How do they test Jagds with jackrabbits for tracking and voice actually??  Do they take them to a fenced rabbit pen and turn the dog loose or do they take a lead jackrabbit and lay down a track with it and then wait 15 minutes and see if the dog opens when it comes across the 15 minute track???  I wish i had a Jagd magazine to order and a rule book from germandy in english, i love to see the actual rules and how they actually test them.  Most terriers today can not do hole work including mine due to lots of holes are too small for the larger dogs to fit in.  I have been to 3 feild trails for terriers way back in the day, the way the terriers at that event were tested was the owner of the farm had buried with a backhoe several large joints of 6 or 8 inch pvc (cant remember exactly what size may be off) under ground with risers to the ground to pour down rats, red fox or raccon into, the dumped in varmit had a dog proof escape box it could run into with a dogleg where the dog could not continue to keep the dog from killing or injuring the varmit.  But it was close enuff that it could smell live animal and hear it too. We all got 1 inch pvc pipes and put them against the gorund to hear the dog barking, some dens were deeper than others that were only 1 foot deep and barely covered up.  I still remember they guy having to dig up  some dogs who would not get out of the pipe or got stuck or scared and would not come out, some smart peeps let there terriers go into the pvc with a cord around their waist so they could be pulled out backwards.  My got stuck and had to be dug out, he was to big and could not backup, down here we either dug them up out of sand or left them in it and looked the next day to see if they came back to the kennel at the ranch hopefullylol  I have had to push down a tree with a d8 to get under it or chainsaw a tree to get idiot terrier out of it after three days barking a coon once, one time the idito was barking at a huge tree lizard he could not reach and kill for ever, could not beleive all the work for a dime store lizardlol
