I was his last chance. He had hurt quite a few people already. He had ideopathic agression and I thought I could help. I couldn't. It was like keeping a pet leopard. In the end, the risks were too high and it would have been irresponsible to move him on to someone else.

Did a lot of damage to my arm, by the way... :rofl:

I bet he did,, [sorry about my apparent lack of concern but I though you were a tough guy, ;)]
there was a few cases of "rage syndrome" a while back with spaniels of all things, most put it down to bad breeding?
I have a alapaha blue blood and the best thing about him is the on/off switch. if he didn't have one he would be real unpleasant to be around. I trust him with my life, I would not trust anyone else with him.
 
You are about right on the Dobermans, last pair I got was in the 80's when keepering in a real dodgy area, they were good, obedient and aggressive. Can't remember who was the worse me or the dogs, mates often told me it was a draw. Ah what a mis spent early middle age that was. :rofl:

My Kopov is 11 years old now as you say great workers on boar but way to fast on roe deer. They make great tracking dogs. Male Kopovs can be quite a hand full. I read somewhere that male Kopovs have the temperament of Doberman and from my experience that is true.

Yep, fast they are. My spaniel pushed up a hare. The kopov caught and kill the hare in under a 100 mtrs. My gob was smacked to say the least.
 
These threads/questions are always tricky. Generally people read about a breed and recommend based on what they have read or what one person has advised. First hand experience is vital but......First hand experience of one dog within a breed is still very limiting.

Ideally you want to get advice from someone who has owned a number of dogs from one breed and ideally, individuals from various lines. Specific lines that have been bred for many years can show very distinct traits.

Through our 'relatively limited' ten year experience with dachshunds we have had adult litter sisters who are very different and also two with same mother different sires that were different. Our four imports, from three different countries also show variation in character. Of course, the environment, nurture, will play a big part.

As a slight aside, we had a visit from a potential stud dog last week that, from a character perspective, was completely different from our young male Hendrix. Hendrix is very confident and bold and almost too friendly. To stop him greeting people/strangers by jumping up/around, rolling on his back and basically acting the clown (on speed) would break his spirit. The visiting potential stud was very calm but wary and cautious. He showed no signs of nerves and was happy to sniff about the lawn despite other dogs in other areas (three just behind a gate) barking. He seemed to go about his business of scent marking and sniffing every inch of the area oblivious to anything else. They are of similar age, the same breed, yet completely different.

Keith in describing Hendrix you have my boy down to a tea. Loving life and everything in it.

Huntsman I know nothing of the breed your thinking of but I would certainly want to see a few out and about / working before committing. We have had our first teckel for 10 months. I’m glad he’s not our first dog as it would have been a bit of a steep learning curve but he is just brilliant. I didn’t think anything could have more character than our late spaniel but the teckel has character by the bucket load. Keith gave me and still gives me plenty of advice and so finding people with work g experience I think is essential.
If I had seen teckels working and got to know some before we got ours would I have still got one??
Yes definitely but it would have been a harder road without the experience of others

Can't wait to see Ziggy in the flesh Peter. He's a great looking hound.
 
Thanks all for all your input , I have decided to hold off jagd terriers, as keith and pj1 say you basically need more info. I just heard of the litter and decided to enquire. I have always liked giving something different a try, once they weren’t a pure headache.
I have too many constraints in my life, to have a the worry of a lunatic on a lead.

I don’t need any dog to kill anything for me, after all thats supposed to be my bit .
My needs are simple, give a hand with locating a runner, if traveling with me to work don’t eat the farmers prize yard cat, don’t terrify my son or his pals and be a buddy out on the hill when stalking .
This probably brings me full circle to the old lady at my feet now, her diabetes battle has robbed her of most of her vision so I doubt she will be able to go out much this season. She is a great pal and we have had many adventures , apart from all the hair everywhere! :eek:

I have owned many different breeds over many years, some have been working successes , all have their unique characters with the odd disaster thrown in . We never moved on those that don’t work out , all have lived out their days at home as part of the family ( some too long) !
I will keep you posted and thanks again.
 
I have a Jagd x Patterdale that I use for everything from stalking, blood work, wild fowling, beating, pidgeons, etc... Don't be put off by the breed. They were initially brought into the country by people using them below ground, and many of these 'types' are unable to train them correctly so the breed got a bad reputation. I have plenty of videos of my dogs working. And those who know me and my dogs would say they're worth their weight in gold ~10kg
