Hunting with CsV

[yukidomari]

I'm a little confused as to the DE law everyone is talking about. Are there laws regarding which dogs can be used for hunting in parts/all of Europe?

In JP and in US you can hunt with any dog you want. I know people who even have hunting poodles and mixed breeds (for hunt-related things too like retrieving).

Can someone explain to me a little about the laws regarding hunting dogs?

Silvester, I cannot read German well at all, just a few words here and there. If you can repost some of them in English (I can't assume you know JP? ) I would really appreciate that.

In Lithuania there are hunting rules, not a law, just rules, but every diesent hunter should follow them. And these rules say that it is allowed to hunt only with hunting breeds. Anyway, a lot of huntėrs also use mies and even wolf-hyrids (thay are popular - mixes of laikas and wolfs).
These rules are called "Hunting rules in a teritory of Republic of Lithuania" and if you come to our country to hunt you have to follow them too
Here is the original text in Lithuanian http://www.hunter.lt/ist/ist2.htm - hope google translator will help you a lot (sorry, no time to translate that much...)

Thanks for the response, Vaiva. Is there a reason to limit the breeds? Not trying to be difficult, just wondering about the rationale behind this. Wouldn't a hunter use whatever dog was most efficient to get the job done?

What qualifies a dog as a hunting breed? Does it matter if the dog is used as a gun-dog or auxiliary service like retriever?

ETA: Just saw your response Silvester - looking forward to hearing about your experiences soon!

Hi Yukidomari again !

i think it is NOT of public interest here what is allowed by German law or not , or what kind of dog breeds are used legally or illegally for hunting in different countries.

I still have the opinion that this should be mainly a forum for CSV and not a special talk- show for German law or other dog-races.

So I will only write about my experiences with my former Csv here, nothing else.

Of course this must NOT be valid for other Csv, for every dog is an individuum - should be clear, i think !

Ok, now i don´t have the time for longer posting - i will write more tomorrow to answer about your questions in your first posting today, dear Yukidomari.

Nice time to everyone - and bye- bye for today !
