Few random pics of what my dogs do. I have a pair of German Wirehairs, a German Shepherd, a Mtn. Cur x Blue Lacy, and two new Jagdterrier pups.  Shorty and myself after a good day of decoying and calling.  Maggie bringing back a called and decoyed coyote. She always trys to retrieve them.  Shorty and a trapped coyote.  Shorty and Maggie fighting a coon.  Shorty barking bayed at a coon in an old farmstead. |

 Shorty and some big MN coon he pulled out of a old barn.  Bud and a Grey fox. All my dogs are obedient. If I gave him the go ahead this fox would have been toast.  Shorty and a nice coon.  Shorty and a nice MN Grey. Shorty's looking at another a few feet out of the pic.  Bud with some waterfowl at the duck shack.  Dagga and Bud treeing a coon. How many have seen a German Shepherd tree? She runs to catch but will take to the wood if it goes up a tree.  Think somethings in this hole? A lot of the coon run along the creeks and rivers here will take to old beaver dens instead of the tree.  Maggie working the bottom while Shorty stacks out the top hole. I have the Jagds with me but they were to young to hunt. They sure got fired up watching the other dogs work a hole.  Britta taking over on a treed coon. She tried to get up but it got too steep. She was just over 3 months old at the time.  Jagd pups at rest. Amazing they can go from this to total terrors in the blink of an eye. Hope you like them. Tim |

good pics Tim!
it was not uncommon in the "old days" to run mixed shepards, etc on coon- silent for the most part, but with a pack they stayed in the chase, and gave some fight at the tree.
My old Dobie was a heck of a tree dog on squirrels.

My old Dobie was a heck of a tree dog on squirrels. She comes out of a line that is bred to work livestock, livestock protection, and personal security. She's been through a whole lot of security and protection training. We got her to watch the place and the wife while I'm out of town on business. I never really trained her to run fur but she took to it like a duck to water by following the other dogs. I now use her as a catch dog for coon and other fur. I let her patrol the perimeter of the old farms and barns and catch any coon that makes a break for it or are driven out by the other dogs. She doesn't really bark but has more of a whistle when she sees them pop out on the roof or take to a tree. She's really gritty and will fight anything I put her on. She doesn't decoy to willingly but will really put a wounded coyote down fast. She loves hunting whether it be birds or fur so I take her with. Tim |

So many dogs breed and so little time!
A jagd is on my list. I had a bead on a littler in Ontario but they were 8 months old. Are they stay at home dogs or do they wander?

They only roam until they find what they want to kill and then they move on to the next target. So....if you keep your yard stocked with nice crunchy furry things you should be alright. Until you run out.
Truthfully, my female knows "Whoa" and will stop but she really doesn't want to. My male is pretty much happy where ever he is and tends to stay a little closer and listen a little better unless he see's the other take off, or something to chase or...
You get the picture. They sure do have hunting drive.

Timber,
Those German wirehairs are hell on fur aren't they? I've had a couple Shorthairs over the years that were absolutely obsessed with killing fur. Wasted a lot of pheasant hunts digging them out of ground dens along creek banks when they had coon on their mind. One recently deceased male had a couple of badger and even a coyote to his credit. "Animal sharpness" they call it over there and they mean it.
Great pics, looks like you have a "dog problem" even worse than mine.

My GWP's would rather kill fur than hunt birds but they love to hunt whatever, whenever. Many times I've come home from bird hunting with fur in the truck thanks to them. Most people don't realize that they were bred to hunt fur and kill varmints. I definitely have a dog problem. I just built a new kennel building to deal with it. Soon I'll I have room for a few more. A few of my dogs are getting on in years so I had to make room for the rookies. It's hard to keep enough dogs in ready to hunt shape if you hunt them all day everyday. They all earn their keep or head out down the road or over the hill. It's easy for a fur dog to cover it's own expenses. Tim |

In one of the above postings....Actually don't Gwp's need to kill a red fox fur to be certified in the european standards? The one's I 've hunted over have had no problem in blind retreaves of 9 pound jackrabbits @ 400 yards.

Tim do you happen to breed the gwps.
I've had one and when I get out of town and away from people I'm getting a couple more.
Mine never got cold. Tougher than my lab when it came to the weather.

I have bred them in the past but both my GWP's are getting too old. My male is 12 this week and my female is 10. I'm working on getting a couple new ones soon.
