Vietnam wasn't difficult, it was our politicians that were difficult. That could have been over in quick order. With a military that is as large as the next 6 largest militaries, I don't think that out capability of winning is the issue.

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.

I doesn't sound like you've seen a smart fighting dog. They are very efficient and very fast at getting a critter dead. Much more so over the course of 10 critters than any other type. Most of my dogs are on the neck and the critter out cold by the time I get to them. Rarely do I have to go in and finish it. Those cases happen when the critter happens to be to large for the dog to finish alone, in which case I try to avoid those scenarios as much as is possible. I'm not talking about some sort of bay dog. I'm talking about hard fighting terrier types. I had a Jagdterrier male that it

I thought he was talking crap. Terriers with fighting styles, has to be a yank. Terrier men talk about work, fools talk about fighting styles. Keep letting people tell you how to talk and you'll keep loosing what few rights you have left. And you being an American should know, you's probably have the strictest hunting laws in the world. Land of the free my ass. So keep digging a hole for the working terrier in the States with your macho bullshit and keep comments like "fighting style" to the American forums. Oh and by the way, working a terrier underground is illegal in some St

Smart! I've been half playing with the idea of another lurcher and decided if I did I'd want something small, robust and gritty with plenty of terrier blood. 'That' catches my interest! What do you hunt/do with it? Everything except birds. When I broke Diesel off of my chickens he quit birds completely.
-
Not a problem.

It's only my opinion, based on how I like to use terriers. It's only relevance is to the type of terrier used in a lurcher cross because terrier based lurchers are not working under ground so their fight style that is contributed to a lurcher has different requirements. I just thought it might be something to consider under the circumstances.

What is a Patterdale to you mush?a black terrier perchance,a black terrier that evolved from far gamer terriers than are available now and terriers that lent their ancestry and breeding to the black terrier now that the numpty,s call Patterdale,the nearest thing to a patterdale terrier is a Black and tan Lakey.the majority of modern black terriers have been saturated with staff because the breeders looked for a quick fix in failed kennels and thats a fact that modern Black terrier ownership cannot escape from. I'm going to add my 2 cents here because I have a strong opinion about the pat

Toby kept two females out of that litter. Has one or two other dogs. He uses them to flush game for his hawks and eagles. mostly they hunt hare with the birds but he and a friend of his hunt coyotes with the eagles and dogs. It looks like something I'd like to see one day, similar to the video that out there of the Mongolians hunting wolves with eagles. I believe another pair of males from that litter are hunting up in Montana. That's all I know about where they went. The two Toby has seem to be doing really well...just an upgrade on the speed and power of the Jagdterrier. It seems

No, those are three of the ten or so pictures I've taken of him in his lifetime. I take some pictures of my dogs here at home for my records but very rarely think to take my phone out while I'm out working them. Chalk it up to the generation I was born in. I'm not old yet but it isn't far away. I'm 47 but I feel like I'm 30. I still remember dialing phones and then feeling like my family was pretty cool when we got a push button phone with an extra long cord.

Tough as nails, top speed around 60 k.p.h. (38 m.p.h.) Fights like a champ, runs track and bushes excellent, silent on track and on course 48.5 cm (19 inches) @ 12.25 kg (27 lbs.), with big teeth, good retrieve, excellent with kids but death to critters. This is Diesel. He's the pick male out of the litter linked earlier in this thread.

I'll throw that in the plan, thanks.

Fold them up in their wings and plant them in a bush. Bring the dog through and let them find it. Nudge the bird with your foot and it flies off. Shoot it and the dog retrieves. I spent a few years training bird dogs. I spent 7 years living on a hunt club that sold around 30K pheasants, chucker's and quail each year. I've planted birds for 1000 bird hunts all the way down to 1 bird. I'm a pretty fair hand with folding up birds and know how to keep them. I know how to catch them a few at a time, like when birds escape from the pen or scratch birds come back to the pen but I'm no expe

I want to trap some pigeons for working the dogs. It's perfectly legal to bat them over here as they are not protected. Any advice on the best attractant bait for pigeons? Keep in mind there are piles of corn and other things around every farm here and I'll need something that really draws them in.

are u the man that has the deerhound types that hunts the coyotes. Dan Edwards hunts coyotes more than I do. He lives about 10 hours South of me in open country. I live on the edge of the great Northern forest so things are a little different hunting coyotes up here. We have plenty though. I prefer tree game and while I do hunt coyotes a fair amount, I run a lot of bobcat, coon and fox up here. I also run my dogs to birds and other stuff when the getting is good. I mix hounds, stags and lurchers most days.

That looks very much like one of mine...a real powerhouse.

Good stuff, I'm going to try the Red Cell. I don't think I can find that stuff in the states but it should be about the same.
-
Does anyone use Red Cell for their dogs and if so, what can you tell me about it?
-
Even the kids have there own units. It keeps me from having to go look for them. If they have a garmin, a collar and a cell phone they can just run wild in our woods. After that all they have to watch out for is bears. Saw a sow and three cubs walking down the road just yesterday. We've got around 20 different bears moving through our woods, which is what I would guess is about a 3 mile radius. Dang things are all over the place. We have more bear than raccoons. Garmins totally pay for themselves and then some. It's bad economics for a dog man to be without one.
-
Cheaper than loosing a dog by a long shot. Also, if your dog does some running it will save you that much in gas over a season or two. Plus, getting to mark all of your favorite places, mushroom spots, best parking places, ect., ect.

I've had quite a few Jagdterriers. Most of mine are very friendly if I'm there but terrors when I'm not. I've had friends that fed dogs for me while I'm out of town and the Jagdterriers have not only tried to bite them but some went airborne and tried to get them by the neck. They don't fool around at all. They're great dogs if given discipline at an early age and you can catch nearly anything on the planet with them. I've run everything we have here with them including bears and coyotes. I have friends that have run them on mtn. lions. I know of a guy in British Columbia, Canada that g

If you want to have something like that check out Nova Scotia. I have a friend up there that is a commercial fisherman. He told me that anytime I want to come out, he can take me to any one of many, many, many islands. He said they are loaded with coyotes, bobcats and coon. The size and topography of the island is up to me, there's all kinds. It's like having your own hunting preserve and you can pick a different one every week. He also said it's rarely over 23.88 C and rarely lower than -6 C if I have my conversions right. It's 75 and 20 in F. Pretty tough not to be comfortable in tha
