COMPO 54 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 The sandy coloured dog of Manipulus looks like one i saw this year in the french alps, they are used a lot there, i chatted with the owner in my broken french, How did you break your french? bit careless of you!! It was broken as it came out of my mouth must have chipped it with my teeth or something I can speak and understand enough french to chat about hunting and thats what i did at every opportunity! The old boy was happy to chat back to the jibbering English man! it was the international language of hunting! Quote Link to post

Guest whitser Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 i've seen video from sweden with teckles working fox and badger below ground and getting dug to. defo seem to be an excellent little dog. Quote Link to post
Guest ragumup Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 They maybe good little dog for bushing /tracking etc but for real earth work i dout it they always seem to be doubled up no offence Quote Link to post
Guest whitser Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 if i was after a digging dog i'd go for a terrier alright but as an all rounder i think they'd handy. something with voice that will hunt a trail like a hound and will follow a fox to ground and work thick cover something tempting about that. i'd defo consider one in the future.

Guest whitser Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 cant see justification in charging or paying that much for a dog. thats besides the point. your dogs look like good sport fair play to you. get some more pics up. Quote Link to post
