  1. A first time for the young Jack Russell, 12 months old. Success assured thanks to old Picolo. The burrow was partly flooded.
  2. 67th edition of the underground badger hunting days in France. The first edition dates back to 1956. Two days on the burrows with the judges, the mass of Saint Hubert and blessing of the dogs, the prizes.
  3. In France, badger hunting is being challenged in court. Lots of legal fights, some won, some lost. Badger hunters demonstrated in Limoges (the French love demonstrations).
  4. Pied d'honneur Foot of honor, a tradition of venery in France. When the hunt has been good, to pay tribute to a participant, the Master can give him a foot of the animal. The foot is braided.
  5. They hunted for a quater past one. Obviously they sometimes lost the scent during few minutes, they fell in default.
  6. Vènerie du lièvre en France Hare hunting with hounds
  7. He's drunked ? He's sleeping ? No he's hunting.
  8. Equipage Taisson de la Blaise (green) et Nez de Cuir (gray), that's the end of the badger season here.
  9. During the meeting, no problem with anti. But they are more and more dangerous in media and parliament. Nowadays, we have a lot of urban people who want to ban badger and fox hunting.
  10. On this occasion, we met an old equipage, the Chassignol equipage was founded in 1937. Later They hunted badgers that were intended for medical research (endoctrination phenomena). The badgers were transported alive in crates from Roanne to Bordeaux by train to the laboratory of Professor René Canivenc.

  11. This was before the Covid-19 crisis. Badger hunter crew meeting in France (near Roanne). We have seen wire-haired fox terrier, wire-haired dachshund, smooth-haired fox terrier, jagd terrier, patterdale terrier, welsh terrier working. Beautiful countryside and good friends.
  12. It's White but it reminds me of a black wire-haired terrier.
  13. October 2020, discovery day of badger hunting. This was organized for the students of the Agricultural High School. None of the students know about hunting. The two badgers caught were released. The young people appreciated the work of the dogs.
  14. I have always had patterdales. I have never owned a fox terrier. Friends have it. Sadly, all of my Jack Russells have died in the past two years. Little Betty was definitely the best. Betty 2012 Badger 2009
  15. The three youngest dogs, two brothers and a sister, 18 months now. They made the biggest part of our badger season. Picolo Prunelle Paimpont
  16. A recent little dig, by a cold and sunny weather. The farmer wanted to catch badger but a big fox bitch was inside.
  17. Back to School, boy can draw a nice picture to explain what he did Sunday.
  18. Sunday, last dig of the season, a badger in the first set, a big fox in the second one. Past the 15th of january, we stop badger hunting. It's time for cubs.
  19. Usually, snaring badgers is forbidden. In France, some are allowed to dig them. But in such cases (building, road, canal, cemeteries...) snaring can be allowed under the control of the administration for a couple of months.
