Jagdterrier

Sir, please take what Sean just posted and read it again, then wait 30 minutes, and re-read!

Machine73's description is spot on! As you can tell by my name, I am a Jagd man. I own 2 currently and have been around them for 4 years. Keep in mind, that this breed is not for everyone. They will not work for you if you keep your dogs on a chain and only hunt them once a month.I have a pup that will not turn 1 until July 9th that recovered 4 deer this past season, one of which was a track of 6 hours w/ no visible blood to the human eye for over a mile through rice fields.

Their range is not that of a hound, but with age they will get out there. They will open up when on a pig at close quarters, when ours bark, get ready becasue they are trying to shut it down. It's funny, because I really wish he would open up when he recovers a deer, but he won't, which means I track on lead. may try w/o lead a few times this coming year and rely on the Garmin, but that is up for debate.

These dogs like interaction, get very attached to their families, and due have some aggression issues, mostly Alpha dog stuff. They will out run some cur dogs I hunt with because of their small size and I like the speed of these dogs. They will shut one down quick! Don't kid yourself, they have their place in the hog world, but I am trying to build a pack of 2 Jagd's and one fast/silent cur or Cat. These dogs seem to be on the catchy side which makes them "suicidal" in many cases. The size of the hog does not seem to matter!
