Jagd terrier

[huntsman]

Has anyone first hand experience of this breed? Main requirement as a deer dog . I understand that the have a strong prey drive and if it small like them it may be in big trouble. Are they really “ a Jack russell on speed”?
Any chance they they make good family pets too?



Thanks

I know a few on here have them a bloke I know has one and as I my self have had nanny terriers over the years mainly patterdales which have a high prey drive and are little ***** with anything they take a dislike to the jagd my friend has is worse by a good margin all the best training one for deer good luck

 

[mereside]

yes they come with free satellite navigation to find them once you let them go, hard as nails and they know it lol.

Imagine a wild wolverine and your about there, seen a few that are trained great but when out and about they always wear gps collars, presumably for good reason lol

Edit- I know of people around Europe who use them as deer and boar dogs so you should be fine

It's like owning a pitbull, american bulldog,or malinois, with great power,, comes great responsibility. in the right hands they are an asset, unfortunately in the wrong hands they are a living nightmare.

Thanks for all the info , I don’t think I could be bothered with that level anxiety frustration and fear. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Back to looking at the German wires and the. Black labs for me.

A German friend brought his over, it jumped out of the Land Rover and promptly put 2 heavy duty leads on it and tied them both to the tow bar!

I laughed and asked why the 2 leads?

His reply was, if she gets through the first the second was a fail safe and if she gets through the second we’re buggered for at least 1-2 days and every deer in this area will be terrorised.

if your looking for something along those lines a brandlbracke is used on deer and boar, great home dog along with tracking and everything else,regards wayne

 

[huntsman]

The Brandlbracke is a very nice looking dog never seen one before.I assume they are hard to come and probably very expense, but will do a bit more research .

That's a handsome and interesting breed of hound. Are any being bred in the UK or is it a case of importing from Austria or elsewhere? Any restrictions on ownership by breed societies etc. that you are aware of?

hi there

I have a friend in Lithuania that works them on boar along side lika dogs , they are very good & game , I've seen them work many times & in my opinion in this country they are wasted due to our laws . also his dogs are not pets & all were GPS collars . one did run off last trip tracking a boar on its own & came back several hours later when it heard gun fire . other all there a brilliant breed for hunting

A very good friend of mine has a half jadg terrier half patterdale shes coming on really well on the deer typical terrier tho into everything but shes got one hell of a nose she will stand on back legs when winding deer he's hoping to breed with her back to a full jadg terrier and if all goes well my name is down for pup touch wood

 

[monarman]

It's my jag'd x patterdale........she is indeed coming on quite well, just over a year old..... found her first deer at 6 months.

Shes very friendly and fussy, loves other dogs..... never been too bothered about going to ground ( I've never encouraged it)... she will mark holes if theres something in...

As said she has a great nose and will almost point deer!..... yes shes a sod for doing the "I'm not listening" thing.... but that's patterdale!....

I will likely cross her to a pure jag'd next year to retain the deer work instinct.

not bred in the uk I don't think, breed society rules apply but non the less simple and worthwhile looking after the breed, another great dog which is on the smaller side is a Kopov and again a fantastic worker for deer boar and also a great family dog, superb on roe deer,regards wayne

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.

Only seen one in action an import. Got out then got in somewhere, complete lunatic, no fear immune to pain
End of.
If you want a small dog for deer Borders (working bred) are easy to train, very biddable , strong enough to hold a Roe at bay and first class nose. Had them for 30+ years, will also multi task.

just a personal opinion,, but I think dobermans are overrated. very obedient and easy to control but often lack "gameness" especially when compared to a

I agree. I have not seen a decent working doberman in 30 years.

I had to put a bullet in my last mali's head...once I'd got home from hospital, that is...

without knowing the full story,, its hard for me to comment, but my guess would hopefully be it was a hard decision, but necessary?
I can say with total conviction, I would die defending my dogs, and vice versa.

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...
