Great story and I wish I was there. Thank you for taking care of my dogs and keeping them hunting while I do the oil spill thing. Sure hope BP plugs that pipe soon, so I can come visit!!! I sent you my hounds and a couple jags, but sent Squirt's sister Tang to Florida with a friend and Squirt's brother Einstein to Dr. Larkin DVM in Mississippi to hunt. Mr. James Mills of Kentucky, owner of the Cumberland Pack Jagdterrier Kennels where I bought Bart, Squirt's father, was visiting Larkin in Mississippi. Here are his comments he posted on the Jagdterrier Hunter's Forum :
"My son, Ben and I had the great privilege to hunt in Mississippi with Pat and Howard. We saw some great jagdterrier work. Goatcher's Einstein dog took a track and stayed with a hog for 7.44 miles according to the GPS. It was too hot to catch many hogs, but we did catch one at night and caught one in a trap."
As you know, I have had as many as 12 jagdterriers, but those three pups out of Bart, all from the same litter are blowing my mind. I regret their mother, a Scott Als, Dixieland Jags x Wasabi cross got killed by a bad boar. You had her mother and brother for a while. So the mold was broken.
About your boar in the story - I was really surprised to see he was a big monster feral boar, I thought with all those nearly pure European wild boar you have up there, he would be (or is) a rare find. I guess he was looking to hook-up with some sows with those funny European accents.<'
Best regards my friend - and stay safe

P.S. I guess I will have some problems getting my Squirt dog back after this. Maybe I should trade you two pups out of Lily to get him home?
