burrowman 6 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 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. Just wondering are you still huntin with russells, you could do with a killing dog in that rocky ground up your way. Quote Link to post
Bailey 16 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Wouldnt be able to have a guess how many we have dug with this dog but he going into his 8th or 9th season, not a killer but will stand his ground but what matters is that if there is one at home you are digging him if it doesnt bolt.
