I have finally decided to bite the bullet and commit to a deer specific dog. After much deliberation and research I have settled on a Teckel and found an excellent working line in which I will hopefully getting a puppy off later in the year once the bitch comes into season.
I've always had, and still have Labradors and spaniels, and due to my previous job as a keeper I feel my dogs are pretty well trained. Labs and spaniels are a doddle to train the basics but considering this will be my first Teckel, what sort of obedience can I come to expect? Is it possible to get Teckels to walk to heel while out with me stalking. I understand each dog has it's own personality and some do things other can't but I'm just talking about a general ability of the breed as a whole.
If any SD member have experience with this breed I'm particular, I'd be glad of some advice!
regards, Woollyback
