American Hunt Terriers
|
I started wanting a hunt terrier when I first saw them at the Arabian Youth Nationals around 1997-98. Can't remember exactly when, but when I saw them I thought they were the CUTEST dogs! I went over to talk to the lady that owned them. She wasn't really friendly about them and what she wanted was out of my price range $3500, but dang, they were cute! I never forgot them. Then one of my good friends in the Arabian world got one. I really liked her but I had already been breeding russells for a couple more years and had developed a "taste" for a certain look. I liked the bone I was beginning to see on my dogs, the prettier ears and their set, prettier heads, more substance in the body, and definitely, much sweeter personality. She was a very sweet pup but I really wanted more bone and substance on my pups. He told me there were some breeders around the Scottsdale area, but when I typed in "black and tan jack russell", I really couldn't find anything I wanted. That is what I thought they were: black and tan jack russells. It was only until I had spoken with Avril that I realized there was no difference between them and the shorties I was breeding (other than color). I was told they were trying to reestablish the hunt terrier and it seemed kind of interesting.

On The Hunt
|
I found my male in Arizona and after looking for awhile, settled on a female from the Netherlands. They were a beautiful pair and I think made some awesome pups. It was(and still is) hard to find outcross pedigrees here in the states. The hunt terriers do to me seem to be "needier" breed, the need for human companionship is very strong preferring humans for the most part over their own kind. For that reason (and to try to get a solid red), I crossed my Kowgyrl with Body and I got some awesome babies and retained Leayla for my breeding program. I also got all solids to be able to help others add new breeding dogs to their programs. I have also crossed Tessa with Wylie and got some solid black pups. I sell the spotted pups on spay/neuter contracts and they have made excellent pets. I take my breeding program very seriously just as I have with my horses. I have been very successful in breeding horses and English jack russells and I feel I can do that with the hunt terriers. It has been an exciting new venture for me and have thoroughly enjoyed introducing the hunt terrier to people all over the world. I invite you to take a look at my hunt terriers and, if in the future, you would like to own one, I would be privileged to share my breeding program with you. The next chapter of my life with these amazing hunt terriers is adding the new colors--chocolate sables, true chocolate sables and blue hunt terriers. We are well on our way to establishing this with the addition of Arlo, Mags, Bayli, and of course, Jongen. The beautiful colors of chocolate sables and blues are a very unique addition to my breeding program.

ON THE HUNT

(he is the one holding Jadg). We have had a bit of a rough go this year getting good trails for her to get out on. The first 2 the deer were not wounded with a kill shot and she did absolutely wonderful considering she was on a never ending trail. She found blood where we never would have and I believe she tracked them just as far as she could. Actually the 2nd one she caught up to the deer and it jumped up and took off. She has also found both of Marks arrows that he figured were lost for good. But on this successful find there was no blood trail because the exit wound was blocked and there was about a 40 mph steady cross wind. Jason said she found the arrow with in 5 minutes max Mark had been looking for 45 min or better, and then she found the trail about 40 feet from where Mark thought it should start. Jason said she was pretty fun to watch because the wind was swirling and messing with her nose really bad, and due to no blood at all very hard trail, but she would be on it and then the wind would drift her off course a bit until she would all but loose it and he said you could just read pure frustration and almost panic in the way she acted because she would loose it. But she would all by herself go back to the last place she had a good scent and start again. And she was able to finally have a good successful find. On the previous two trails you could tell she was very upset and almost sad that we didn't find anything at the end. She would come over and sit on my foot lean her shoulder against my leg and just look up at me like I'm sorry mom I just couldn't find it. So anyway. I just thought that I would share the pics with you and let you know how the hunting season is going. She has a great nose and loves to use it. She knows when we go out on a trail and just gets so excited she can't contain herself. I am hoping through muzzle loader and late rifle season we can get some good trails for her to get some more practice on. I have told a few people that if they bring down a deer to give me a call so I can bring her up even if they know where it went down and the trail is one a 2 year old could follow just so she can get some good solid runs in this winter. Well I had better get going. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. Tammi Eberle

Jana: We are all excited that my brother is getting Lilly's sister, when ready. Attached are some updated pictures of Lilly in action. She's been surprisingly easy to train, and has taken to blood trailing pretty well (although she prefers treeing squirrels). She's been a great addition to the family, and hasn't missed a hunting opportunity yet.
Thanks again. Jason E. Dare

This was my first opportunity to watch Ruger work as a hunting dog and I was extremely impressed. He loves his job and is ready and willing to go whenever needed. Within a few minutes after being put down he picked up this buck's scent and within a few more minutes found him. He takes his job very seriously and is extremely diligent about it. I want to thank Dalton for allowing us to come down to see his ranch and to experience an exotic hunt first hand. It was awesome! Jim and Ruger Right side--Jim and Crackers.........a hunter in the making!
