Easy to train for hunting, but you can almost forget about obedience They have their own mind about what they wanna do, but you can train them basic obedience, if they want to........

Its a short haired dachs, from working lines, but he's actually to big. They shouldnt be more than 9 kg, mine is about 12,5. I've shot mink, pine marten, fox, roe deer, ferral cat for him, hes also very good as a tracking dog on deer. He's best as a "earth dog" on mink, pine marten and fox. But he will also chase roe deer, red deer and fox from 0,5 to 2,5 hours. Dachs is a very popular breed for roe deer hunting in Norway and Sweden, some hunters also use them as earth dog for badger.

A lot of hunters still use smooth haired fox terriers in Norway, Sweden and Finland.

Minkhunting with Fox Terrier in Norway
Foxterrier replied to Foxterrier's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Not sure what u mean, but the teckel is a popular hunting dog i Norway, Sweden and Finland. It's used for small game as badger, fox, mink, and also for bigger game like roe deer, red deer and so on. A very versatile dog, does both tracking in line, chasing and as a earth dog. -
Minkhunting with Fox Terrier in Norway
Foxterrier replied to Foxterrier's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
The mink can be a big problem during the nesting season, especially for the small seabirds. The mink population varies from area to area, but its usually more mink at the coast. Foxdropper: its a Fox Terrier, not a russel and the mink was alive until i shoot it -
Here's some pictures and a short video from last weekend, to bad u only have show dogs (fox terriers) in UK, enjoy I filmed with my mobile phone, so the video isnt the best quality. I also have a dachs/teckel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNr-G9XJ4p8

Can u measure how big he is ? Weight, height and chest size ? We have quite a few Smooth haired Fox Terriers here in Norway used for hunting, but there also many terriers from pure show lines and they are usually way to big!
-
Just to make it clear, the fox terrier bitch hasn't bolted 150 + badgers, she hold them at bay and the hunters dig down and shoot the badgers. Bolting and flushing is the same isnt ?
-
I guess she has "yaped" at even more, but 150 + has been shot for here
-
BTW our working Fox Terriers will not get many prices at crufts, they are to ugly according to their standards :11: But we try to breed them according to the old standard. The looks isnt only for the showring, the standard is after all written so the dogs would be best fitted for hunting.
-
Well I know about one female fox terrier that has about 150 badgers on here reputation There is one big difference between our way of hunting and your way (Scandinavian vs UK) We don't want our dogs to down and fight the fox or the badger. We want our terriers to go down under earth and flush the fox out to the hunter who's waiting with his gun so he can shoot it. When hunting badger, the dog goes down and hold the bager at bay "yaping away like crazy" so the hunter can locate them and dig down and dispatch the badger. Correct me if im wrong, but to me it seems like u want your dogs

Just wanna post some pictures of Norwegian workin Smooth Haired Fox Terriers. Quite a few hunters use them here in Norway on fox, badger, mink, pine marten and so on.

Mossberg 410 moderated 3 shot
Foxterrier replied to blueranger's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
What kind of supressor is this ? Only seen it 1 time before and that was in the movie "No country for old men" -
Are they used over ground or as earth dogs ? Wired haired seems to be used more on wild boar and tend to be bigger than smooth haired, as far as I know....
-
In scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland) there are smooth haired fox terriers used and only breed for hunting, dont know of any wired haired......

Russian Jagdterrier Badger Trial
Foxterrier replied to cúagusgiorraí's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
This how they test terriers in Russia. The dog is supposed to get a hold of the badgers neck/throat and pull the badger out of the artificial set. These badgers are used for this for many years, so they are familiar with the set and what is about to happen. Dogs who are not trained or a weak, wont be any succesfull against the badger. Animals rights aren't what the russians care much about.... not many tree huggers in russia I guess I've seen video of this with a smooth haired fox terries to, infact the stud I used on my bitch is a Russian champion on this trial and I've seen video of h -
Off topic question. Are dogs stolen by anti-hunters ? Sold to other hunters ? Sold as pets ? Used in dog fighting or training ? Or is it any other reason ?

Pretty common, but I do my best to reduce them and I have succeded in some areas I'm not the only one hunting mink, there are a few other guys who also hunt, but we are not many. There used to be a lot more mink earlier, but I guess there where also a lot more mink farms then. They do great damage to the nesting birds, thats the only problem with mink Imo.
