keepdiggin 9,559 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Anyone been tempted to import a working fox terrier? 1 Quote Link to post
shovel 160 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Deutsche Drahthaar is a German wire haired pointer bred to work, not for shows. There is strict testing done before the dog/bitch is allowed to breed. Everything from point a bird, fetching over land or water, dispatch a predator to following old blood trails. Temperament is important as well. They are incredibly friendly with people, but mine is very dominant over other dogs. I'll shut up, before I completely hijack this thread.[/quote Sounds like a very usefull all round dog. Any of them small enough to work underground. lol Quote Link to post
Aitor 140 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Last Saturday, 2 digs, one of them of 8 hours (11:00-19:00), a very very complicated dig. Result, two foxes for Juan, Raul and Sergio 6 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Well done Aitor. Was the ground as hard as it looks and do Spanish foxes normally be under ground ? Even in good weather ? Quote Link to post
Aitor 140 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 HelloIt depends on the area, there are areas where only go underground for breeding, and other areas without coverage outside where they are inside all year. And not , not at all burrows are so hard Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I suppose in desert like areas that the fox would go underground to escape the hot sun ? If so, that's handy. Quote Link to post
rob284 1,682 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yeah is it due to the heat? Quote Link to post
Thunderbelly 7 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Shovel>> no, they are medium sized dogs, mine is just under 80lbs. I think the females are 60-70lbs. If you want a very similar dog to go underground, get the jagdterrier. I have heard the jags will retrieve smaller game as well. I would love to run a jagd terrier with my DD, no prey would be safe!
