    I decided to go for a last minute run and my least experienced and smallest dog, 25tts (ridgeback wolf grey borzoi) caught his first dog fox on his own and also picked up a hare and retrieved it live to hand. Very happy with his efforts

    if they were half cross to a 1/4 bull 3/4 grey that would make it 3/8th bull not 3/4...

    you tried walking away from the dog when he has a rabbit? you said you chased him and have to pounce on him that's really not good...

    Hmm ! Have you ever been down there and hunted with these lads and dogs ?? If you ever get the the chance, you may be pleasently supprised !! Cheers. unfortunately no, but I would love to, from what i read from hunting reports, sounds like a smashing place to hunt, would love to hunt them sambar deer with dogs. Reading is nothing to actualy doing it ! Save up, buy a ticket, get in touch with the lads down there, ( they are the best and will gladly take a decent bloke out hunting), get down there and do it !! I GUARANTEE you will have the best time of your life, if you are se

    like what mate? it's different to hear of someone using collie or saluki in their dogs over here. wolfhounds, borzois and ridgebacks to name a few, fairly uncommon over here, I suppose its simply horses for courses you're just naming what's in my dogs lol. I don't know anyone else that has running dogs with ridgeback in them and very few people have dogs with borzoi in them. Most popular breeds in running dogs over here are whippet, bull, deerhound, greyhound. So not really any different to over your way

    The real reason people had pure wolfhounds over here was for chasing kangaroos when it was legal, kangaroos aren't really agile at all so an agile dog isn't needed, but the stronger the dog the handier. Just going off what I've read...

    got no pics but hunted with a young one a year back. was almost picking up rabbits but im pretty sure the bloke got it for deer. unfortunately he said it turned out too slow for deer (even though he bought it for $1000 he has a feeling a great dane got over the IW rather than the persons IW) he said it has a fair crack at fallow but he needs to run it with a quicker dog and it will then try to retrieve the deer to him.

    What are you trying to say? The pigdogs are nothing at all like the running dogs, the running dogs we use are very similar to what you have over there but we need dogs with better feet and better heat tolerance. People use Dane X mastiffs and such for their endurance, heat tolerance and holding power. A fair few pig hunters over here do it for a living and I have to say I don't see many running dogs having the holding power and nose to consistently find big pigs off the ute (with their nose) and hold them for the usual long period it takes for the hunter to get to the pig and dispatch it. The

    I know people that take fallow, reds and sambar. Their dogs rarely go for the neck so once the deer gets tripped it's not uncommon for the deer to get back up and drag the dogs. But from what I've experienced with my dogs, that always go for the neck on cats and anything bigger, once it's on the ground it's usually accounted for. Had fallow does and red hinds straightline my dogs through shitty ground, they're a good test for the dogs IMO

    How is it possible to guarantee that just because they are bred off that person and lurcher to lurcher that they WILL retrieve work well be good with ferrets and biddable ? No dog is bred with that that is down to the person who put the energy and time in , one thing Iv lernt about dogs the years Iv had them is every one is different in each way just because its bred the wright way it doesn't mean it comes born with abilities it means u got a better chance of bringing the dog on the right way Over here no one really cares much if the dogs don't retrieve. I used to try as hard as I could

    what cross is the dog on the left? looks like a giant russell
  19. Ausnick
    I bred a litter and the pups are one out killers on all game at 12 months so if you chose the right dogs you'll have a handy cross!

    I've seen one that did them no problem and could get 5 a night a couple nights a week but that dog was outstanding, could handle any game. that was one of 10 whippets and whippet Xs ive seen though and the only one to take anything that fights back cleanly

    tease them with it, get them really excited and keep hitting them with the sock to get them psyched up, not too hard that it thinks it's in trouble though obviously

    I got bored today so I decided to go for a ride on the motorbike, as always all 4 dogs came with me, 3 running dogs and a terrier. I was going to go down the same bit of road as I always do but I saw a truck coming in the distance so I turned off onto a road where an old abandoned deer farm is, no one has lived there for 7 or 8 years, the owners of it moved to New Zealand. Anyway they used to have a load of animals there, peacocks, goats, emus, ostriches, fallow deer, red deer, guinea fowl, and when they moved away all they did was open the gates and let everything go! All the animals left exc

    Nice sizes for the game you chase. I was with a bloke tonight that had a roodog that made my 29inch roodog X look like a whippet! I estimate it at being about 34 inches. I love the taller dogs for chasing game out on the 400+ acre paddocks I hunt. Having that extra leg really helps on the big slips.

    never used to use nets at all and one day caught over 75 rabbits with one dog cleaning them all up and the other one just catching one or two. absolutely fantastic day on rabbits never had another day like it since
