Title: Time for a repeat? Post by: shawn on October 15, 2009, 03:19:49 pm I took my 6 month old jagd terrier to a baypen about 3-4 weeks ago, he really didn't show much interest. I was thinking about taking him again, but I've also been told by some people to go ahead and hunt him and see what happens. Just curious what others think, should I try him in a pen again? Go ahead and try him in the woods? Or just wait till he's a little older? He's about full grown, or pretty close I guess, he weighs 19 lbs. I definatetly dont want to cull him yet because of his age and jagds low cull rate.

Title: Re: Time for a repeat? Post by: Cristina on October 16, 2009, 01:20:31 am Shawn give him some more time. Also, we've had plenty dogs that would NOT bay a hog in a pen. They just didn't like it. But everyone of them has found hogs and bayed them In the woods. My bmc gyp Paloma did not and will not bay a hog in a pen, she acted afraid of hogs in the pen, but we still took her to the woods and she proved us wrong. Give him some time and take him hunting. I say don't always rely on a bay pen to tell you whether or not a dog is good for hogs or not, I've seen dogs that can bay a hog beautifully in a pen but would not hunt even if their life depended on it. Just my opinion. Title: Re: Time for a repeat?
