Buck, Trudvang Bucjaeger, Teckel dog. Before you ask the answer is I don't know. Why I bought him. I just fancied learning about another breed. I don't have a rifle so Buck works pheasants and woodcock in Co. Tyrone. He will work with the spaniel, on the condition that there's no pointers about, but once Chris is on the scene Buck becomes his shadow. He has a nose to die for and as he's vertically challenged he needs to use it quite a lot to track the pointer he's working with. I had him on rabbit ground on Abbeystead Estate this year. It was the first time I had actually seen him working as usually he's in deep laurel bushes or brambles. His tail action, on game, is mesmerising but it was so obvious that he had more experience of pheasants. He gets to sleep in the house overnight and watches TV with me and the wife. Bred in Scotland from Danish parents.
