im not saying there s not some good jagd terriers that work to ground but there no better than a decent lakie russell or black dog as for high prey drive every decent dog that enters an earth and is willing too stay till job is done has high prey drive as some call it as for mosby trying to say that the terriers over here are tested less well the good dogs in good kennells work too ground all the time no bushing no hunting barn s just earth work thats were they show there true worth anda terrier that is not used to ground is either not up to scratch or there owner is not up too testing them t

extreme prey drive ! would the word determination not suit better as in enough determination to stay with quarry untill dug which can be many hours and even days depending on were quarry is holed up or in some sad cases staying too it actually cost some dogs there lives ! i ve read these posts on the jagd terriers many times and heard lads call them hard dogs high prey drive wont back down well a good hard seasons digging they be like the rest of the hard dogs i ve seen either using there voice or standing out beside you after spewing. plus these dogs are bred from dogs that were originally br

im not doubting that there are some good one s still left out there fat man and 300 euro is not a bad price for a working dog but surely you cannnot condone these clowns asking stupid prices for pups out of ratters in my opinion these people are in it more for the money than the actually working side of the breed at end of day its a bad terrier that wont kill a rat collies lurchers etc even excell at this type of work then on the other side of the coin you have the lads that breed and work there dogs proper be it russellls lakies black dogs etc they always have a decent worker in there yard an

paying that sort of money for a border out of as someone says good bushing/ratting sire and just a ratting dam is laughable my god the good ol border is doomed in the future. if you s so called saviours of the border worked them proper breed out of tested bitches and shared the spare pups out among like minded lads it would suit a lot better also heard a so called border worker say on here on a diff post one time i paid so much money for the dam of the pups why should i give them away for free i need too get my money back the bitch had cost 400 he had 6 pup for sale at 450 each if i remember c

you dont need a hard dog for digging just a dog that will stay till dug well said brog too be honest a proper hard dog is limited give me a steady sounder that holds his ground and stays like the mother in law any day of the week this type is the one that is most difficult to breed
