anyone have a jagd or patterdale

All those are true. You just have to taje into account jagds are immensely hard headed. They hunt because they like it and could care less about pleasing you. All jagds, by breed standard, should be open on scent or sight. Silent jagds should be a cull by the standard. That may or may not matter to you. They are super driven and wont be happy sitting on a chain all the time. They can make your life miserable if theyre bored. Digging chewing making all sorts of god awful racket. If yiu get a pup, get it from proven lines from someone that hunts like you do. Someone in the North breeding for varmint dogs might not be selecting for traits conducive to big game hunting. And please do the breed a favor by nit producing a litter off young unproven dogs. I love the little devils. They have a low cull rate and thats only because people actively seek to improve the breed and not peddle pups off of unproven young dogs.
