EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Ok guys been here awhile got out of hunting for awhile recently got back in. I’m thinking about adding a jagd to my pack but I’m worried about them getting burned on runners the hogs I hunt will run for miles and are athletic anyone got any experience with jagds on running hogs and in thick brushy areas

All the jagds I’ve ever hunted behind could keep up with the big dogs all day long.

I knew they had they engergy just didn’t know about the stride. Thanks Mike

my friends who use them dont seem to have any trouble with them hanging with the curs as far as endurance bottom etc, but, they do say they aren't able to stop a runner as good as the curs to make it bay. Ive got a half jagd half july hound from Boogie right now doing as good as any 10 mo old can do ... First thing other than a line bred yellow dog ive fed in over a decade and im loving it

that was kind of another question also was could they stop a runner being so small

That seems to be the problem they have, on a good note out of 2 litters every pup from the 1/2 jagd, 1/2 july hound has been silent on track, good bay etc - I like the crosses personally. cool little dogs though imo

I may have to check into that combination and see what its about

I've had mine stop a 100lbs hog with a bay dog by time we got to him he was locked down on the ass end an bay dog was just barking. I think was out about two miles or close to it, not sure if he got drugged the whole time. I think that I hunted him one more time after cause was getting hurt bad each time nearly dying everytime we went out but boy could he hunt. Also was very stubborn and would give a hard time when it came to going home he spent many nights there I would leave my shirt and have catch him the next day

I have a a few patterdales the reason I have not thought of even used them is they are too hard and would just get tossed around. I have had some bigger ones out of past litter but was wondering is a high 20’s would do much to slow a hog down. I know the 15s and high teens would not do any good for them or the hunt.
If a guy had a bay dog seems they would slow a chase down and play matador. I have culled wrong the whole time I guess.

Yea that bay dog was a pup and maybe his second time out. We had other dogs out there just in the other direction but not on anything

The couple I have hunted with were bay busters plain and simple. They would get in and put to much pressure on a hog and make hime break every time.

Getting a pat pup next Friday was watching his older brothers in a pen and man talking about some crackheads never stopped for one second while I talked to the man. Just back and forth back and forth up and down up and down. My question can I run them with loose dogs and train them that way or will it strictly be a rough pack dog? Would also like to use them to help stop runners but I would hate for them to be trying to catch and I got a 1200 yard run ahead of me. Probably an unanswerable question lol.

Patterdales very so greatly by the line of dogs you are feeding. If you have the line look to see what they have been worked on and bred to hunt.

If they are from the USA look at who has fed them the last 3 generations and if they hunted consistently. The issue is a majority of the ppatterdale peddlers in the USA don’t really hunt. Even if they claim to hunt they are out 1 or 2 times a year at most. True terrier hunting is a ton of work.

True terrier hunting is when the terrier
Locates the game
Engages the game
Stays on the game until you arrive 

Most patterdale collectors are missing 1 to 3 of the required.

Just what I seen ..

So in short you have to know the history of the dogs and breeders behind you patterdales
