First Of It's Kind...

[Dan McDonough 560]

I belive one of my first posts on this board was to ask if anyone had ever seen a whippet crossed with a jagdterrier. Well, since then I have looked high and low for even one example and found nothing.

 

Last fall the first litter of it's kind was born and I bought one. It's on it's way to my place right now and I think it will make a handy dog. I thought since (to my knowledge) it's the first of it's kind, I would share some pictures of it as it grew and give a little information along the way.

 

Here's the pup (front and center):

Nice looking litter. What work do you have in mind for the dog?

[Poacherspocket 189]

Good choice. What was your reason for picking that pup? Before i read which you picked i had singled that pup out because of the long muzzle looks probably the most whippet like.

Cab buddy, house dog, etc... He'll go everywhere with me and be run at everything. No bear but coyotes on down. I walk hunt, hunt from the boat, truck, bike and any other way that sounds fun at the moment. I'll give him a shot at running with the hounds on bobcat and coon when he's got enough experience. He'll have to let me know what he's capable of in the end but he's going to get the chance to do many things. It sure would be a bonus if he treed but I'm not holding my breath.

Sounds like what we'd call a general mooching partner over here course you'll be bumping into bigger stuff than we do

 

I'm definitely very interested to see how he shapes up, look forward to seeing your updates

All the best.

For the record, I'd be willing to help a feller out. If someone wants to try out America for a while and is trustworthy I have a big bonus room above my garage (about 12' x 34') that would be the cat's ass for a single guy and I have plenty of room for dogs. You can live a comfortable life up there and I'd help out navigating all of the unfamiliar things involved with getting started in a new country. Even if it was just for a couple of years...what an adventure and education in dogs! I would have to look into the visa process but I'm sure there's an easy way to do it. It's a big move and you would really have to be committed to it but how often does an opportunity like this come up? By the way, the Queen of England owns the US in case any of you didn't know that. I've made this offer before but no one has taken me up on it yet.

 

Haymin- Are you over here in the states?

[roybo 2,873]

Wow! What an offer, There isn't many offers like that...

Do you reckon you'd get 4 kids 3 dogs and 2 adults in there lol

What an offer for someone. If I was a single lad with nothing to stay in this country for I would be looking into flights to the US.
