Feist dog breed temperament

Many of these dogs are described as energetic, intelligent, and adaptable, with a great sense of their surroundings. Learning the exact character of an unstandardized dog breed can be tricky, and individual dogs will be pretty different - both physically and mentally. These dogs specialize in hunting rodents like rats, mice, and squirrels. Mind you, they are still a hunting breed, and if they see a rat, their hunting instincts will kick in. They have more tracking hound traits, which makes them a bit friendlier and more outgoing. Terriers, in general, have a high prey drive, but since Beagles were added to this breed, their temperaments became a lot milder. Unlike Jack Russell Terriers, Feist dogs are a lot calmer when they are not running or hunting. These dogs come in different color combinations, with the most popular ones being black and tan, blue and white, brindle and black, and red and white. It has a smooth coat that sheds moderately all year. They have a specific body structure that makes them slim, fast, and extremely agile. Feist dogs have smooth coats.įeist dogs are usually around 18 inches tall and can weigh up to 20 pounds. Jack Russell Terriers have shorter legs and tails, and their coats are usually coarse. However, there are some critical differences between them. In fact, they are so alike that Feists are often mistaken for Jack Russells. The Feist dogs are small, active hunters that look a lot like the Jack Russell Terriers. The two types are, of course, the Treeing and Mountain Feist dogs. The truth is still unclear, but the widest accepted theory is that the two varieties are different only by the place where they come from. Some claim there are no physical differences, while others claim there are, and they should be differentiated by their size. There is still a spirited debate among the Southern breeders and owners about different varieties of the Feist dogs. It is clear that the Feist is a mix of plenty of breeds, and the result is a scrappy hunting dog that comes in different varieties. The first three were added to improve the Feist dog’s speed, and the Beagle was added to improve their hunting and tracking abilities. Most noticeably, the Feist dog is a mix of:Īfter a while, Feist dog breeders added several other breeds, and each of the added breeds had an exact reason behind the introduction. It came to life as a result of mixing different breeds that English farmers and immigrants brought with them to the US couple of hundred years ago. The Feist dog is an American, unregistered, yet fairly popular dog breed. So why not start with a domestic one like the Feist dog? What is a Feist dog? But getting to know all local breeds is nearly impossible. US cynology association currently has 197 registered dog breeds, and the FCI recognizes over 390. Trim his nails as needed, usually every few weeks, and brush his teeth for good overall health and fresh breath.Getting to know all registered dog breeds can be tricky. No regular Grooming is needed and weekly Brush for removing dead hair, and bathe only when necessary. Their price depends upon the pup’s age, sex, quality, pedigree, and breeder’s location. The average price of a Mountain Feist puppy from a reputable breeder is between $500 to $800, while a top-quality Mountain Feist dog can cost as high as $1000 and upward of $3000.

What breeds would you consider to be food options for outcrossing with the Doberman, and why. Have there been any promising outcrosses in your opinion? I’d love to learn more about this. It’s so interesting.

Hehehehe food options.

I think it is more than breed. I think it's going to need to come down to useage and temperament. Certain common mixed breeds and types may be better suited than purebreds to add into the gene pool.

First I would start with what we know. German pinscher, rottweiler, manchester terrier, and greyhound.

Greyhound we know was added mainly for aesthetic, and we really need to consider aesthetic last when it comes to this breed. There are plenty of dobermans that look correct that we can breed to when the time is right to regain aesthetic. If the addition of a sighthound is truly necessary, I would say something more akin to a RR or sloughi for the more protective/wary temperament, or ibizan for their robust health is probably better than a greyhound at this point.

Manchester terrier makes up the bulk of the terrier traits of the doberman, with hints of german pinscher thrown in. I wouldn't be mad about adding either or both to the pile however manchesters do have a known DCM problem and GPs do have CHF, so I can understand why many doberman people are leery of returning to the known terrier roots when trying to avoid heart problems in the first place. My suggestion- the airedale- also has a known heart problem unfortunately. However I do think terriers as a breed group should not be wholly discarded, simply that we would need to find a feisty terrier breed or type that is hardy and fearless. Feists as used by hunters, especially boar and bear hunters, are a solid possibility if we can find one that's actually health tested. Personally I wouldn't be too mad about a bully breed working in protection sport or big game hunting but that may add a little too much dog aggression to the mixture. Dobermans are described as "belligerent" with other dogs, but they IMO should still be controllable around another dog and not act like an idiot.

Rottweiler as "butcher's dogs", where they were more of an even mix of herding and mastiff traits instead of the heavily mastiff influenced breed they are now, provide an interesting perspective. Right now, the european show line doberman (often just called "euro") is far too molossus and far less terrier than it should be. Adding rottweiler as they are now would continue to exacerbate this problem, unless we added fairly fine-boned rotties which is technically correct (a "good doberman" should be difficult to tell from a "bad rottweiler" after all) but then we are seeking incorrect dogs in the breed we're borrowing genes from and that gets us into a whole additional mess. We may need to break it down into two separate pieces: herding and mastiff.

I'm actually not mad about the known mal/dobe and dutch/dobe crosses as I think that could have been fairly successful, if only the folks involved had used good dogs rather than just picking any old doberman and any old mal/dutch and expecting these puppies to be fire from birth. What ended up happening is that the puppies are largely fairly lackluster in protection, but okay as active pets and other performance sports. This is mainly a result of using dogs that were already lackluster themselves- a better result would have happened if they had used proven parents. How do I know this? Because for a very long time the most recent doberman ancestry dog that did anything in KNPV was not a purebred but a mal/dobe cross (in between a purebred dobe owned here in the states 20 years ago, and a handful of purebred dobes owned overseas a few years ago). The cross can work. You just need the right dogs for it.

As far as mastiff goes, personally I would prefer the mastiff traits to be somewhat diluted through a different type before being added to the doberman. What I mean by that is while I'm willing to acknowledge that the corso/dobe outcross was one of the more successful in creating a doberman-appearing and doberman-seeming dog, both physical and temperamental mastiff traits continue to appear in the dogs produced by the project, making them continue to occupy a weird "not really either" space. This problem is compounded by the fact that, once again, lackluster dogs were used in the first place. Perhaps with a proper working doberman and a proper working corso a better temperament result could have occurred, but we'd still be fighting those mastiff traits in the face and body.

Instead I again would bring up bully breeds, especially bully breed crosses with other working dogs, to dilute these mastiff traits and combine them with other traits we are actually looking for. The bandog [APBT x working mastiff]/dobe cross in I believe Czech Republic is, so far, the most successful by temperament. This is because the dobe used is a successful bitesport dog and the bandog used is successful in real life working fields as a security guard's dog. The resultant puppies are following in their parents' footsteps quite well from the looks of things. They mostly look like pit bull mixes but this is a much better result because the quality of the dogs used was better to begin with. I wouldn't even be mad about those bull terrier x malinois crosses I've seen occasionally for sport (which, btw, mega heart eyes) as that would combine THREE traits we're looking for.

I also think that this would need to happen more than once, more like several crosses of each of these suggestions to multiple different dogs as distantly related as possible, then bred together and with the wider doberman gene pool to spread the (hopefully) improved health throughout the breed. We will lose a lot in aesthetic initially but that is the least concern as that can be gained back fairly rapidly. The most important thing should be health, and immediately following after should be temperament.

No more of this "english bulldog to doberman" "smooth collie to doberman" "pointer to doberman" "husky to doberman" nonsense. It's nonsense. These dogs add absolutely nothing to the breed except traits we don't want, neither look nor act like the breed, and some of them only add more health problems that we already didn't want to worry about. No more of this "well I just wanted to make pets". The doberman is not a pet dog. It's a working dog. If you want to help fix the doberman breed then your first goal should be to create more working dogs. The health is in jeopardy but so is the temperament, and completely losing temperament for the sake of preserving aesthetic and maaaaaaaybe fixing health is completely unforgivable.

If you like long hot water bottles, this could be a fantastic option for you. He is super affectionate, and he loves nothing more than to snuggle up with his family in the evenings. Left: Dachshund (Source: Nel_Botha-NZ, Pixabay), Right: Japanese Chin (Source: GoranH, Pixabay) Temperament & Intelligence of the Doxie Chinīesides his traits that we mentioned above, he has a whole host of lovable qualities that you are bound to fall in love with. This makes him an excellent option for those who can’t decide between a cat and a dog. He cleans himself fastidiously, he climbs onto high shelves to snooze, and is quiet, and sensitive too. But, his Japanese Chin parent is described as a feline-like breed. We can assure you there is no actual cat mix in this guy. As such, we advise not to let him off the leash because he’ll be off like a shot if he sees something small and furry. This means that the Doxie Chin is likely to inherit some of this instinct. His Dachshund parent is a natural badger and vermin hunter. This is why it is so important to research both parent breeds to ensure that you like them both, no matter what outcome the Doxie Chin takes. Although they are not entirely different, there are differences. The Doxie Chin’s personality is unpredictable.īecause the Doxie Chin is a mixed breed, he can inherit the characteristics of either parent. You’ll only end up with an unhealthy and unhappy puppy. If they can’t show you the above, they insist on payment before you have met the pups, or you get a bad feeling about them, walk away. Puppy mills might tempt you with a lower cost or a higher one claiming them to be a unique pup. They will also be able to show you his parent’s health certificates, as well as the pups and their parents themselves. It’s crucial to work with a reputable breeder who can prove to you that they are experienced and knowledgable in Daschund and Japanese Chin breeding. As with anything popular, he is bound to get more expensive. This is a lot less compared to his purebred parents, who can set you back thousands of dollars. The average price of a Doxie Chin, from a reputable breeder, will set you back anywhere between $300 and $600. But for those that love his parents, know that this is all part of his charm. Most of the time, the Doxie Chin does what he wants when he wants. This means that if you seek an obedient dog, this isn’t a great match. This means that you can expect your Doxie Chin to be doubly so. Families that spend long hours out of the house will be faced with the Doxie Chin wrath.Īnd finally, both of his parents are independent (read, stubborn) dog breeds. He suffers from separation anxiety, so he needs to be homed with a family that can offer him lots of attention and most of their time. With this in mind, you need to be warned that he hates to be left alone. But with his gorgeous face, you’ll forgive him in no time. The Doxie Chin always wants to be the center of attention and spoilt rotten. However, if you like small dogs with big attitude, we think you’d make a great match. We’ll explain why you shouldn’t not yell at him, but just be prepared for him to be put out for a few days. If you are looking for a dog who can relax in his own company without demanding any attention, this might just be the last dog you look for.

Oh no! This guy is full of feist and sassy attitude. If you can tick these boxes, he is sure to make an excellent match for you and your family. And here we are going to run you through his sticking points. The Doxie Chin, just like all dogs out there, has characteristics that aren’t for everyone. We’ll cover why on this Doxie Chin discovery. He is sweet, loving, and full of little-dog beans, but he is not suited to every dog owner. This complete breed guide is a must-read for anyone looking to welcome this little chap into their life. But we think he is about to become very popular, so we gathered there’s a lot of soon-to-be Doxie Chin owners out there who need a helping hand with their research.įrom his personality to his intelligence, his grooming needs down to how much food he needs every day, we’ve covered it all. This pup isn’t that common at the minute because he is a new canine concoction. The Doxie Chin is the delightful doggy hybrid of two very special dogs, the famous Dachshund, and the distinctive-looking Japanese Chin. Families with children, patient owners, those with time to offerįun, sassy, stubborn, affectionate, sweet

what’s a good breed for a first time squirrel dog handler? would you stick to curs?

That entirely depends on what sort of dog you think you'd like. If I'd started with a cur I'd probably never hunt squirrel again, I can't stand curs. Other people love them and want nothing else. Look into the various squirrel hunting breeds (curs, feists, hounds, Laikas, even border collies) and compare their temperament, size, training, and care requirements, and go with whatever breed suits what you're looking for the best.

What They Are Like to Live With

Feists have lots of energy, but around the home they aren’t likely to bounce off the walls—in fact, they are more than happy to cuddle on the couch. Easy to train and eager to please, Feists can help on the farm, in the field or in the yard. And if you have a rat problem, they will soon make it go away. They also love to play in the park and jog through the neighborhood.

Feists get along great with children. They have gentle, adaptable personalities, and they know when to adjust the energy level. Their solid terrier genes can make them slightly territorial, but they are generally good with new people. However, they do have nose when it comes to intruders—they will bark and alert the family if they sense a threat.

Things You Should Know

Feists need at least 30 minutes of exercise every day, whether through walks, jogs through the neighborhood or hikes in the park. Being an intelligent working breed, they also like constructive games and tasks to keep their minds sharp. They will be happy living in an apartment as long as their daily exercise requirements are met.

A healthy Feist can live as long as 18 years. These are solid, healthy little dogs for the most part, but some can develop hip dysplasia and allergy problems. Their short coat is easy to manage. Just brush them every few days.

Feist History

Feists (also called Mountain Fesists) originated in North America several hundred years ago, probably from crosses between English terriers and American Indian dogs. Today, Feists are still valued by hunters, farmers and families for their great tracking and pest-control abilities, not to mention their steady temperaments.
