eastcoast 4,093 Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Victor_84, what's the criac with the Ural Hunter Kennel that you mention, The Fox Terriers. That phenotype of terrier is the product of English show breeding, we never worked a dog of that type. It fascinates me that people in other countries find them capable of work. 1 Quote Link to post
Victor_84 188 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 (edited) We usually used fox terriers, dachshunds and welsh terriers, then jagd terriers. Border terriers have also appeared relatively recently. Edited May 19 by Victor_84 1 Quote Link to post
