    Very good looking team of dogs, in great order! Bit of Airedale in one of them?

    Winter here is pretty cold and most foxes are to ground in dens, log piles or hollow trees when its cold, wet and heavy frosts. We get snow here in Central Vic on the ranges around us.

    A good little bitch that worked hard and was also a great little dog around the place. Gave a fair few of her pups to hunting homes and they have all gone on to be adequate workers above and below ground.

    They have a fairly impressive boss, would take a bit to get through? Does it get so big to impair their vision? How old would this buff be? How do you rate your Merkel, What calibre?

    I guess its what you are used to, we don't worry about them really. You leave them alone they leave you alone pretty much and as I said I haven't lost a dog to snakes hunting foxes. But they do scare the crap out of you when you run into one!!

    Never thought much about spiders so I guess on the east coast or in the tropics it could be an issue in those areas, have had a young dog bitten by a white tail spider that caused her some grief not a deadly spider but caused a bad reaction, snakes on the other hand are a real worry so from about September/October through to April it is (for me anyway) a time for dogs to rest up and do above ground hunting away from creeks and swamps where snakes hang about, chasing frogs and small mammals. The tiger snake is a bad snake as very aggressive and highly venomous, this fella was about 3 or so fe

    A few pics from last weekend got a few and had a good weekend hunting, hounds worked well and had some good long runs. A couple of good ones in a den, a tree and a pile of timber

    State forests and game reserves you need a hunting permit, private land a hunting permit and a permission to hunt letter from owner or manager of the land

    Plenty of good properties just need to do the right thing like all hunting and I find if hunting foxes people especially sheep cockies are good once you prove yourself or have good references, same every where I would think. Apache we have the hunt club here this weekend so will put some pics up next week.

    a bit of both plenty of terriers about doing den work and a lot of spotlighting and running dogs as well, fox a not native here and are classed as vermin, we have a lot of problems with them at lambing time. Numbers are very high we have approx. 50,000 Ha of state park and small hobby farmer/greenies adjoining and or near us so we have a big number travelling through. So it is all out control no letting them run. A $10 bounty is in place here so a lot of road runner shooters about as well. We hunt the place with teams through the creeks and swamps and I have JR and a couple of Borde

    We keep all our dog in raised kennel here in Australia. Summer to protect them from snakes, mainly Tiger snakes here they are very aggressive and deadly. We mow the grass down for quite a way around the kennels and keep poultry as they tend to get in under any bushes around the kennels and scratch around, snakes don't like a lot of movement. Also in summer it gets to 45 plus Celsius in summer so a raised kennel helps with air flow. Ours are made so we can move them around, so in summer under the trees and in winter out to take advantage of the winter sun. We keep the kennel in the pen full of

    this contraption may be great in Australia bud for your rabbits but it looks clumsy,the lad wants to Bolt some rats for his dogs not deliberately kill them all down the holes. And he certainly don't won't to be using poisons around his Dogs normal fumes can be bad enough,horses for courses bud. 2 stoke still saws et. Are tried and tested methods and can be chucked about a bit no f.,,ing on adding this and that. All the same good luck with your methods down under atb Keith j. thanks for your input mate was only offering a bit of help. The poison is put in after you smoke the holes11 So you d

    Mate we use 4 stroke motors on our fumigators for rabbit control, so to get smoke get a tank of oil and set it up to drip onto/into the exhaust, ours has a hole drilled into the exhaust with a hose running from the oil tank to exhaust. This creates a heap of smoke and is easy to regulate, ie more smoke turn the tap on more, we use the smoke to find all the holes then turn on the poison which takes care of the rabbits. Hope this makes sense. Here in Australia they are vermin and are in huge numbers at times so control is not only necessary but is a legal requirement enforced heavily by Govt ag

    Good on you for your thoughts for all over there and I'll add here in Australia with bad fires this summer. Cheers

    hey guys and girls just a quick question what do you all prefur a terrier to stay and be dug or bolt a fox to awaiting guns????? i know i would rather my terriers bolt a fox to the awaiting guns and with good reason to we can get a lot more ground done in a day and if we have to dig it just takes up to much time and that means less foxes we get to shoot.. cheers revmx A lot of fellas in Australia want a dog to go in for 5 or 10 minutes, stir the shit out of the fox then come out. They sit back from the den and when the fox bolts it's either shot or runners get them. Way different I

    Hi Mate what does the Wheaton bring to the Arab and vise versa. Did you work pure Arabs? Nice pigs Qld or NSW? Few blokes here using Airedales in stags they go hard. Cheers

    I can only comment on the situation here in Australia, Borders I find are more laid back than the JR's I have had around the house and farm, but both are good breeds and a good dog can't be a bad colour or breed it's what you want in a dog in your team. I have 5 Border bitch's here as well as others that I have given out to mates and like all breeds (I think) range from super hard to more a bayer, but all mine stay and do the job well enough for me and that’s all that really matters! We have had some good times with them and in Australia working kennels of Borders are not common, JRT, Patterd
