Default New dog!

With all the talk of "hunting dogs" here, wanted to let ya'll know of our new addition to the family. We do a lot of hunting besides bird hunting, and that means deer and hog hunting. I got into the hog hunting scene a few years back and we do all we can to take out as many as we can by the house since they are like plows when they get in the fields. After awhile, they quit coming out to the feeders in the daylight, so we trapped them, then they stopped coming to the trap. I moved to dogs, but after some failed attempts, I never had a good one.

Two years ago, on a hunt w/ some customers to the company lease in west texas, I found the ultimate little dog. It was for the ranch manager and it was a Jagdterrier. I learned a little about these fiesty little dogs, but not enough to satisfy my curiosity. I then met a guy that does hog hunts for money to eliminate them from farms and found out he has them also. Got my name on one when he had a breeding and finally got my hands on a Jagdterrier from awesome German bloodline.

These little dogs were bred in Germany to hunt wild boar, badger, and bear. To say they are bad a$$ is an understatment! They make awesome blood trail dogs and will die protecting their family. If you have a minute, go to youtube and search for Jagdterrier which is also know as the German hunt terrier. He is just a little pup right now, but he is already a handful. Very smart and loves to express his "prey drive". I will post some pics of him soon! By the way, it is pronounced - "Yak-terrier" although it looks like "jag". Most all people in the US pronounce it "jag", but I just call him J.D. - short for Jack Daniels (black lable, brown whiskey).

That's cool. I have been thinking about a new dog myself. I'd like to do some hog hunting with dogs. I've only done it once but it was a lot of fun.

Right now he is tiny! About 3 lbs but they grow to 16" high, and weigh in at 20# when full grown. I'll try to post some links to their videos, most are in German.

I have hog hunted and know all about it and we usually hunted with Plotts and Pitbulls for our catch dogs. I know how big hogs can get and hiw bad they are and can be. I also know you never know the size of the hog your dogs have bayed up when you release your catch dog....with that being said, how many rides do you think that little dog is going to take when he is locked on to a hog. Haha. I have seen 75lbs pits take rides and get tossed like rag dolls, whats that 20lb dog going to do? I am not ragging on your dog by any means, just a question.

Matt, you obviously never hunted w/ Jagdterriers. The object is not to get hit by the hog, thus they are bread to be quick and nimble and spend more time driving the hog nuts, then they do licking their wounds! I ran catahoulas and feist for a long time, headed the fact they had to wear cut vest becasue they were to slow to catch a cold when a hog was charging them. The protective gear was bulky, hot and they could not hunt for long in the heat. These little dogs don't need all that and will out last you Plotts all day. As for catching, I leave that to my buddies Bull Terrier and Dogo!

No I have not even heard of them and that was the first time I have seen one, thats why I was asking you, it just didnt make sense to me thats all. Oh and I dont care for catahoulas, feist are GREAT on squirrels. Yes we always put our catch dogs in cut vest, we never put out bay dogs in vest and never got a bay dog cut. Its about distance and control on the hog. Now our pits have got layed open MANY times. HAHA

Isn't it amazing, the thrill of the hunt, the chaos, the dogs trying to eat up the hog, the hog trying to eat up the dogs. Then when it's over, you have a dog bleeding that only minutes before was in the fight trying to take down a hog as if nothing was wrong at all. I can't get over some of the wounds they get and they don't even notice it. Adrenaline I guess. I carry staple guns w/ me now and my vet is hog dog friendly so he helps me out.

Oh you dang right. I love it. Also what about the dogs at bay....uh uh like music to my ears. You are right the dogs act as if nothing is wrong with them. Yes it is hard to find a vet that is hog dog friendly, we did our doctoring ourselfs too. If someone out there hasn't been they need to, it is addicting. The dogs, the hogs, the catch. M M M
