Good point compo Eastern countries do look at things differently it may be that one day we will have to travel to these countries to get a hunt how sad that will be. How ever the bunny huggers look at at things in their own F@#ked up way and they wont care who they are using that type of video against. If thats how you think you need to start your wolf hound then by all means, I just dont think we need to help them get rid of us. Stevemac

Now Allgame Im 50yrs old and have been doggin since I was about 7 I caught my first pig when I was about 13, just me and my dob. x lab. now theres not much I haven't seen in my 43yrs doggin. but Ill tell you this for nothing the reason we can still do what we do today is because there never was no internet or hardly any magazines around until resent years to advertise to all and sundry about what you may need to do to get a dog going the way you want. At the height of the hunting protest in the UK, there was a video going around of a fox being droped out of a bag for a pack of young entered

Looked like a canned hunt to me. At best some type of training the dogs didn't look to keen. I see videos like this just just giving the bunny huggers fuel it was this sort of things that got the laws bought in the UK . Most of us here in Aus. have the sence to keep our hunting to our selves. Of cause there are thje D#@k heads that have to video every thing It only has to hit the wrong hands and the wankers start. Just some thoughts Stevemac

Down in victoria last year their was a girl that exhibited a pair of alpine dingoes at a running dog show apperently they one a ribbon for the best pair . It was also reported that the judge wasn't the only one keeping a close eye on them. As far as owning them I have a few mates that have found pups and taken them home they seem fine when young but they reach adult hood they manage to take off never to be seen again. Stevemac

I agree mitch she is a fine looking girl. that hairy dog s not to bad either. would love to see them in action. do you hunt in open paddocks mostly staghound or do use them in scrub as well. stevemac

HaHaHa Tomo. weve had a few of your lot come over to work with us of late, good blokes they enjoy the beer and the sun shine, just cant understand them. lol I could be wrong but I was under the impression that a cross between to different sighthounds is a longdog. The term staghound as best as I can make out was a local name for a scotish deerhound, now days the name has been given to our coated long dogs, the smooth haired verity is known as kangaroo dogs, both the same type apart from coat. stevemac

Its a good way to get a dog killed The bat crouches down with its arse to the entrance allowing the dog to climb up its back, then it stands up crushing the air out of the dog with its boney plate in its back this suffercates the dog then no more fido. Not a good target speices. stevemac

Absolutly whippet boy Ive done all sorts of hunting with all sorts of dogs but I must admitt my staghounds are the best all round dogs I have ever owned and a hell of a lot of fun. steve

My sixteen year old son took my two stags out for a run this afternoon for a walk , they had a couple of good runs on the rabbits, buggers sit to close to the warrens around here so they dont give us much chance of a catch during daylight. after a bit more walk the dogs put up a good big adult hare which took them on a good long run until the bitch caught. she has a very soft mouth when comes to rabbits and hares and Ive taught her to return to hand. she carried the hare back 300yds or so until she was about 4feet from him she dropped it, the hare then made good its escape. so I guess she was

Cant beleive you guys haven't mentioned a couple of deerhound x greyhounds they do the buisness for us in our wide open spaces. Stevemac -
kelpie cross's what are they like and are they any good
stevemac replied to a topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Just caught up with this post, Ive had a fair bit of experance with aussie working dogs mostly as a young bloke mustering cattle around the mountain region of central eastern NSW, boarder collie , kelpie, cattle dogs and mixes of all three were the dogs of choose back in those days, The dogs had to be all rounders and all would have a go wether it was yard work, paddock work or mustering up on the mountain. Of cause different ones excelled at different aspects of the work. My favorites were the cattlex Kelpe great working dogs. when mustering the work was long and hard but also great fun you n -
YOU THINK YOUVE GOT DOGS TO FEED LOOK AT THESE
stevemac replied to a topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Hounds have been feed like that for hundreds of years, why change to some nambi pambi way now. -
Mitch I think they would have to a large stag and they would have to be in open country. one on one would be a chance but I have only seen them in small packs. Stevemac

Ive had a couple of experiences with them both when mustering cattle when I was a youg fella and in the same area hunting deer. the first was we were mustering on a friends property the country is mostly thick scrub and deep gullies, the cattle back in those days only saw humans about twice a year. I sent a cattle dog and a kelpe into one of these gullies to find strays when an almighty blue broke out, what had happened was that they either stumbled on to the local dingo pack or they were stalking the dogs and decided that was a good spot to belt the dogs. any way I had to ride into the scrub

Yep I always thought a tumbler was a pigeon as well, I like to see a pic. of a smithfeild if any one has one. stevemac

No not nessessaryly so Mitch. take gaby, pearl and silver for example 3 litter sisters gaby and pearl through to their greyhound mother where silver thru to their deerhound father. stevemac

You lot must have some shit lines over there or they are in the hands of the wrong people. my best mate before he past bred them for 30yrs we never had trouble when we hunted our dogs together and for a bloke with slow dogs boy did he catch some hares and foxes. very smart dogs and in the his hands model citizens.

Nature does not work that way and you wont get 50% Height, speed, coat or endurance and the pups will through more to one parent or the other. even when breed deerhound x greyhound the pups will throw like that. stevemac

Come on whippet boy you cant go to jail for dreaming. stevemac

Mate a shoty with SGs or a 222 or 223 would knock them buggers over.

Hi jake can oniy agree wiyh grubavitch staghounds look at the world every differently from your average pig dog, and as was said they need the time to mature, I have known blokes that have given up on sight hounds just because they are as big a meat head as the dogs they like and are not prepared to listen and have ruined perfectly good hounds starting them to early. Stevemac

Moved to tassie , No pigs , No foxes , pretty said really from what im told wallabies and perhaps deer ar the main go down that way. either way you need a fast strong dog reccon a couple of stags would be the go. I know j. Callan has a litter planed stag/grey cross should be rippers. you can get his number of boardogs deerandbull kennels. good hunting stevemac

Jack Russell X Australian Terrior
stevemac replied to holy grail's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Mate it will work or it wont you wont know till you give it a try. The truth of the matter is that almost all breeds came to this country as show dogs it is just that us hunters have taken them and given them a try some make it some dont, But if we didnt give them a try we would not have the hunting dogs today that can match it with any.
