  1. I looked at their photos, and I think they are not bull terriers
  2. The only bull terrier hunting kennel I've heard of is called Gladiator. The kennel belonged to forester František Anderle from CSSR. But this is the history of the breed for a long time.
  3. We usually used fox terriers, dachshunds and welsh terriers, then jagd terriers. Border terriers have also appeared relatively recently.
  4. continuation... After all, an inside look is valuable. This kind of hunting looks primitive from the outside – they came with shovels, put on a device, dug a hole, killed an animal. And from the inside, these are the experiences of the first minutes – is there a beast? The joy of starting a dog's work. A surge of adrenaline when the dog stopped the beast in the cauldron, disappointment that the beast was able to push through the siege, interest in where the dog would stop the badger again, exhaustion from physical fatigue, emotional tension of the last centimeters, empathy for a sma
  5. continuation... Calm down and put on a good headlamp. And with a flashlight and a gun, the shooter goes down into the pit. We open the entrance to the cauldron, look inside with a lantern – if the beast is there, then it remains to take a firing position and wait for the badger to appear in the gap. A headshot, applause, a dog ruffling its rightful prey. The number of the fraction is unimportant, at this distance – 1-2 meters – any fraction, even for a snipe, flies like a bullet. It is necessary to shoot at the head without fail, so as not to pierce the valuable badger fat, which, i
  6. continuation... Sometimes it happens that the Awl drives the badger all the time almost non-stop. Five to ten minutes on the spot – and back on the road. In these cases, we try to catch the smallest depth and pile on the shovels together. If the depth is a meter, the four of us manage to pass it in five minutes. Because we have good shovels and a strong arm, yes. But even if such a gift does not happen, nevertheless, after passing our meters into the depth, we somehow reach the cauldron where our trophy sits locked. At this time, it is necessary to determine the direction of th
  7. continuation... Actually, it's probably all about preparing for the hunt. Now let's go directly to the process. It is necessary to start with the search for badger settlements. They usually dig their holes in the slopes of forest ravines and, being sedentary animals, do not leave their settlements for no reason. However, brood holes are also found in open fields, near water and a forage base. The hunting season lasts from mid-August to the end of October, but in August the animal is still active, eats, has gained not enough fat, and it is better to let it catch up at this time. So t
  8. continuation... There is another advantage of the dachshund. This is a dog that "works with his head." The well-developed central nervous system of representatives of this breed allows you to quickly form new reflexes and predict the situation based on them. In other words, dachshunds learn very quickly and skillfully apply new knowledge in practice. Now about the team. We almost always hunt with four of us, not counting the dog. Hunting is, let's say, forceful, fervent… Sometimes you have to dig holes three or more meters deep, so the sooner you are replaced, the longer you can rest
  9. continuation... I didn't compare a badger to a bear for nothing. Although they are from different families, the badger is from the marten, and the bear is from the bear, but their ancestors clearly once sinned against each other. Otherwise, why do they even have a similar footprint? The badger trail is like a bear in miniature… Scared you? I'm scared myself. And now you have to let your pupil loose on this beast. But I must note that a trained dog – with a good team, with all the necessary tools and with a search engine device - can be safely launched into the badger settlement.
  10. Translation of an god article from a hunting magazine about hunting with a dachshund in our area. I don't know English well, I use an online translator, but I'm correcting it. I hope it will be clear Dear colleagues in my hobby, today I want to tell you about burrowing hunting with small, funny dogs on short legs that run freely under the sofa without bending down, which were bred in Germany back in the XVI century specifically for hunting badgers and which were safely put on sofas by numerous breeders far from hunting. Yes, I'm talking about a fearless eath hunter – a dachshund.
  11. There are such disputes in the community. This is the eternal holywar )
