I want to know all there is to know about this breed.
I want a small dog with lots of guts that won't let itself get killed by a sled dog. I also want a dog that will play hell on cats, squirrels, etc. that wander in the yard.
But I don't want a runaway pain in the butt!
Comments?

They can be all of the above. Both Rich Kasper and Coyote Whisperer have them, as I'm sure a few other people on here do. Kasper's is one tough little SOB, make no mistake about it. I played fetch with him late one nigte at the FTA with a 30" 2x4 that he brought me . I could hold it up and he'd grab it and hang on while I was carrying him around. Finally had to burn the board to get him to stop, Rich had to tell him NO to keep him from going in the fire after it! I did notice he had become much more obedient after the use of the shock collar. Nice little dog....B....

Get a patterdale terrier.They will eat less and the real ground dogs are hell on 4 legs.And they are silent in the yard just straight in munching.

I don't want a dog that will go down every hole it sees. There's no way I can dig it up! Canadian Shield country!
Food isn't a problem. 60 pounds of meat costs me $12. It costs me about 6 bucks a day to feed 19 dogs right now.
Cheaper than smoking or eating out at the restaurant.

I had a beagle I would do that with. But we didn't use a board. We used a wool sock or a towel. We could swing her around in a circle and she still wouldn't let go. She'd just close her eyes.

Well a jagd will go in a hole just as fast as a patterdale but they are noisy unless you train them to be. MOST terriers will go to ground and take off because that is what they are bred to do. They are bred to hunt game and fight it. I think either one would whip a grizzly bear if they could get at it, or at least in their minds they could.LOL

I have a 10 month old jadg. He climbs everthing all the time and goes in holes when I tell him to. I am impressed with the fight in him so far. Will mix it up with anything of any size and shows little fear. More of a bite/retreat to different angle/bite fighter than a head on attack. Really a pretty typical terrier in attitude. Very high strung and hard headed. He is beginning to listen very well and be very obedient for me. Nose is incredible, way better than either of my labs. All in all, a lot of fun. Gonna get another dog soon, probably another jadg.

Silly question: I suppose they'd be hell on robins and other birds in the yard?
And if you don't watch them they're gone ....?

Outdoorsaddict- What lines are your Jagds out of?
Nice looking dogs. I have a cur that will climb after what ever he has treed. Not sure I like it as the cats around here will bail and start the race over again if he presses them too hard at the tree.

Letting a dog get in the habit of climbing is not a good thing. If he gets up in a leaning tree and makes it 40ft. up and falls out, goodbye pup.

Thought of that Buckfreak for exactly that reason. Had to catch him once when he got too high up. Be a tough habit to break know but I had better get with it.
Musher, mine stays close to the house when he jumps the 4 ft. chain link. Never have had to go look for him. I keep him close in the field and never let him hunt on his own. Fights with everything other than other dogs and people. Can't trust him with anything else but I have never discouraged it either. I have trained him to listen with blind obedience and I can pretty well call him off the chase. Once the fight is started I have to pull him off to break it up.
Timber, will have to check on the blood lines. Nothing great I don't think. I got him out of Tunas Missouri. A puppy mill type place that I wouldn't recommend simply because they don't hunt their dogs. I am happy with the dog but is my first jadg so I don't really know what to expect or the breed potential. He is coming along nicely. I think I got lucky on this dog. My next will come from hunting background just for probabilities sake.

I mean you got your dogs from a Non-hunter...

A couple of years back I contacted a breeder in B.C.. She told me to be careful because many breeders were breeding dogs that were "too hot." By this she meant that they were attack-a-holics that didn't make good hunting partners.
Any truth to that?
