PIGDOGS 1 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 There is a youtube clip of hunting pigs with dogs and the guys says the dogs are border collie crosses. No wind up. I reckon a dog would wise up after some experience. Your right about that mate , a dog dosnt take long to get boar wise ! There r loads of collies and collie crosses used in nz .

k99yle 53 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 it would have to be a very obiedent dog if not its going to be a dead one if your only using a collie mate. HOWS THAT MATE ???? Because your 18 year's experience Pigdogs obviously counts for f**k all. If you ever need to know anything about hunting pigs with dogs ask the Judge. I bet he's done much more pig hunting than you and your pathetic 18 years!! Hey Judge, how much pig hunting have you done to know more than a pig hunting guy from New Zealand? now you get it. pigdogs, if a collie gets to close to a wild boar not a feral pig its going to be beheaded mate. But you know more then me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ned Makim 116 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 well ive worked and seen lots of sheep dogs in the uk, very very few iu would even consider trying to work boar with. ive also shot and flushed boar... again none of them i would expect any of my collies to work. send a collie round any boar in our countryside and you will soon wind up in a situation of not alot of stock fencing left.... a wild ass collie disaperaing into large areas of woodland.... and some very pissed off local famers. if your going to flush these things with dogs you want strong quick dogs that wil slow them up rapidly. ive also been round domestic/semi wild pigs, none of which have ever reacted to a collie like sheep or cattle do. still if your going to try it, take some pics id love to see it.... id also be intrested in the dogs for furture breeding stock... if they can eye boar then they will shift cattle. Appreciate your commenting from your experience and beliefs but sheep dogs are common if pigging crews in NZ and Oz and do the job easily. There isn't actually any debate about it. Get on an Oz of Kiwi pigging site and ask for some evidence and you'll get hundreds, if not thousands of pix of good boars bailed by sheep dogs. It's not my way of hunting, my dogs don't bail, so I have no particular barrow to push but it is just a fact. Sheep dogs will stop boars no probs. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ned Makim 116 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'd be about about four or five hours from Surfers on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range. Let me know if you get back to Oz and we'll go and see if we can bump into a pig. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
