Probably over 90% of Jack Russells in Australia carry some percentage of Dachshund or Corgi blood in their makeup and they seem to go alright.

Dont get a show bred daschund....you might as well get a dalmation

 

Get a Teckel (thats the original continental name- it was badly translated to daschund by victorian dog breeders) working bred, they are used for tracking wounded game (deers etc..) used in small packs on rabbits and also used underground like terriers, i know in parts of france they are used to drive wild boar out

 

i have a teckel x border terrier, (all she got from the border was slightly longer legs) she works cover, is used when i go shooting and ferreting and has gone to ground (not that i wanted her to when she did )

 

They make a lot of noise (they are hounds) and make a lot of noise on a scent whether that is above or below ground

 

pics of my little hound are on my website below in my signature

would anyone actualy suggest i get some i mainly hunt fox , hare , rabbit , cats, possums night and day and i hunt with a hound crew for deer i own a gsp and a staghound plus two ferrets if i got a teckel would it stay resonably close to me when i hunt like 20-40 meters away from me or would it take off on a scent and never come back (i spend alot of time trianing a dog what i want to say is it just a small beagle) would it go down a fox hole and bolt it with its voice or would it punch on and id have to get a shovle will it go through the black berriers and thick shite looking for game would it retrieve would it swim would it sit on a chian or in a pen at home and not bark stupidly (live in suburb) would it hunt in a pack happily or are they an aggresive dog

 

this is all sort of goin through my mind and i understand ud teach most dogs anything with the right trianing and time spent and that they cant do everything but id like to no what there best at and what there not good at im seriously considering getting one of these dogs and would apperciate any usefull infomation

 

cheers

I think this may be where people go wrong I hunt mine as a pack of hounds when they find they own the line and it's my job to keep with them not there place to keep with me. Theay aren't fast dogs but you will have to be fit to stay with them but the upside to this is they will find quarry they very rarley fail.

would it go down a fox hole and bolt it with its voice or would it punch on and id have to get a shovle will it go through the black berriers and thick shite looking for game would it retrieve would it swim would it sit on a chian or in a pen at home and not bark stupidly (live in suburb) would it hunt in a pack happily or are they an aggresive dog

Yes it is likely it will go to ground and it may bay or it may be hard that'll be down to the individual dog. They are used a lot in Europe for duck shooting so yes they can swim and retrieve. As for dogs on chains that's not for Teckels I've got one that barks in kennels but the others don't. No they are not aggressive they are extremely affectionatte and crave human attention. They hunt and live as a pack.

The choice is yours at the end of the day they are certainly capable of everything you want and also everything you don't want so it would be unfair on the dog to forget that. My life with Teckels is simple as I don't ask a lot from them as long as they get out and hunt I'm happy.................
