  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 )
  12. continuation... As for burrowing, all burrows differ from each other, as well as foxes. I do not want to comment on the hunting of a badger, since it is physically stronger and more malice, causes lifelong injuries to the dog, kills in a fight or buries it with earth, therefore it is undesirable for an angry dog to participate in the hunt for this beast. Half-breed dogs are allowed to attack badgers, with a little bit of malice. You can write a lot of articles about fox hunting, but you still can't process and describe everything you need. A dog in a natural burrow should always try to kill
  13. I will not argue, I will only give an old article on a topic that was discussed earlier by a famous German breeder. Malice. Article by Klaus Schultz (v.d. ZEILER KLINGE kennel). Malice is the main quality of the jagdterriers. It is defined as the degree of release of aggressive behavior. Malice is a specific and confusing concept. This quality is not found in any dog breed or any kind of animal in nature. It is because of this that malice is hard to pass on to offspring. A large number of leading breeders pay great attention to this feature. I can confidently say that very few p
  14. Among other things, this allows you to cut off too large dogs.
  15. What I wrote refers to artificial burrows. Scores on trials and competitions are calculated according to the same system. The speed of entering the burrow, the approach to the beast (it is necessary to overcome the narrowing and relief of the burrow), perseverance, voice and courage, and the place of grip are evaluated. The degree of the diploma depends on the number of points. During the trials, the dog works once. At the competition twice. The best dog is selected based on the results of two works. All other things being equal, the speed of operation is considered. Trials are also carried ou
  16. The trials are designed to exclude a subjective assessment of the dog's working qualities. But in many countries, contact with animals in artificial holes is forbidden. In this case, the assessment of the dog is based only on forecasts. There are usually no problems with a normal check. But there are some nuances (in our country). When choosing a dog, it is better to look at diplomas from competitions, not trials. Because during the trials, they can play along with a dog who trained at the station where the tests are taking place, giving her a weak animal. There are always animals of different
  17. To stay on the subject. There was a bull terrier in the Ural Hunter kennel (foxterriers and jagdterriers are bred). Name of IRIN's VISHNU ROSEMARY AFI EFI. It parents are show dogs. It has diplomas: guard duty 1st degree and 3rd place in competitions, field diploma in blood trail 3rd degree, diploma of the 1st degree in aviary badger, diploma of the 2nd degree in wild boar, 2nd place in weightpooling competitions, second place in agility competitions, obedience competitions BH (companion dog) 4th place, RKF show champion. It is very affectionate and calm at home, loves small children and in ge
  18. In addition to the hole, they can be seen at training stations when training hunting dogs and trials. Badgers, like foxes, can be very different in character. Both timid and real fighters who can kick the dog out.
  19. The strongest terriers cling immediately, give voice only if there is an obstacle. But with such dogs it is better not to hunt a badger, but they are needed in breeding and fox hunt. I know a dachshund that has been in a hole for 4 days Badgers can be very aggressive defensively
  20. In badger hunting, the advantage is on the side of the badger. The badger is in its territory, it is much stronger than the dog and can easily maim or kill it. And the dog can't do it. He is well protected from the dog. A badger can lower a dog's nose lobe by a decent degree with one blow of his teeth. It can tear off a lip, a jaw, tear it with claws. Therefore, the bravest dogs do not live long on such hunts. If terriers don't have game, then the English bulldog who fought the bull didn't have it either.
