You can add to that digging under bore pumps and stuffing them up. They can be shot as vermin in NSW they are bad around cattle as the cattle can and fall into dens and break legs. My terrier went into the hollow base of a river gum dam a place we had got a few foxes dam if it didn't find a wombat I luckily got the dog out Un scathed but it was touch and go for a bit.

Whippets, thickets and working dog classes
stevemac replied to Luckee legs's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Any whippet that hunts rough country will be marked up. Those that only ever get a run in a clean paddock might get away with out a mark. But all the dogs at working dog shows are not nessessarily hunted. -
There are several ridged dog breeds in south east Asia the Rhodesian Ridge came from one of these that travel to Africa with traders. No doubt where the Rhodesians guarding instincts got a kick along.

yes Bird its been done plenty they have made some handy dogs. my mate only recentlt lost a soup hound that had a i/8 ridgeback. along with Ibizan , greyhound and pit bull he was one of best finding dog Ive ever seen and had more then enough speed and kill for one. there were a notable pair in South Australia that made ridgeback x grethound that made their living killing foxes. and of cause most of the kangaroo lines in WA have ridgeback some where..

Hunting with james and his bulldogs was a real experence.. ya James 's passing is a real loss to not only to his family but also so the dog hunting comunity in NSW. he was a great mate and I treasure our long conversations about hunting dogs or bulldogs or birds or fowls and ofcause Im sure we solved many of the worlds troubles at times. haha.

Yes the bitches are to a point but they like the back. Up from a big male though.

His pics are all over the net. He used to go crook if someone copied them until I explained how the net works. He real only go the shits with arseholes that claimed them as their owned. So you be right mate.

That sounds pretty typical of the bred Daniel especially of the night guarding part as the c**t that was trying to steel my car found out.

these were my mate James callens dogs I enjoyed many a hunt with James and his dogs before his passing.

having owned many ridgebacks along with foxhounds foxterriers Australian staghounds whippets and jack russells my main game being foxes and feral pigs my most favourite hunting trios have been one ridgeback with two staghounds they complement one another one a hunt the righeback being strong wind scenters but resonably close hunters ideal when you on foot. they do lack a turn of speed although a mile of endurance this is where the stag hounds come in as they read the ridgeback and when fox or pig explode from their seat the stags make very short races. If I could have added the rigebacks abil

Yep the above adds are on boardogs the pigdog site that was set up back when the chiller box was king and pigdog guys were rolling in cash. and even though the chiller box is not what it once was it seems the pig dog guys still want the big bucks for dogs. I have 3 stags and a JR i think I have 300 bucks in the lot of them.

Hi a few years back we had a holiday in nz while visiting g,ow worm caves I think in waitamo we stayed a BnB near by theire was a famed photo of a pack and riders on the wall of cause I took interest having owned foxhounds. the lady of the hoiuse informed me it was a photo of her taken by her husband and she rode to hounds quite often so obviously theres a pack about that area somewhere.

Anyone seen The Minkman and his lurchers on youtube
stevemac replied to jacob's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
was a time when he was convinced terriers were usleless for catching and we have had some heated discussions And I sent him a couple of videos of the educational kind of terriers on rats haha. he has seen the error of his and we get on fine now. but he gets out and has a go making a living out of it and feeding his familly. -
Gouldians do not have down feathers as they come from northern Australia where its hot. Here in the sourhern states of australia we have managered to acclimatise them but housing where there are no draughts is important.
-
I lost a couple of young birds was wondering why but you may have hit the nail on the head.
-
We like our runners to hunt up their own so are usually off lead, however when the terriers are working a patch the runners are kept at heel ready to spring the trap.

There is an old vid floating around that shows coyote dogs catching a mountain lion and streaching it out.

first of all know exactly what you want it for not all lurcher is the same. for example here we want dogs that can hunt like a pointer, the speed to make quick catch while being robust enough not to be broked down all the time, enough bottle to take on teeth and tusk without being suicidal. now to find that pup that will fill that roll ofcause starting with parents that are doing the job is number 1. looking at the physical traits of the pups as to wether they match the parents.once at this point it is time to start watching temperment 1 is dont pick the sook if it can stand up for its self wi
