    Always found an older dog that knows the ropes will teach young dog much more than any training tricks.

    Dogs breed for a purpose that are not given a purpose often become a problem.

    Been a lot mixed in to deer hunting dogs out here chartpolski. This one being a black and tan, the ones I find most interesting are called English coonhound coincidently. Think it comes from the original English foxhounds the breed came from.

    A long dog good on ya by the way. Deerhound was often added to greyhound lines here in Australia back in the early part of last century before registration became so strict for track dogs. The second cross back to the greyhound was the ducks guts feed coursing back when it was sanctioned.

      I hunt rabbits mainly, not many out Dubbo way I believe but lived not far from Wellington a few years ago and the place was over run with deer, fox and hares. I had a bloke from Coolah wanting me to get rid of rabbits, I was busy moving at the time but reckons there were hundreds on his place.

    I have a wolfhound greyhound deerhound greyhound hes 29.5 inches its I went for him because wolfhounds give a bit more nose to the mix but my bloke is very much a point and shoot type, dam quick dog with good finish just have to rely on the other dog to get them moving first.

    One fox hound from the Perth hunt in WA he was a trialling power and many fox and feral pigs meet their dimise over him.

    Here in Aus plenty of pig dogs go missing some a killed by farmers or dingo packs but some are ruff enough and smart enough to live in the bush for years. They tend to form a pack with a young dingo bitch. If they stay away from stock but most dont and the the poison, the trap, or the rifle take them out.

    rabbits were bought to Australia in small lots they blumed to become an eccological night mare in their millions to the point Australians have been at war with rabbits ever since. The point given favourable conditions they have remarkable ability to bounce back from just about anything. Be it viral or hunting pressure.

    Jadgforlife the way dogs are used in Europe in your driven hunts is very different from the way dogs are used to hunt feral pigs in Australia. Where a hound or jagd that give voice are just the ticket for driving game to guns, this is far from the method dogs are required to run silent use their nose and get quickly up on their game make a catch and hold the pig so the hunter can catch up and dispatch the game with a knife. Bull terriers both pure and cross bred have been used for fifty years that I know and the Bull terrier brings a lot to a pig hunting dog. Not only the tenacity to see the
