from what ive seen airadales are on the bigger side, if you need a smaller framed dog then you may consider mt cur, or maybe even a cur cross. jmo

I have not seen any talk on this forum about a JackRat (Jack Russel x Rat Terriar) but my buddy had one that was his best strike/bay dog he has ever had in the 25yrs he's been hunting. Unfortantly he was ran over in the yard. He has another one coming on now and I have seen him in action. He don't have the strike down yet but the bay, he's got it and he isn't but just over a year old. I know some dogs just have it and some don't so it would be a toss up cause they are not known for hog hunting to my knowledge.

I tried the Airedales for quite a few years for the all around hog dogs...the mt. cur is a better strike dog and can be just as rough...but I like the 55-60 pound mt curs...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

I would say it depends on how much you hunt. Be real honest with yourself about how often you really go hunting too.
A good Jagd can't lay up and do nothing. They can and will go crazy in a pen. A bored Jagd will hunt anything and everything that moves, including other dogs, ants, lizards, flies, leaves, lint, you name it.
If you aren't keeping a Jagd busy you will have problems. Jagds can be trouble even when hunted often. You won't find a dog with more prey drive, and desire to hunt. Yes, Jagds can be trashy, and prone to fight, but they are lots of fun too.
Be sure you have a well bred Jagd no more than a couple generations from European dogs. I believe the European bred Jagds are nearly perfect for hunting hogs in thick cover.
I hunted mine one or two out and a pit to catch. The pit didn't get as much work as you might think. Two Jagds can catch and hold some surprisingly big hogs together.
The sad fact is the best ones don't live too long. I had up to 5 at one time, but they are all gone now.

PEOPLE Always SAY TRASHY! I ran mine in a pen until 9 months, Then on wood hunts i would wait to let them go until on hog sign or a bay is going to keep them away from trash until there a year old an i can say i never had a trashy jagds because i ran honey holes so training them was easy.. I would bay them in a pen 2 to 4 time a weeks an hit the woods more then 2x a week an there tempers stayed good around each other to the point i could have 5 at once in a 20x25 kennel with out fighting! So i learned knight lines fight an Dixie lines have a better temper around others! David with cool dog ranch BREEDS good temper jagds an he holds them by the hole litter in one kennel an every jagd of his has other jagds together! fighting all the time is NOT with his breeds! i think his ethd name is CDR he only sells dogs here he never gets on to talk!
