Wirey 23 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 What's a den terrier? Quote Link to post
Mudcat 95 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Small usually under 10lbs. Used mainly on woodchuck, possum and coon. Most are bayers but some can be too hard for their size. I will put up a pic later this week of one. Mudcat 2 Quote Link to post
Wirey 23 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Cheers, would like to see one, are they a type or breed? Quote Link to post
Mudcat 95 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 The ones I use are mixed with Jacks, Pats, Jags. Some are over 10lbs and the guys on the east coast use them on grey and red fox in the mountain area. Mudcat Quote Link to post

BOLSTER 808 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Dogs that hunt Foxes Dens i suppose ? Quote Link to post
Mudcat 95 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Mine are bred down from this line http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/215828-new-den-terrier-pups/ I hope to have some pics up by the weekend. I am going out Saturday, so I may have some action shots. The line is bred small but the guru said that a small Jack mixed in would clean the line a bit. I guess they got their name for being worked in the rock dens in mountains along the east coast. I know mine has a small 12lb Jag in the background. Mudcat Quote Link to post
Wirey 23 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Nice looking pups, take it there's very little digging in the rock dens? You must have them well trained, to come back when called? Quote Link to post
Mudcat 95 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I am located in the south, so I have never worked the mountain area. I believe they are used to bolt to gun in the mountain area. Mudcat Quote Link to post
Wirey 23 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 FairPlay mudcat sounds like they're good workers, what sort of vermin do you hunt with them? What u think of the jag? Quote Link to post
