DogPaddle 0 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) Hello All I am a dog musher from Northwest Territories, Canada. I live on the land, fishing and hunting for my food, even raised children out here. I do get close enough to town once in a while to get on the internet and update my web site (although I haven't updated it for a while now). I am facinated with hunting dogs. I have a couple of Jacks and they are looking good. They are almost a year old and they are showing good promise, chasing rabbits, but I have no idea how they will turn out. I wouldn't mind some helpful suggestions from anyone who has experience with these dogs. We have quite a few foxes here, but so far as yet I cannot entice the dogs to enter a den. Hopefully they will get braver as they get a little older??? I have looked around this site and found many great ideas. I look forward to conversing.

DogPaddle 0 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hi and welcomefeel free to PM me with any questions you might have. have had jacks in the past although I now have a Patterdale terrier which I am bringing on for next season. How old are your dogs? size? any pics ? cheers K Thanks, I will. I only know of one person here in Canada that has a Patterdale. I would guess that there are more, but they certainly are not very popular yet here. But they do have an exceptional reputation over here. Do you know of anyone in Canada that has working Patterdales? My dogs are all just under a year. I have only just started with JRT's and I am just learning about them. I use mostly sled dogs, and some of them are exceptional hunters, but they live outdoors and are mostly only interested in running, and my indoor dog passed away recently, (she was a Rottweiler and a great hunter, but she was big and clumsy, so I decided to try a smaller dog) and I picked up a few JRT's. The smallest one is 29cm and the tallest is 34cm. I will get pictures up as soon as I can, but I am not that good yet with loading pictures on the computer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very much looking forward to hearing about your hunting. Hey! I was wondering if there were many Canadians on this site. I have quite a few hunting stories, but they are mostly with sled dogs and riffles, and I still need to look around the site a little more and figure out the best place to post different things. As a side note, I am looking into getting a couple of staghound crosses, and wondering how they will do on the rough terrain of the north. Have you had any experience with this breed? On rough ground? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
