jawn 449 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 i live outside the uk. if i have to chose between a jagdterrier and a fell/patterdale terrier. Fell/Patterdale teriier all the way!! i've seen some jagds over here and there. they do not use them often to dig. more a big game hunting dog in germany etc. For digging there is nothing better than a patterdale! in my eyes the jagd terrier is OVERRATED. yes there are some good ones, but i think there are a higher % of good patterdales then there are jagds. atb Magpie_Hunter There is also a higher percentage of junk patterdales bred for anything BUT digging. Facts are facts....getting a good terrier OF ANY KIND has more to do with who you get it from than what label you hang on it's ass. There are more patterdales bred for show and pets than there are jagdterriers in the whole US. 1 Quote Link to post
Accip74 7,112 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I should think the vast majority of so called patterdales in Britain are not the real deal for work, they are following in the footsteps of Jack Russell's.... 1 Quote Link to post
jawn 449 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'll bet you a dollar to a dime that more are bred as companion animals than workers.... and it wouldn't surprise me if it's by a margin of ten to one or better. Ten minutes of reading old posts on this forum will tell you you are right Accip74. Sure there are still great dogs being bred....But times have changed. Quote Link to post
Accip74 7,112 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 When I first worked black fell terriers, the general public had never heard of such a dog or 'patterdales', when you started seeing them being walked round shopping malls etc by pet owners....it was the beginning of the decline....

jawn 449 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 As it will be with jagds too.... it's already started. Quote Link to post
Accip74 7,112 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Yes it's inevitable with such a dog that breeds to 'type', the attraction go's beyond hunters... Quote Link to post
Mosby 355 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 America too accip. It's about the quality of the individual not the breed. Look up fell terrier on google images and a bunch of smooth dogs and pet looking dogs doing agility comes up. I've seen jagds that do some amazing things. As far as a great fell vs a great jagd, it's a toss up. As far as earthwork, I haven't seen in person a better dog than the fells. But that's due to size more than style. And as far as people digging them, there are some fine lines for digging I'd love to have a go with. 1 Quote Link to post

jawn 449 Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 No need for a strong dog there! Is this recent j Probably a few months ago.... I owned her brother and two sisters. I gave one to a friend who took a couple of breedings off of her. I had hoped to get her back, but he sold her. I still have one sister and hope to bring this one here soon. Quote Link to post

Mosby 355 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I didn't know that was Cupa in those pics. Nice to see her in action outside the trials. Don't get me too worked up about her coming this side of the pond. 1 Quote Link to post
