Now living in the USA 14+ years I am looking forward to experiencing the dog hunt scene in another country, meeting up with fellow hunt enthusiasts exchanging stories knowledge etc... I now own and hunt quality Jagdterriers from Bulgaria and Serbia, hunting Bobcat, Raccoon, Boar etc.. also in the process of training a few young dogs for blood trail etc...
