    I used to breed quail and 3/4 of the chicks turned out to be males, absolute pain in the ass. I bred hundreds of the suckers too.

    So a terrier thats say 18lb weight goes into tight dark confined spaces for hours at a time to a big set of teeth in its own home and maybe do this sometimes a few times in the 1 day and every day its took out in its working life is not as admirable as a 70 to 90 lb lurcher taking 1 on the run? That is 1 of the most ridiculous statements ive ever read on here...and ive read some shite. Youv just said enough for me to know you either havnt done much terrier work or you play around with average russells, and yes I'll say it again it doesn't take what I'd call a great terrier to goe in to a den

    must have been some sight to see, from what I've seen kangaroos a'int slow and i'd imagine not every dog would have been able Like anything if you breed dogs for the job you're gonna have better luck, their pace and agility isn't on par with a hare though. It was always more about making sure the dogs learn to keep away from the back legs must have been some sight to see, from what I've seen kangaroos a'int slow and i'd imagine not every dog would have been ableDon't need a special dog to catch kangaroos at all All depends. Greys in pasture country are not difficult, especially on the l

    Those things have overrun my backyard here in the city.

    Why would anyone own a hunting dog that's human aggressive? What happens when it goes out of sight while hunting near a house, no stress? any human should be out of bounds to a hunting dog

    A 26-29 inch quality roodog would be my choice. As long as it doesn't have a high percentage of greyhound in its make up it would suit Australian conditions and that game well day or night.

    Even if they're considered a pest you'll still get charged for animal cruelty if caught by the wrong person. Some of the deerhound and wolfhound crosses do have the speed for fallow in the open but they generally start losing pace if the deer are turning too much

    Biggest mistake of your life ?

    They're basically just wild dogs and I've read they sometimes interbreed with strays and end up a lot bigger,so I was wondering if many dogs could do them. Is it illegal to hunt them? There's wild dogs and then there's dingoes. A mate went to court because he got caught dogging deer and dingoes, he said the dog that was used killed the dingoes as quick as his dogs would kill a fox with a throat hold... He got charged for aggravated animal cruelty for doing it but in court when the dogging of dingoes was brought up the judge didn't care and it wasn't apart of the charge. The laws here are

    Places where dingoes are worth running are really remote and the type of people that live in those areas aren't ones to talk about what they do or get on the Internet

    Plenty of stag and roodog lines getting bred that get the job done

    They will not throw one kick once on the deck. I've witnessed over 30 reds get killed. Only a couple were solo. 7 were killed in one hunt and all 4 dogs used couldn't hunt for 6 weeks afterwards. One dog was used on the sambar in one instance and she caught and killed two hinds and a good sized stag on her own in very rough mountains and she went on to catch 5 other big critters and kill them on her own that night, and it wasn't the sambar that made her sore. We couldn't believe it how a fully mature stag got tripped after a few attempts and the deer laid on its back squealing, not one kick.

    And then there's sambar deer over here that are as smart as anything, run down the hill quicker than a red, twice the size, twice the stamina, but once tripped even the biggest of stags will lay down and squeak like an elk bugling with just a single 28 inch dog on the throat. And on a flat or up hill they're as fast as a fox.I can't see anything taking down and holding down a Red Deer on its own let alone a Sambar...... Still happens though. Yeah in Fairy Tale land....A fallow buck puts sambar to shame in all areas except brains. The amount of pointers over here that catch and kill the odd

    this is one of my 6 month old pups, he's about 29 inches tall at the moment

    The borzois were imported from Russia and the wolfhounds were bred from show stuff but the pups were tested and culled until suitable stock was there. Although I'm not going to put up photos on a public forum

    I tested my whole team single handedly on multiple bucks and stags in the rut this year and it halved my team, not surprisingly 3 that are very closely related all did the job, they're old line roodogs, two which have a whisker of bully and ridgeback. My roodogs don't have any deerhound blood in them traced back over 30 years, and no greyhounds or greyhound blooded dogs have been put in the line. The only thing put in to freshen it up was a pure wolfhound and pure borzoi.

    Got dogs that do the job already, they've got almost no grey blood in them.

    This is my main game and when it comes to the rut or a male that fights hard using his antlers, every heavily influenced greyhound type took to barking that I've seen, they killed otherwise and took all other game. I hunt forests, sometimes see them in open paddocks if I'm lucky.

    There's no way of telling, as a rule I don't keep aggressive dogs. But the only way you can truly tell if a dog will make a fox dog is to put it on them.

    In reality no one knows what's in a staghound, they try and claim they do but really they don't. All I know about mine is that they had borzoi and irish wolfhound added in the past 30 years of breeding.

    I start all mine on fox at 9 month as long as they're keen for it. I only have 5 running dogs left in my yard out of maybe 20 or more in 9 years. The dogs that stick to it after starting at that age to me seem to be the type that do fox after fox without thinking twice and that's the type of dog I want.What cross are you running? What percentage do you find do stick to it after started at that age mate? Well apart from being lied to by people getting rid of pups claiming the parents do stuff they don't. I'd say I've gotten really lucky and a quarter make it. I haven't seen one that truly kills
