Tracking puppies --- have homes!

In the "Specialty Forum" of the classifieds.

Gotta love the tradition of hunting with a good dog and a real bow.

yep...my drahthaar puppy has done good with rabbit tracks (live) and drags of coons and ducks. Has done a little blood tracking but should get some good practice this year as we prepare for his final test next year with a 600 yd blood track required as part of it.

Hi Shaun - looks like we're going to be in Mo Memorial Day weekend, hopefully you'll be around and we can stop in on the way home to see the little ones. Katia IS NOT allowed to bring one home ! I also need to talk with you about that Osage for my buddy in MT.

Lookin good....

Coming along nicely at 4 1/2 weeks old. Starting to eat solid food and explore. These are going to be some special blood trackers. This will be the only litter from my dog Grätsche. Two female pups still looking for hunters.

Good looking pup. That's a heck of a deal. A field bred dachshund without the wait. I think it took me almost a year to get ours.

Interesting,do you use them during the hunt or just to recover animals?

Sam McMichael · May 29, 2017, 05:46:00 PM

Man, I wish I could take one the pups, but its just not possible. It looks like you have an up and coming hunting partner. Cute dogs for sure.

Ryan Rothhaar · May 29, 2017, 09:56:00 PM

Saw the pups today, great lookin fat little girls!

With the bloodline and proven parents of these pups all you guys that dream about a blood tracking dog better get on the horn to Shaun. I am 100% certain you couldn't find better prospects for blood tracking Teckel pups in the United States right now.... no matter the coat type! I'm not blowing smoke on that either. Shaun isn't just a proud papa when he says this litter has the makings of something VERY special.

Good to see ya Shaun and those are some nice looking pups. Wish we could use them in Kansass but, sadly, not allowed... :rolleyes:
BTW, bout 10 years ago you made a bow for the auction at Mojam. Thought you like to know that it's still shooting good.

Shaun · May 30, 2017, 03:41:00 PM

Paul, glad to hear the bow still flings an arrow.

Tim in WA, I use Grätsche mostly for blood tracking, but I do small game hunt with her (gun) and she is death on homestead varmints. Not to mention, she is a great family dog in the home - which is in reality 95% of a dog's time.

She is able to sit quietly in a blind and stay calm even after I shoot. It is amazing to watch her just watch as hogs, turkeys and even deer mill about 15 yards away. More self control than me.

8 weeks old on June 21

Ryan Rothhaar · May 30, 2017, 10:13:00 PM

Way better self control than Oskar, too

Maybe the pups end up in the sweet spot in the middle!

I'm not sore from the chase, though. He did sleep all the way to Indiana.

Thanks again for the yaller wood.

This almost makes me wish I needed a second tracker! Great looking pups, Shawn!!

tippit · June 03, 2017, 10:36:00 PM

I still have Tilly & Cash or I'd be knocking on your door!

Hawkdancer · June 04, 2017, 11:44:00 PM

Nice looking pup! I judge AKC Earthdog trials and have had wire hairs for many years! We didn't get to hunt much with them, but our bitch did get her Jr ED - our male couldn't care less about it! He thought "Intro to Quarry" was a social event!
We aren't quite legal with blood tracker in Colorado yet, but I think it is close to being accepted and legal. Last season was the first we could use lighted nocks! Things take a while. We
May be interested, if you don't get them placed with someone you know.

I've owned 4 of these little boogers in the past. Gosh these pics make me miss them. Mine were just pets, but dang they could make me laugh and sometimes they were brave to the point of being suicidal. Great little hounds.

Nobody else has asked yet, so I will. What is the difference between a teckel and a dachshund?

Great looking pups!

meathead · June 08, 2017, 08:56:00 PM

Nothing. Same short dog different name.

ChuckC · June 08, 2017, 08:58:00 PM

Everything i read seems to say it is the European name for the blood trailing, wirehaired Dachshunds.

Teckel = dachshund, and a teckel is a teckel is a teckel.....coat type does not matter. Teckel is German, the breed registration organization internationally recognized is the DTK- Deutscher Teckelklub . Generally folks in the US use "Teckel" to designate dogs of true hunting bloodlines (generally European) vs pet type dogs..dachshund.... or "doxies" for 15 yr old girls

There are 3 coat types and 2 or 3 sizes. Coat types are the original smooth coat (Shaun's are smooths), the longhair, and the wire hair. The wires are better known for hunting in the US because of the Jeanneney's, and John's books. All the coat types can hunt, it depends on bloodline, not coat type. Wires were actually developed for more earth dog type traits and not as much for blood work.

Sizes are "standard" and "mini", there is a "rabbit" sub size in between, but I don't know that it is fully accepted. Shaun's dogs are standards.

This bloodline has been developed over 25-30 years by an EXTREMELY dedicated breeder of smooth hair dogs for hunting, breeding for perfection in conformation and old-fashioned hunting traits. These dogs are very special.
