Badgers were not the only animals hunted but also rabbits, ferrets, deer, and foxes. Up to this date, they are among the most popular breeds as recognized by the American Kennel Club.

Not only are they good at hunting but also best as show dogs. This breed has proven to be excellent family dogs and watchdogs.
