[danny boi 0]

ive seen a couple of fellas around my way with dogs that are absolutely tiny!!

 

ive spoken to these fellas before so i asked about the dogs,

 

one said to me they are jack russelxchiuawua (sp)

 

and have been bread to use instead of ferretts they said they will do the buisness like??

 

and its taken 25 years to get the breeding right?

 

anyone used or heard of these dogs before??

 

regards

I knew lads years and years ago that used russells as rabbit dogs in place of ferrets. They were pure though but very small. Haven't seen one like that for ages.

Some lads around my way have done the same, added chiuaua

to their jacks to make minni jacks they claim are good for ferreting.

 

Havent actually see them doing any though.

 

My jacks grandfather is a chiuaua, and I was givern him by

one of these lads, but though he can get rabbits in cover, and get

down a few rabbit holes, he has yet to bolt any, or draw any from

a warren. He is 10"

They are breeding them locally. A customer of mine has one. Very small. I'll try to get a picture in the week if I remember to take the camera.

YES!!!

 

Why would anyone want to spend 25 years breeding a type of dog to do a ferrets job??

Bearing in mind ferrets have been doing the job for god knows how long without the need for improvement??

An absolute waste of alot of years if you ask me

Smart little dog mate.

i think it might have been because if a ferrett makes a kill to ground then it rests up wich means a dig and i know that that comes with the territory but if a dog makes the kill it can be trained to retrieve? or just called out.

just an idea??

 

y.i.s.
