Imported Jagdterriers

[unlacedgecko 1,466]

I have been given the opportunity to import some Jagdterriers from Hungary. The dogs are owned and kept by a friend of one of my Hungarian friends. They are of the line of Astor Von Astrata, a famous Serbian dog.

 

I thought I would offer you gentlemen the opportunity to own and work some dogs of this bloodline. The cost for an imported pup, including microchip, pet passport, vaccines and delivery to the UK is E800 per pup. If anyone would like anymore information, or to register their interest, PM me.

£800 for a pup, what makes these terriers worth that amount of cash then, compared to the terriers we already have ?

[jagd.lad 31]

Its the cost of importing them that sticks the price up I paid £1000 for my bitch importing but paid £480 for my pup that I got from over here.

I've seen videos of jagds working and they weren't any better/harder than alot of patterdales I've seen

would like to see this terrier working over here but to the original poster,do you honestly think someone will pay that money to import a dog to better what is here all ready?the only folk that this will interest is the people who can see pound signs in a foreign dog who people are interested in.Not been smart just my opinion.

Thanks for the questions and interest guys. I offer no opinion as to whether these dogs are any better or worse than current British terrier breeds.

 

For a bit of background, these animals are owned by a gentleman who lives in Eastern Europe. In that region, it is impossible to deny permission to hunt on your land (by law). Similar to the German hunting regime, if anyone is familiar with it, the country is divided up into hunting clubs which then manage the hunting in their area. If you are a member of the hunt club you have carte blanche to dig within your hunting area.

 

These dogs are worked regularly and completely legally to fox and badger below ground, and to wild boar during driven hunts above ground.

 

These dogs are pedigree registered dogs. Pedigree dogs are not cheap. Pieces of paper may not matter to a lot of people, but on the continent they are considered very important within certain circles. On the continent, a pedigree Parson Russell will set you back £850, before any import costs are applied.

 

Importing dogs is not cheap. Neither is it easy. This also adds to the cost.

 

As to the worth of the dogs, only the individual paying the money can decide that. I am not forcing anyone to do anything. However, there has been a considerable amount of interest in jagdterriers on this board in the past. Given this, and my connections to the continent, I thought that I would share this opportunity with fellow members. I also have experience of importing dogs from the continent, and am prepared to offer my assistance to anyone wishing to do so.

My contact also has proven adult dogs of the same bloodline available for sale. These dogs have completed a season of work below ground, as well as all the breed tests. However, these are considerably more. If you are interested, PM me.

The Vom Asstraata line are generally recognised as high quality hunting dogs in EU. This pup is out of a Vom Asstraata bitch. (pic didn't work ....sorry)

I hear good things about these dogs and I hope they do become more readily available over here and good luck to anyone that gets one but I wouldn't pay that sort of money for a foreign dog when I could find a dog a 3rd of the price doing the same job over here already

Its not expensive if you are looking to get into this breed. Possibly a very good opportunity/shortcut for someone to take advantage of someone elses contact.

[STRANGER 948]

Trust me £800 is a lot for a dog who decides earth work ain't for him when his time comes

And then litters are bred to recoup expenses lost, shit being bred and the cycle continues.

Not for me thanks.
