I didn't think your comment was directed at me specifically buddy....and I'm not sure what man made tunnel videos from Europe have to do with anything, but you're more than welcome to come down and see for yourself what and how we hunt, or like I said I can probably hook you up with Harlow who has some great jagds he digs to on a "regular basis." Our dogs are free cast and they can get a little bit rangy..... but they work to ground too. Once deer season is over I'll get you some pics of them working the rocks.... I can assure you... it's not as easy as you think. I think it would be cool

Thank you! Yes... as you probably know you almost have to.... if they don't know their place.... being jagds they will act up and make living with them unpleasant. I'm lucky in that my youngest loves them.... my wife hates the ground they walk on, but loves the bulldogs.

I could post pictures of them on game.... but it probably isn't appropriate. We hunt them above and below... on whatever lives wherever we're hunting it. Hogs... coon... coyote.... fox.... and unfortunately skunk and possum... rabbit... duck.... dove... etc. Our digs are shallow when we can dig... usually no more four or five feet. If digging is all that you do your probably fine with what you have. If you need dogs that locate...above or below... I doubt you find better than the jagd. You're welcome to come and hunt any time your up for it..... if you want to hunt with someone who dig

Same litter a week or two later

Introduction to wing and gunfire... I included a short video.

As you can see we only use a very small piece so as not to make it too easy. They must follow the trail all on their own for over a hundred yards. The difficulty increases with age. My youngest daughter and assistant Miss Molly Jo

Here is a picture of a pup after completing a drag... we tie a small piece of what ever critter we kill to a small string and drag it all over the place... we them release the pup at watch as it figures out the trail and the game of hide and seek. This is the reward game of tug of war at the end.

We start exposing them at a very young age to build confidence and get them used to the various types of game and situations they will encounter.

Here is one of the many small caves that snake through the hills. We have never lost a dog in this particular spot so we let them take their time and go in as far as they choose.

@Rabbit Hunter.... I removed the photos per your request. As for having two dogs in the hole, sometimes people use a bay dog and drop in a grittier type at the end of the dig, I'm not sure that was the case here nor do I care. They will likely do what works best where they do it. @Pitdawg913....I thought we covered this a couple of days ago. Many of the areas we hunt are un-diggable..... The dogs work the rocks and you couldn't dig to them with a backhoe. To their credit they do what they were born for in very tough conditions. I've lost two dogs to ground this year. The one I mentioned to y

What country is that in mate? Is it Serbia, where you are importing your Jagds from? I have imported them from everywhere....This bitch is half Serb half Slovakian.

Probably a few months ago.... I owned her brother and two sisters. I gave one to a friend who took a couple of breedings off of her. I had hoped to get her back, but he sold her. I still have one sister and hope to bring this one here soon.

As it will be with jagds too.... it's already started.

I'll bet you a dollar to a dime that more are bred as companion animals than workers.... and it wouldn't surprise me if it's by a margin of ten to one or better. Ten minutes of reading old posts on this forum will tell you you are right Accip74. Sure there are still great dogs being bred....But times have changed.

There is also a higher percentage of junk patterdales bred for anything BUT digging. Facts are facts....getting a good terrier OF ANY KIND has more to do with who you get it from than what label you hang on it's ass. There are more patterdales bred for show and pets than there are jagdterriers in the whole US.

There are some good dogs in Hungary.

Here we try and focus them at an early age on drags and later tracks....We also introduce them to water early on. As they age we work on obedience, retrieving, and locating game. They tend to think they are ready to take on all comers at an early age... so we hold them back and let them mature. We free cast them like hounds.... work the rocks... and basically use them for everything. The biggest problems they have are coyotes.... and stopping dog wise hogs. Though I will say that they stick with them.... sometimes for miles and it's not unusual for them to come wandering back to camp the next
