Looking for advice on which direction to go with my pack.
I'm a rancher in the south texas brush country. I have Jagdterriers and Heideterriers. The dogs do a great job protecting the house and barns from varmints and predators and keeping the feral cat population in check. I run them on hogs and its interesting to see the different styles of the jagds and the heides.
I love jagds. They are motivated and fearless and will kill anything and everything that comes around the house, but dog aggression can be an issue. My jagds track vocal and will grab fur when they get there. I had a jagd female that would find and retrieve quail and dove.
My heides track silent, are more likely to bay, and they don't fight with other dogs unless provoked. They have better stamina and self preservation but take longer to turn on and time to develop confidence.
Unfortunately I lost a Jagd and a Jagd/Heide cross both last month. I'm hoping to pick up some new dogs and wanting some suggestions, any small to mid sized terrier type of dogs and where to get them. Good crosses? I appreciate any info, contacts, opinions, or advice. Thanks!
