I breed my own. They are half German hunt terrier and half Fell/ Working Lakeland.

They are versatile and they do the job here in the continent: we hunt in the Belgian Ardennes, German Eiffel region, and Holland, to wild boar, track the wounded ones, and we hunt the fox and the grey (in Germany legal), also we have Raccoons in Germany and Enok (raccoon- dog) which are alien invaders and open to hunt with terriers all year.

My best dog is Semtex, a black rough coated female of 8 years: she can do it all.

Half of my terrier pack are her descendants.

Just for the crack, I begin to breed Merle colored working terriers.

My first merle young male is very hard. He is 7 months now and been with the boar, the red and the grey in practice, and he works them all. While we weredoing earths I let the pups go loose with Semtex thinking they wouldn't do any harm. There was a new earth which wasn't there previously and Sem in, the pup as well, out they come with a fox and after that a second fox bolts. We are in the digging season now and fox bolting and digging is legal here.

What's with the merle? Adding the Merle coloration to a line of working dogs seems counter-productive. You're not just adding the "cool looking" coloration- merles are plagued with genetic defects.

KawValley,

(The dog in your atavar is SO good looking)

It's just a flaw of mine.

But as long as you breed merle heterozygous it is reasonably ok. Although mine is mainly white (was not meant to, but both parents seemed to have carried a hidden white gene, only one parent has the merle gene though) he can hear and see fine, is athletic, (you can fold him double) can do many miles of distance, has a thick coat so that until now, he never yet got soaked through to the skin, although being days outside in snow and rain, and he works well, too. He works the spectrum at a young age and gives voice on warm lines, and is also obedient. He never yet got lost at the big sweep hunts to boar, he has a fine orientation. What more does a terrier person want but a fine working terrier?

And when they are so spotted they are very well visible in the field.

We work with and for the Guns over here.

Many times each year, a dog gets shot. A few years ago, an assh*le shot my dog. He said: the dog stood before the pig. So he SAW my dog and shot him straight through the heart, missing the boar, which was shot later on the other side. This was the only dog this pig could not get rid of. I have his daughter still, his replica.

When a dog is well visible and easily separable from the game in looks, the chance of it being shot is less.

I tried all sorts of fluo vests, but they wipe them off in the thorn bushes and at the end of the day, the thing is either in shreds, full of mud because the dog was in a pig wallow or an earth, or not there any more.

And now, I'll try to take a nap of a few hours, which I never can before a hunt, (bit nervous, anxious, hoping the dogs come through o.k.) it is past 9 now and tomorrow I have to get up at 5, load the dogs, be in the Ardennes (3 hours driving) at 8, and hunt boar and stag all day. After the hunt, we have a meal together and when the atmosphere is all right, a song too. It is the last hunt of the season for that hunt and then it is always extra special.

We have a saying in Holland and Germany when you're lucky: you swine, tomorrow I will hopefully swine.(I will, when the game is there.)

I bid you all goodbye.
