are badgers the animals that Dax's go after regularly?
My oliver is really hung up on Raccoons.. which are abundant in our area. He is out right now guarding the house!!! They are on roof, sleep I think nearby in trees, like to hang out in garage .My one friend who walks him several mornings a week with his pooch thinks there is a bit of "coon dog" in him.
Oliver is a big time retriever.. balls, sticks, frisbee.. guess that is the golden manifesting itself,
That's what I have heard they were trained to do years ago in Germany. They would routinely patrol the parameter of their property and go into the badger holes after them. That's why they have been bred to be long and round....just the right size to fit into a badger hole. Fearless little dogs! :-)
Grrrrreat thread, Miss Doly ... woof ... )
A wonderful story you have told us ... and to have pics of the moment you first met Oliver is too precious.
