are diferent :thumbs:

 

Hunting lines of fox terrier here in Spain there are very few, but there are lines hunters 100%. They hunt well in burrows and are around 37cm for males and females 35 cm. I see that dogs.

 

In belgium there is a breeder that hunt fox and badger in burrow with his dogs

 

The good lines of good working fox terrier are in the east of europe, I know that in france there is a lot of kennel that hunt with his Fox-terrier, but I dont want his form of hunt.

I think I met the Belgian fox terrier breeder who also works his dogs.

The problem is if the breed standard tells you they need to be of a shape that is unable to enter, you have a problem. Let alone the character because looks come first always with these guys.

I have no doubts that in East Europe they have some working lines of show bred terriers. I hear that more often. Their lines are bred differently for 60 + years from ours, (when exchange between the countries was difficult or impossible) perhaps enough to maintain some working ability.

My solution to the problem of idiots who tell you the chest size of your dog must be too much, artificial trials etc. and all the other gobsh*** of the pretenders who wanted show and working dogs (not possible in todays show dogs) was to forget about papers and show shite and outcross Jagd to British working terriers with no show blood. It did them good.

Hello

 

Thanks for your answer

 

I have a question for you, it is true that the Reverend John Russell was looking for a race like the old fox terrier, forgetting the morphology and focusing only on the job?

 

I saw a fox-terrier to do things that no other race has cast so far, so until it is proven that this race isn't good for work, no one will convince me that this breed isn't a good hunting dog

most pic s i ve seen of fox terriers worked in france have been doubled up and one breeder openly admitted on another site that he doubles up his dogs when working them too ground and too the proper terriermen on this side off the pond that is a cardinal sin if they dont do it on there own they aint worth feeding
