I take it your uncle isnt a dog man mate as there are plenty of fox killers within all breeds .Forget preban to mate as there isnt one .

[Guest fence_hopper]

yer mate a very good one at that had alot of good dogs even had russels but he never rated them but he would never own sh*te. im after a different point of view from people that may of owned ones that did the job required of them. im not wanting an arguement im only wanting to see if he's wrong see if anyone can make me see a different light, as i'm open minded when it comes to dogs and would like to see some russels that have proved this. im not saying russels are no good

JRT have made great foxers, great digger dogs but they have recently become lap dogs.

 

As a lad in the 70's, I recall my Dad having over 40 JRT's at one stage, and developed a strong line of eager hunters, working as a pack or an individual on badgers as well as foxes. Very agile underground, fearless and relentless agression, but easy to handle/maintain.

 

However, they did tend to get grumpy with age.

seen plenty that would do one to ground some got plenty stick doing it others learn the knack .A well known breeder of white dogs reckon he has never had one but none of his ever bayed either ..It is a knack certain ones learn

Funny that ive been told several times that a dog cant kill foxs to ground, yet my eldest has done it twice.

was told i must be telling lies...but then again the guy owns a black dog

Brian nuttal said to me "when you get a good jack russel, they're better than any of these black uns, its just that you dont know what you're getting when you breed"

I took it that he was talking about the percentage of workers in a litter. Anyway i thought it was quite something for him to say.

 

By the way i keep black dogs.

i have seen some very good russells work and i have seen some shite black dogs work.

[Guest fence_hopper]

thanks for the replys lads bit of a mixed opinion there, it's down to luck buy the sounds of it you get a good one or you don't same as any terrier or lurcher. anyone got a pre ban picture of a russel please. am just curiouse to see the difference in the apperence as you see alot of jacks these days that look abit dodgy would like to see what a proper grafter looked like thanks al

he's just like anyone else fat little focker nothing speciel but respected for his terriers for some reason and i suppose theres nothing you don't know like most of the tossers on this site, im not questioning my uncle im asking for opinions on jack russels if you have nothing important to add why bother wasting your time.
