    noisy harris

    waidmann replied to gwill09's topic in Falconry

    i take it you have him down to moult and he is high in weight?? mine was noisy for the first week or so too (mhh) he is at "fat weight" of 1lb 12 and a half and has shut up completly. i would ask your mentor to have a look at possible causes ( i am in my first season too!! first call when in doubt is my mate who bred the bird). i wish you all the best, waidmannsheil

    have used both bitches and dogs in the past (just dogs now as they are kept indoors). found the bitches slower to start but use the head more (apart from biting!!) once going they are steady. dogs seem keener to start but seem to get keener the more experiance they get. either becoming suicidal (on larger quarry) or learning their lesson and thinking a wee bit too lol. bth have their merrits. a well trained dog/bitch from good stock,given the time should realise its potential. as above i have had two bitches ( a parson and a working fox terrier) which could not be let anywhere ne

    in larger earths it is possible for the fox to lodge with the badger. (as will raccoon) the ground sign normally shows who is home (latrines,bedding indicative of brock and a mess of bones and fur and feather showing charlie may have her cubs etc et) experiance isthe key thing to have and you get it by making mistakes or listening and watching ( the latter two being preferable lol). having hunted in a country where both quarry are legal i can say that badger will take on man made earths of as little as 20 cm width and fox will happily co inhabit earths of badger (the germans call it " c

    do the job right mate and get someone with a suitable deer conditioned centrefire to help you with the job. i'm sure if you ask on here you'll find someone near to you who will help until you can apply for a rifle of your own atb alan. sound advice there bud. waidmannheil!

    I see where ya coming from, but if the laws different in his country why should he have to lie because of what people in britain might think, anyway not argueing about it. ye i know wat ur saying mate but wit stories like that it wont be long before hunting foxes is ban in his country as above the lad isneither writing in his own language nor is he subject to our laws (i dont think we can judge him by our standards) i personally would not have let the young dog "have a second go" on a wounded fox (which will not bolt and fight hard) but hey, he knows the dog not me

    feed it and smother it in beech tar ( not poisonous) and you wont need to kill it as its owners will do that when it goes home and jumps on the sofa lol. waidmannsheil

    build up the confidence on rats when the pup has his adult teeth and you feel he is ready bud. waidmannsheil!

    same as any other purse net with a good anchor bud. double draw cord is a good idea at this length, waidmannsheil!

    around here you are better not leaving the house without one lol. when it comes to the knife then practice makes perfect ( nothing could look worse than at an rta a " bodge job" in front of "innocent bystanders") and the heart is always a good option if in doubt, covering the head sounds a good tip too ( i have never done or heard of it tbf, most of my follow ups involved a dog and in that case the quarry is either dead or " held fast"). the public is watching in these cases so a professional and fuctional approach is essential. waidmannsheil!!!

    have two 8ft here ( made for a time waster, you know who you are). 15 quid posted

    the knife should be the second option imho ( if safety forbids the use of a firearm/shotgun). when dispatching deer i normally cut the throat through to the atlas and leave the head attached by the rear muscles and skin only,this allows the bleed out and the deer is dead in seconds. the atlas severance from the rear often takes practice to get it right ( i have done follow ups with a few men who could do this, and more than a few who couldn't). seperating the atlas vertibrae with a "sau feder" (pig spear/lance) should not be tried unless you are very confident!!!! they hurt more than a

    not knowing the outcome of her first "experiance" i would go along with this reply tbf. (not that the others are wrong in their advice). plenty of time next season for her to "work in",at the moment the vixen will fight very hard. locator and give her a whirl if you must. as above cubs are not a real test of the dog ( the vixen may be when protecting them!!! if needs be then they must go but otherwise..........). the very best of luck with the dog whatever you decide to do and be happy she is willing and able bud. still a young one,so plenty of digs/bolts to come no doubt. waidmann

    at least some of us don't stereo type a breed " having seen a dog/heard of a dog" or otherwise not having a bloody clue. a good reply here mate. waidmannsheil!!
  18. waidmann
    Must disagree on this point, i use them alot on badger, and alot of others across here too, but same as any breed you've got to find the right stain/breeding for your own needs. Some strains are not good digging terriers, its not even country specific, you must know who you buying from and what kind of hunting he's breeding for, but surely thats the case with any dog have not had trouble with them on badger or raccoon tbf waidmannsheil
  19. waidmann
    you just buy them like that or see a vet in england bud.

    as above the breeding will give the dog the potential, training will make a good dog. if the stud is well bred and has no obvious faults (gunshy,very nervous,overly aggressive.......faults in the form) then i would not have reservations on taking a pup on. atb waidmannsheil!

    the jagd terrier split from the foxterrier club in germany as they were gettint too show orientated,and bred a strain of dogs purely for work,the colour come reputedly from the manchester terrier (before whippet was bred in),i'm sure you could find out exactly how they were bred through the "djtv e.v." the odgs are as was intended a pure work horse, high drive and will to find (mostly only have two gears, both froward and the second is rage!!!!). cracking dogs for all types of work above and below. (they are reputedly dumb, i would disagree on that point. some good kennels out the

    i see we must agree to disagree on the point that a teckel can and will work all day long. i have worked teckel ove years above and below ground ( i automaticly presumed when we spoke of ground work that rabbits were not the target and that we were speaking of standard/dwarf teckel which are also very game dogs) i have never found the teckel (or jagd for that matter) to be lacking in any department they were trained work (bushing,wide searching for boar and deer,tracking (warm and cold trail up to 100 hours on trials) but that may be because i tend not to hunt with fashion concious pet

    the dachs hound is a "pure breed" the only categories are due to size and weight, standard,dwarf, and rabbit teckel ( they really are tiny, and really are used like a ferret lol). waidmannsheil!
  24. waidmann
    i am not doubting your experiance of teckel (or their owners, i have seen enough belgian and dutch turning up at shows in germany!!). but surely you are confusing the teckel with a dachshund? ( teckel is a working dachs hound). any teckel used for a follow up on "flighty" ( fluechtiges) game/wild is not at fault for his lack in speed but his handler for taking on too much for his dog!!!!!! ( any follow up requireing a chase ( hetz) should be done by a dog capable of catching and holding!) ground sign will dertermine whether any dog can folllow up, if not available ( 1000 reasons for this, ov

    a well informed reply there!!! i would disagree that the teckel has bowed/crooked legs and that it is not capable of 20 = miles a day on driven shoots though. the only problem i have seen with teckel is that they have trouble in snow ( short legs!!!! then they will be slow to react when attacked by boar, i have seen more jagd terrier and bigger dogs "hit" than teckel tp be fair). hut ab und waidmannsheil!!! edited to add, some of the best earth dogs i have seen have been teckel (never had one get stuck yet, allthough it is true that the short legs may hinder jumping the long back he
