Are you intersted in the Standard or the Mini? Bid differnce in size. My friend hunts Mini long hairs in the States very nice dogs.

You do need to keep them under control, they will riot.

[thepoacher 6]

didnt know you could get different sizes i do a lot of bushing and ferreting suppose mini size would suit me like the look of wirehaired boar coloured type

[cúagusgiorraí 57]

standard size Teckel is small enough as it is mate. Even then sometimes my fella struggles to get up ditches and over walls when hunting.

[thepoacher 6]

what height tts are they mate and can they last all day hunting do they have the right attitude for ferreting thanks for any information thepoacher

[cúagusgiorraí 57]

well poacher!

they certainly arent a poacher's dog!

They are very vocal and any bit of interesting scent makes them open up and get excited. I personally would not use them as a ferreters dog. I prefer a quieter thinking type dog for that, not a loud, excitable Teckel. They make excellent bushing dogs for rabbits, foxes and birds in cover.

My 7 month old pup was hunting all day last February, and was well able for it. I have trouble now that he is older to keep his energy contained. He has this bottomless resource of stamina for such a small dog. Getting him fit now, I can excercise him for 30 minutes straight with a flirtpole and he hardly even pants or shows signs of exhaustion. He is always giving 110%. My dog is 9 1/2 inches to the shoulder. He can go wherever a fox or hare can go.

If you are going to hunt with one of these, make sure you have permission to hunt, because the farmer will soon know, by all the noise the dog makes!
