Thanks for the pics, I always like that breed of dog.

Thanks for posting that.
I'm a big fan of the versatile German breeds.
Spent allot of time trying to explain the strict disciplin and natural all around hunting ability that the the real European "Versatile Hunting Dog" trials require, but it usually falls on deaf ears..

Even have an old trapper friend who's Dratar (his trap line dog) taught my little Cur dog a thing or two about caged Coons. That dam bird dog runs Coon better than most Coon hounds although her voice leaves allot to be desired. LOL


Between my Curs and GSP's there ain't much we can't hunt. A good combo to keep an old man in the field.


Thanks again.

I really enjoy the ability of a Drathaar I have a Jagd and I agree the versatile European hunting breeds are something we typically don't use to its full extent in the US. The coon hounds ran coon, the beagles rabbits, etc but the thought of a dog I could chase multiple species has been something I have been playing with. My little Jagd will hunt coon, I had her on hogs (a bit rough thought for sure she would be dead before the hunt ended) layed out a bear drag that she trailed with no problem. I don't have enough birds but this year going to see if she will retrieve doves. If you like them there is a great site called drathaarsandjagds guy in NC has outstanding dogs of both breeds.

I agree if your looking for jagds or a DD to hunt fur stateside than Chris in NC is the guy to call a great guy and he hunts alot of hogs with his DD's and Jagd's.
