Could not agree more with SAHUNT, I've had Jack Russells for several years and my current bitch has accounted for several 80 to 100 kilo boars by herself, is very calm around deer and goes to point and really does think she is a 30 kilogram dog. With the boars she bails them, and if they won't go to bail she goes for the "tackle". Tthey sit immediately and she runs to the front and bails. Most people don't believe it until they see it. A better companion you couldn't find, but as for retrieving waterfowl etc, I think she would have too hard a mouth. I have a German Wire Hair for that.

cheers
