Waz 4,261 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 From what ives seen, with jagds you get more chance of a bayer above ground. Lot of patterdales ive seen are not as physically well formed for above ground. Never seen a mix of the 2.....yet. 2 Quote Link to post
Minkenry 1,044 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Not harm the mink? yes, the dog will be hunting with a trained mink. The mink will go down rat and squirrel holes, and what the mink doesn't catch, we want to use the dog to catch. A rat colony can easily have a couple dozen rats, so with both the mink and the dog working together, we can catch a lot more of the colony on the first hunt. Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 I think you'd be best forgetting about the dog idea......but, if you ever did get a dog, make sure the mink won't bite it... 3 Quote Link to post

wirral countryman 2,110 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Any old terrier will kill rats and squirrels so long as its bred off workers, I think your terrier will get mixed messages though using a mink instead of a ferret, good luck with that, LOL's, I think your mental myself and have since I read your posts on using mink, too many "dicks" like you trying to re invent different ways of hunting when a smoker or a decent ferret would do, mine would kill the f*ck out of that mink along with most other lads dogs, you limit the people that can hunt with you right away, traditional hunting methods have been with us for hundreds of years why change it ??

General lee 979 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 As long as the terrier is brought knowing the mink isn't prey it will be alright nothing wrong with using a mink they look handy little animals it's his choice at the end of the day personally I would choose the patterdale don't know much about jagds but a patterdale will do the job you want good luck with it mate Quote Link to post
Richard Warwick 50 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 it's been a terriers work to kill mink for as long as they have plagued our waterways, and mink carry a nasty bite, if a ferret bites a young dog it will feel it but the damage won't be great. if a mink bites a young dog that will hurt it a lot, all the patterdales i have seen have been hard to break to a ferret, never mind breaking to a mink! any patterdale worth it's salt will dispatch a mink on sight 3 Quote Link to post
jawn 449 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I've seen some pretty impressive videos a guy in the Midwest made of a trained mink hunting river banks. A friend of mine from Florida went and bought one from him... but sadly I haven't heard how it worked out. Here I'd be just as worried about what lives in the water killing the mink as I would a dog...but I figure the guy who trained the mink to do what I saw was more than capable of breaking a dog off of him. Good luck in your search. 1 Quote Link to post
Tracy Priestnall 83 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 according to two German writers, who had articles in the e d r d magazine, the jagd terriers are fox terriers bred from English stock sent to Germany. i have seen footage of jagd with wiry coats and a fox terrier appearance but others look more like patterdales in the head shape. i have never seen a jagd, only footage, but to me they hunt the same as any other terrier, all terriers have the same hunting method/style. border terriers are said to be calmer than excitable Russell's, fells enter faster than borders, lakelands are violent fighters whilst the sporting Lucas as a gentle nature...but these are differences in personalities and character, once they hunt all terriers have the same style a good all round terrier can be found in fells, borders, Russell's, jagds, bedlingtons, plummers and cross-breds.. dont get hung up on breeds. watch a ratting film with all -sorted terriers, russells,, fells, borders, patterdales etc, they all hunt the same .the dog is more important than the breed just seen jagd pups for sale in England...,£700 for a pup, in the countrymens weakly kev-medlock crew . . 1 Quote Link to post
steamingutpiles 117 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Tell your friend to get himself a Jagdterrier from the boys at Deguello NLT in the USA. He won't need anything else. Quote Link to post
