    My friend got a call from a local rancher said a cat was killing his cattle. The rancher is now a happy man again.

    looks like yours are used to travelling them rock holes anyway. I only used to avoid the short legged, and barrel chested types... I always enjoyed reading the stories from G.D (rip) in the EDRD magazine, he worked the same sort (jagd) though I got the impression that especially the males could be on the large side? anyway, thats the land you have, and good on you for hunting it, dont be put off, all dogs could die from a multitude of ways each and every time you step out of your front door... good luck mate Thanks man. I have a couple that are closely related to the late G.D.'s

    Sets can be a colloquial term for a multitude of animals Good to hear, you did come across a bit blase earlier, so sorry for being a bit blunt Thanks Moll. I guess I take it for granted that they are gonna get themselves killed. Doesn't keep me from getting that knot in my stomach at the thought. I get so used to hunting with a particular dog, or pair of dogs that it takes some time to make the switch when one does go. I catch myself wishing I had this or that dog back on a given day. But it is what it is.. and I hate t.v. so we hunt.

    Been thinking to use the bitches though. They seem smarter most of the time.lol

    I have them from about14.5 to about 11 inches at the shoulder. Kind of tightly wound but honst workers. Great locators and will work all day long. I was worried a little about them getting into trouble in the cliffs because of the high drive.

    I have only jagdterriers. But they are all different in how they are put together, and have different qualities. Some are all forward geared, some not. Some are stout compact dogs, and others athletic. Size varies.

    Thanks man! I appreciate it..

    The thing is... I don't want to lose dogs. I put a fair amount of work into them from an early age. A good one is hard to come by, and deserve to be treated well. This is the land I have to hunt. The dogs range out in search of game. I am not always right there either. I am not making light of the fact that I may not see a dog again. But everything here is a disaster waiting to happen. The marshes are no picnic either. But I enjoy hunting my dogs and realize the risk. This is what I am talking about. What type of terrier is best suited?

    The point was I am a novice on my best day. There is a ton of practical knowledge here that a person in my shoes could probably benifit from. There are types of hunting that I feel qualified to speak on. This isn't one of them. That's all. The most practical piece of knowledge you can get from anybody here is do not put a dog into places like that.It is not right to subject any animal to such a death.Myself like other people on here lost dogs down the years those that I dug out dead it is not nice,but i knew they were dead.Those that i could not find,it was a terrible feeling lying in bed a

I presumed your first post was along the lines you are a novice, and what should you do....my answer was if you do not know what you are doing then dont let your dog enter such difficult places. Then you reply, you have hunted like this for years. Then you replied to my

    WIth all due respect Oldred58 everything I do with dogs comes with risk. I lost a really nice gyp last weekend to a boar hog. She died doing what she is for. We should all be so lucky.

    Thanks man.. that is no question something I have thought long and hard about. Moll man I have hunted this land for years. I have little chance of keeping terriers out of the rocks. I don't like the idea of gaint lizards eating them either... but we still hunt

I know the luck won't hold so I thought I woud ask some of you that send you dogs in where there is absolutely zero chance of getting them out if they get stuck some advice. What should I know up front? Any help you can give a newbe?

    This is an interesting thread. I have been working some dogs in the sides of some very rocky hills in central Texas. I have no experience with this kind of hunting but enjoy it. I will say it scares me though. It is very remote and inaccessable, so it is to a large extent up to the dog. I have mixed feelings about it, but the area is full of game. There really isn't much doubt that I will loose some dogs here. I don't know of anyone over here that has experience with this type of thing so any advice would be appreciated. If I need to start a new thread I will. Thanks

    If any of you decide to part ways with your copy of the origional book I would be willing to pay two or three hundred dollars for it. I wouldn't mind learning more about some of these old dogs.

    This is sound advice.. Some dogs will just shut down if you get stern with them too soon. Jagds are really bad about this. Doesn't seem to matter how hard the dog is either. Better to take your time and go about it the right way like Skycat says..If you do it right you will never have to assault your dog with a rabbit..LMAO

    That's funny mister! lol Sounds like you have a hard case.. Better use two rabbits and put some umph into it. HAHAHA! Be glad it's not deer! HAHAHAHA!!!!!

    No worries friend. When stupid shows up in Texas it stays a while so I am no stranger to those mornings. When it comes to the dogs I hunt..I never discourage them from finding them while they are young. They are too young to handle anything else and I believe it makes them better locators later on. Usually as they get some age on them and get bit a few times they start ignoring the rabbits in favor of a fight. Not all of them.. but most of them. If they they get to an age where I will hunt them on a target species I will break them off all unwanted game with an e-collar. Works like a char

    Ohh sorry! lol I thought the picture gave it away.....hunt the rabbits!
  23. jawn
    This isn't as hard as some would have you believe. Get out and shoot a rabbit. Firmly grasp the rabbit by the back legs. While stepping on your dogs lead beat the snot out of the dog with the rabbit until it seperates from the legs or the dog will no longer have anything to do with it. Then hunt the dog. You may every so often have to repeat the process to insure it's effectivenes... or you could just buy an e-collar.lol There is also a third option By wohleb12 at 2011-12-09

    Nice feists! Looks like a great place to hunt. I am using the jagds on squirrel. We have a pecan orchard and squirrel are public enemy number one. We eat all we can and give the rest to the dogs. Pecans and squirrels..lol Never heard of a yorkshire tree hound Paddybarr.. Good lookin dogs!
