Think 70% of the pigdogs here have some sort of longdog in them, the longdog (roodog/staghound) have been hunting rough rocky brush and bush areas for hundreds of yrs on faster game than pigs, ground is rarely a problem for the runners here any more than other breeds Yes mate the ones I seen did have long dog but were more bully then long dog would of loved too bring back some pups from a mate of mine in quensland they were dogs that impressed me for the size they were seen them run on Roos and pigs they were not the fastest of dogs I've ever seen but bye god they would tackle lions if

was that in oz buddy what about that cross in texas i reakon there is not much choice out there if there is why arnt they using any ? Yea mate was in Oz and yea I think they do the yanks take it as serious as us when it comes too dogs and the one thing u got too remember is the heat out there and I think it will differ from state too state the dogs they use and that is only one family there will be loads out there some of the USA boys can prob say more on the subject

The kinda breeds that I was shown while out there were half cross bull grey back too there bull crosses and some of them had collie kelpie and a few staghound cross but most of them were more bit bull type dogs so I think alot of them would say why change some thing that works

Try fox tail ud be surprised how much a skin will go for a smelly job though
-
Mate can't help ya on the skin thing but on dry dog food I have tried beta greyhound and chudleys greyhound and they both work well and I have one dog that does alot better on a cheaper dry food and on the house training I use a water pistol on myne if they try and do it while Iam in but what I do with a pup is every time it gets up too drink or starts walking about like it's looking for some thing too do straight outside and I keep doing it and I also say a command when it is pissing like peepee and give praise after sounds gay I know but I've got one dog that will start pissing any where if

Mate I have a prtty similar cross my self but the sire was a dhxgyxsal and dam was whipxbed very good for the permission I have they are not the quickest off the Mark and there not speed demons like a whippet but they can shift and run all nightI can have good nights lamping or a walk in the daytime on big eared rabbits there not what I'd call a great bushing dog though skin is not as tuff as it looks there retrieving is good but prey drive can be abit too much some times as soon as they see some thing moving they can have that saluki trait of not giving a f**k what u say but all and all grea

Mate if this is ur first tatto it might be wise too find a tattooist that can do the kinda work u won't and get him too make u ur own design best way I've found with tattooist is too give them a pic of the real thing and get them too make it fit you in the way u won't it too look cos once it's on it's on for life the hardest thing you will find is finding a tattooist that is very good at dog portrait tattoos

-
K sorry I may not have gave use the right idea on this the reason Iam using this set up is cos the new kennel has yet too be built and the dog has over 20 feet length of chain on slabs I have a kennel set up all rdy for the lurchers but they got on with my last dog so could all be housed together but the new dog is a cocker pup and I don't trust my lurchers just yet with such a small dog so this is a temp situation and I have tried the swivels on either end of the chain the problem is if u know what cockers are like they keep going round in circles when ever u walk past has any one used any th

best country for terriermen.....
BIGLURKS replied to CarraghsGem's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Oz or Nz lived in both countries u can do as much hunting in these places as u like plus if u move too Oz I'd suggest farm work on cattle station or sheep station or some thing in the bush land great way too get a house when u move and the folk that live in the bush land are not like city dicks there always a helping hand just don't go too far north in Oz -
The best thing I've found too work is a light force lance or striker or some thing like them then use a cluelite battery pack and splice the wire at the end of the lamp were the cigarete connector is and connect a cluelite connector sorted great lamp and battery backs that come in all sizes and are pretty tough and the connector does not fall out every 2 mins
