ae y kiding? they are fabulous earth dogs, we use them on fox and badgers. some of them are extremly sharp, rough coated ones.

get the right lines and you`ll have a good earthdog, only thing is they are better at going to ground then getting back up again due to their shape.

i´m sticking with terriers myself.

I know some that are working every Sunday, and do the job very well. 100% sounders and very handy.

as above. they are bred for earth work( although a veru versatile dog above ground too).

as with any breed get one from working stock.

they can be very hard dogs(again depending on breeding).

been out withol.,/['= these dog's dont rate them my self too big in the chest not what i would call a earth dog

not bad for bushing Rabbit old man's dog tbh they work like robots in a pack

 

 

 

you do get teckel that are "big in the chest" as with alot of terrier breeds.

most are bred to standard(spanable) and will work individually ( not just in pack.this is a part of the trials for breeding selection and so not breed typical) on all game/vermin. as i have said before they are the smallest hounds limited only by short legs( bred down to slow the chase of deer and boar).

i'm afraid i don't know anyone who breeds them in the uk you could try "teckelclub1888e.v." (german teckel club e-mail address).
