Foxgun Tom 75 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Having a tidy up of my book collection in the loft I came across a book called "Hippy The Story of a Dog" (a Dachsbracke! these are hounds not terriers!!) dating from 1943 and written by a former British Ambassador to Germany before WW2 who was very much into hunting with dogs?? I thought a Dachsbracke was very much like a teckel, but there does seem to be major difference's. Does anyone on the forum have any experience of this breed and seen them working? Below is a short movie of Dachsbracke pups playing with a deerskin and one in particular seem's as keen as mustard See link: Tom Edited January 6, 2010 by Foxgun Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Foxgun Tom 75 Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) that's one sticker of a pup,they look interesting Foxgun,what are they bred/used for? Higgins It seems they're scent hounds either work on mainly wild boar or deer, but I also assume they'ed be good on all quarry species fox etc: they will work as a single dog or as part of a pack Tom Ps: adult ragging a dead boar: Pps: adults holding wild boar at bay: Edited January 6, 2010 by Foxgun Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Foxgun Tom 75 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Look quite like large Teckels They are quite a bit longer in the leg but I think they must share a common ancestory and earlier lines Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
