  1. I'm on the nsw vic border. Mostly chase hares but not by choice. They're just everywhere here and too easy to get the dogs onto them. I can't say what suits people in England will suit us here. I need dogs that have a good strike and will catch quick. It's not uncommon for the hares to have a couple hundred metre lead, it's the same with all the game I hunt really.
  2. I've had best success with borzoi crosses. Where are you located mate? We have them in plague proportions in my area.
  3. Got 3 dogs here that do the some. It gets farking annoying! Especially when you have 7 dogs wanting to get inside lol
  4. I named a dog Sookie back in 2010. She was a bloody sook, try not to jinx your dog by giving it that kind of name haha
  5. Sounds to me someone just picked some poorly bred breeding stock. You've got to work from the ground up to breed dogs and the amount of people that look past it is astonishing.
  6. Line bred dogs generally don't but very rarely they come out smooth coated from hairy dogs but still call them stags. Stags are a more solid type of dog while the roo dogs seem a bit lighter I reckon.
  7. Roodog on the left and Staghound on the right. Edit: it keeps saying the files are too big to upload when I try to upload a decent photo so you'll have to settle for that shit quality photo that hardly shows the dogs on an accidental cub.
  8. Roo dogs are large smooth coated running dogs with nothing other than sight hound blood. Staghounds are the same but hairy. I'm a fussy eater and rarely eat either because I like neither. In most states it's illegal to hunt deer with sight hounds but in others it's a grey area. Roodogs should have the ability to catch and kill (or hold pigs) anything they're pointed at.
  9. Dunno man I'm pretty sure roo dogs were bred for roos maybe? Not sure though lol Wallabies taste totally different to roos and are the size of a kangaroos Joey
  10. That's a bloody shame, he was always helpful and made me laugh on TSC. Rest in peace Steve!
  11. Not rabbiting dogs but they catch them.
  12. This is one of the smallest paddocks I hunt, it's 600 acres. That light shines as far as you can see and you can't see the end of the paddock.
  13. The dogs I use, use their nose too. If they didn't I don't think they would catch 90% of what they do get. They catch hares too in our large paddocks.
  14. In severe drought is when I've seen them go our new born calves. Definitely been pushed to do so, the ground is dead in the drought here
  15. I can't say I've ever seen a wedgie killed on a road?
  16. Females can weigh up to 6kg and they're over a metre tall. They are often in groups of 3 or 4 when I see them Edit: Google says they have the biggest wingspan out of any eagle too. They're a huge bird and a true sight to see.
  17. Don't think it's photo shopped. We've had these eagles ( wedged tailed eagle ) harass calves. Have seen photos of them dropping young pigs out of the air too.
  18. In big open paddocks, say 1000+ acres with no fences or cover I think most dogs won't catch a fallow or red with pure speed. They need to wear them down or catch them quick before they know what's going on like hares. But when it comes to hunting small paddocks for deer they make the mistake of turning when they have pressure on them when they approach a fence or cover where a dog makes the catch...
  19. 20 times 200 yards isn't even 4km let alone 4 mile lol
  20. I was talking to an old fella that has been hunting with deerhounds his whole life (86 years). He said back in the day you would pick any pup out of a litter and you would have a dog that would catch and kill any emu and roo it could, 7 days a week. But now the problem is only a very small percentage turn out good hunters, and you'd take them out 7 days a week but the dog won't hunt for one or two of those days. So he's pretty much saying they're no longer consistent.
  21. Boar , kangaroo , Ostrich !!!!!! as well as wild dogs and feral cats , fek off ! rabbits was a bit far fetched , You missed crocodiles out you dim witted ,boomerang throwing , Abo shagging LIAR Boar, Roos and cats don't take much catching. I doubt the dog gets emus, wild dogs and foxes unless its ran with a quicker dog.
  22. Would also like to see him catching wild dogs, they're fast fuckers. Got any pics?
