    The brownish dog is a stag. Grey x deerhound type make up. He is a very very good hog dog. Will use his nose to find pigs, great eyesight, extremely hard dog - no pig to big for his hardness. He is my lead pig dog. The black dog is a young dog named Lapua. Her back ground consists of wolfhound, deerhound, and mastiff. I have two other litter mates to Lapua. Lapua has a good nose, good hunting characteristics - constant got her nose to the ground and actively hunting out to 4 to 500 yards. She is gonna be an exceptional finder holder as far as finder holder type dogs g

    Took 4 deer hunters out with me for thir first hog dogging adventure after they wrapped up their days deer hunt on opening weekend of deer season. The two dogs did pretty well. The pictures are of the first pig we caught. The dogs found and caught the pig quite a ways from us. The run on foot to the catch was pretty grueling for us but more so on some than others lol. I was the first on scene and took several pictures before some of the other guys made it to the catch. Two of the guys that night got to trade in their deer rifles for a big knife and got up close and pe

    Trying to upload better pictures of the pups but having a little trouble. The two light colored pups are the two males I kept for myself. The blue brindle is the female I kept back for another gentlman

    I had 12 pups from that litter. They threw all over the board. A few looked like slick haired stags, some looked like rough coated stags some threw to the wolfhound look. I was very pleased with the bone all the pups seemed to have. I kept two of the slick stag looking males for myself and am keeping 1 rough coated female for another gentlman and am going to start her for him.

    Haven't been hunting my good gyp for a few months do to a breeding that didn't take but was hopeful and put her up as if it did. Brought her back out and started hunting her again since she didn't take. Took her out twice this past week and caught two pigs with her. First time I run a pit in behind her as backup . The wind was wrong for the dogs to smell the pigs so i wound up walking the dogs up fairly close to the pigs. She run a decent little boar down through the grassy cactus flat, took longer than normal but dogs did well avoiding the cactus. Next hunt I left the pit a

    Hello! Hope you continue to get get better and recover after you great loss!

    No unless you have decided to keep a buck as a pet and raised it from a fawn. In these circumstances where people are around tame bucks during rut, they can get kinda onry towards people when they go up to pet them. Doe are not near as bad as bucks for being jerks during this time. Individual deer are different t and have different temperaments though. During the rut, bucks are up on their feet cruising for hot doe and in high density areas pose a problem for motorists hitting the deer. That's the big problem with them where i live. Lots of bucks get hit by cars during the r

    I don't know. I think they are slightly lighter than elk. What does an elk weigh? I don't know haha

    As a matter of fact I am. One of the consultants walked to the edge of the pad and took those pictures with a good camera and sent them to a few of us boys. He takes lots of nice pictures. He likes for the night crew to wake him up when the northern lights are dancing accross the sky so he can take pictures.

    Last hitch we had a bachelor group of mature bulls that like to hang around the rig. Those were the two most impressive bulls in the group.

    Just curious but why is the boxer blood added? Many moons ago I spent a few months doing a lot of pighunting in New Zealand and some of the guys I went out with had a right old mishmash of different dogs. They'd give anything a chance and if it contributed anything useful it would be added to the team. They couldn't give a stuff how it was bred if it did the job. About that time I used to read a lot of books on NZ pighunting and I remember one (by Philip Holden I think) in which much the same philosophy was advocated. It talked about some bloke who used to go to the local dog pound and tak

    Couple of mine will only wade ankle deep in water to cool off and a couple don't mind swimming. I usually take them swimming in the creeks fairly often during the summer to get them used to swimming and learn how to swim effectively and efficiently because pigs if under pressure will often try to run to water.. The water is a dangerous place to catch big boars for several reasons. If your dog is relaxed and can swim properly without lifting its front legs up out of the water, it is much better off. My stag doesn't swim well. He is not relaxed at all when in water up t

    [q name=Gaz_1989" post="4004487" timestamp="1439115434] Just curious but why is the boxer blood added? I didn't breed this line of dogs so i don't know why the man added it for certain, but I've heard that a boxers have the makings of good finder holder abilities, at least those than can breath right and don't have such a severe over bite. I do not have any first hand experience with boxers though. I do know out of all the breeds of dogs that the Boxer has the most bullenbiesser blood in it. Close second is the Dane. Makes sense to me lol.

    Wolfhound, Deerhound, Dane, Boxer, aka "pig dog" This is my Lapua gyp, 11 months old. She has been an exceptional pup and a natural talent. Great hunt drive and very hard dog when it comes to catching and holding pigs. She is very fluent mover and covers a lot of ground with her big strides.

    If I was to guess, I would say the dog came from the local Rspca. Ain't that about how their "rescued" pets look like after a couple months in their care?

    Rspca

    I just discovered this thread yeasterday and have been reading through all of it. I got so pissed when reading it, I give myself a headache. These jerks are just as currupt here in the states as they are over seas. I've read lots of complaints about them doing working dog owners dirty. It amazes me how currupt this organization is. The puplic is very oblivious to it and the propaganda this organization uses to play on the emotions of the public sickens me. These people love to show pets in distress and in tiny cages while in their care. I've often wondered why the public think

    If it were me I would start by correcting the excited behavior while the dog is on the lead. Whether the dog is waiting it's turn to run or is just having to watch a rabbit run because you didn't release it. Work on the dogs manners and behavior while it's on the lead and do not slip it untill the behaves itself. To do this, you will need to get the dogs attention, not just wait for it to calm down. If you start bumping rabbits and the dog waits for you to release it like a gentlmen, then let it go. If it whines then correct the dog and do not turn it loose. If it spins, co

    I was unable to see the video but by the way you describe it and what I read at the bottom of the link page, it's common. Growing up on a large ranch in Texas coupled with my passion for the outdoors allowed me to see this play out in a lot of different species. Cattle will do it, especially bulls in the bull pasture. It's extremely common in wild turkey and I've seen it a lot in chickens. I've seen it a few times in wild pigs. Every time I have seen this has involved only the males of the species that took it to the extremes except in fish. I've seen several videos of
