Raven, my best Jagdterrier so far:
-
Nice, I've had a couple of nice English hounds. The dumbest dog I've had was also an English hound. My buddy had a nice English hound that was one of the best dogs I've seen, but he was out of a line of great dogs. I've had about 5 Treeing Walkers that were very nice and another five that ended up feeding worms. I've hunted with many, many more. For the most part, I like a dog that is a little more biddable than the Treeing Walkers and English Hounds. That is why I gravitated towards the American Leopard Hounds. They are like the other hounds but with brains. I like a dog that hunts al

Just do an image search for: Mountain Feist Mullin's Feist Hybrid Feist Cajun Squirrel Dog There's piles of images. Certainly more than I could post here. If you want to check out the cur dogs look up: Kemmer Mountain Cur Tennessee Treeing Brindle Stephens Cur Canadian Cur Yellow Black Mouthed Cur Original Mountain Cur Treeing Curs are any cross of a Mtn. Cur to a hound or feist or some other line of cur. The coonhound breeds are: American Black & Tan American Leopard Hound Redbone Bluetick Treeing

Always liked Plotts too but except for bear, there are other breeds that will do a better job on everything else...a lot better.
-
I've only owned two Plotts but have hunted quite a bit with them on bear and some on coon. They are the cats ass for bear as they are very brave and like to have their teeth in something. They are crap for coyotes. The Treeing Walkers are way better for coyotes and they aren't even close to the running bred dogs like Walkers, Julys and Triggs. For all around dogs for tree game and coyotes too, I would gowith the Treeing Walker. For Bobcats, bear and coon I would go with American Leopard Hounds. The name is stupid and I've always thought so because no one hunts leopards with them, it's jus

I still coon hunt but Raven's been dead for at least a decade. I mostly hunt the Leopard Hounds for coon. If I go all night I can expect to bring home 10 coon if it's a decent night, some times more and most times a few less. Hunting the corn before harvest is fun but some times the cornfield races take a little longer to end up at the tree so it's not the most efficient way to do it, just the most fun. Still, got to go where they are, so if they are in the corn then that's where I'll be. I go as often as I can. Wife's been working extra late recently so I've only been out in the mor

That's all they have to do. It's still not that easy to find a good one when you want one though. That guy sure did.

Just talked to friend that has shipped dogs to the UK recently and she said it costs about $800 (USD), plus the health checks at the vets. Mtn. Cur pups usually go for around $300. Trained dogs are 3-10 times more. Their a lot more fun to raise and train yourself anyhow. I would think that after all is said and done it should be around $1000. That works out to 760 pounds for the pup, shipping and health certs.

Those feist dogs have been bred for a couple of hundred years for their treeing ability. If I were real serious about it I would be after a mtn. cur because it's easier to find a great one, though if you know where to go, it's the same way with feists. I'm just not as impressed with the feists. There are a couple exceptions. The Mullins feists and the McAndrews feists are top notch. I hunted with a dog called Dummy, a McAmdrews feist, that was nearly as good as my Jagdterrier that I was competition hunting with at the time. Both of those dogs were out classed for competition hunting by a

I got a big sucker that looks like a gigantic wild mink, he would be perfect for the job.

Someone told me about two separate magazine polls. One was in Country Life and one was in Ebony. Each poll asked what peoples 3 biggest fears were. The results of the Country Life poll was Nuclear War, A Major Terrorist Attack and A Close Family Member Dying. The results from the Ebony poll were Ghosts, Dogs and The Mail Man. One time I was visiting a girl down in New Orleans, Louisiana and her roommate had a black lab. I went for a walk one morning and asked the roommate if I could walk her dog for her. Every single black person on the street moved to the other side of the street

Does any part of the UK or Ireland have raccoons?
-
Never done it. I would imagine around $600 but I don't know. I'll ask around.

I used to have a squirrel dog that was a mtn. cur x mullins feist. His name was Buddy and he was the single smartest dog I've ever owned. He was a great squirrel dog and a good coon dog but it was his other antics that really made me think. He could navigate traffic like you or I. He was supremely aware of what everyone around him was doing at all times. He also had a route of about 8 miles around the area and he would go out once a week and check all of the female dogs along this route. He ran loose most of his life and I nearly never had to look for him. He and a terrier I had removed

I had a Jagdterrier female that made up to 2nd in the nation on the squirrel dog of the year list. Our last trial was in Oct. and shortly thereafter she started sliding down the list as there are plenty of trials after Oct. in the South. I only competition hunted for two years for squirrel but it was a fun time. I got pretty hooked on running bobcats and everything else went by the wayside. I nearly won the Leopard Hound World Hunt but my dog trashed off on a bobcat that kept jumping out of the trees and took the cast quite a ways out. We had a 70+ year old man in the cast and had a

Does anyone out there have lurchers that tree? I would like to know if you have and what cross did it. I'm expecting a collie cross but anything could happen.
-
In all seriousness Navek, that's the most fun I've had all week. Your welcome at my place any time. My wife nearly had an accident when she read your part about me being a hillbilly. That was pretty good.

While I've not seen a Beddy here in the states, I have owned around 40 Jagdterriers. I've also trained quite a large number of hounds. I used to train bird dogs in my early 20's. Out of all of the dogs I've trained, some of the most versatile dogs I've ever seen have been Jagdterriers. Treeing, running track, retrieving, blood trailing, ground work, barn work and on and on and on. Over the years I've read time and again, discussions about the rarity of Beddies that are actually worked. It seems to me that the cross has worked for so long that people just make the cross anyhow.

Arabic, like in London? Don't worry, we'll probably bail you out of that one too, ya snaggle toothed plonker. He's a small dog, maybe he could climb in your dogs hand bag when it gets cold out and you and your "significant other" could take care of him for me over the winter. The world does what we say so I figure that means we won all of the wars, in one way or another. Maybe if you muppets just brought in some German women you could get enough work done and make some money so you wouldn't have to drink flavored water and you could afford a beer once in a while.
-
You should get out more. And we are the best at everything...more often than not. You can be too but it's going to take a lot of work. I suggest you start with a better dentist, you snaggley toothed freak.

And by the way, if the pilgrims never came here I wouldn't be shooting bows and arrows, I'd be back there with you speaking German.
-
That's a funny thing to say for someone that lives in a country that wouldn't even exist, if it weren't for Americans you'd be speaking German right now...so there's that.you tried to avoid getting involved till the war was at its end. How did Vietnam goAmerica would exist as it is today if it wasn't for the pilgrims, you'd still only have bow and arrows America was a known place well before the Pilgrims got here. There were whites here before the Injuns. There were also giants with red hair. Before that the Annunaki, Nephilim, Raphiem, etc., etc. The Templars were hiding crap over here

you lost though Technically speaking, yeah. The last to leave the field is the winner.
