Night Walker 591 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 How would your rate there nose over other types as that's the main attribute of a hunting dog, would you say it's a fair bit better than other breeds? 2 Quote Link to post

Night Walker 591 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Stay away from teckels mate they are a rip off iv seen my fair shear and they are very mediocrein what ways would you say? The price tag on them is a big put off straight away I agree with that. What did you use them for or what type of work have you seen them doing? Quote Link to post

mushroom 12,871 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) A good teckel is the perfect everyday hunting dog. I have one which I only use for bloodtraking but this is the third one I have. Two previous ones I used them together as all purpose dogs. Great for boar and for rabbits. Excellent for finding wounded quarry. Mine now almost exclusively used for roe deer bloodtraking. I now usually hunt with a kerry but I often still think I should have worked with this third one the same way I worked with the other ones. If you can find a nice bloodline and you have the chance, go for it. Cheers. quanto es por uno normalmente ?? Edited January 25, 2015 by mushroom Quote Link to post

I wouldn't dare to say such thing from any dog, but generally, the ones I've seen were very good ones with excellent noses. I've had three (still have one) and the three have been great dogs.

I'm looking for a bitch to cross my dog with. He is 9 and I want to keep a good puppy. If you want, as I search for her I can ask for prices info. Quote Link to post

gamerooster 1,179 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Don't know about that morton, the price of cockers is extortionate to Quote Link to post
morton 5,368 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Don't know about that morton, the price of cockers is extortionate to Its not a case of being extortionate,somebody who puts in the time,effort and commitment into sourcing,then bringing into the country,honest bred Teckels,deserves a little renumeration for their endeavour.From experience,ive seen a couple of decent bred Teckels in the field,they are not as useful as other bushers about,that are easier to source and easier on the wallet,they lack pace and athleticism,fact,yet have excellent nose and commitment,plus their progeny swells the wallet,nothing wrong with that if you,ve put in the effort.Sadly many are jumping on the Teckel gravy train without the same honesty and effort. 3 Quote Link to post
