stevemac 433 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 no challenge for a running dog you can muster them with a collie or kelpie. in high country the billies will sometimes try to nock a dog from a cliff. steve Quote Link to post

jigsaw 11,863 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 I ferk about with them all the time but the dogs broken to sheep and wont under any circumstances chase them.I had a big billy shot last november and in its last gasp for life battered the shit out of my kelpie X.She realised shed met her match and leged it.To be truthfull it would be a messy affair as theyre not at all as easy as deer,theyre a tough bugger and it would be a long drawn out battle I think,but I DONT KNOW AS I NEVER TRIED IT, Theyre as strong as hell and even the bigest bull/lurcher would be draged about a fair bit by them and the owner would not have the stamina to cover the rugged ground at speed to intervene.Just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to post

Bring your dogs up among domestic stock of all types first, and you wont have any issues at all. Some f*****g armchair hunters on ere Quote Link to post
jigsaw 11,863 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 would you reckon theres a difference between the smell of a domestic goat and a ferral goats then DOGS&NATIVES?my dogs are stock broken to all farm animals but I still think youd be threading on dangerous ground leaving your dog get stuck into goats,then walk about a scatty herd of hill sheep runing all over the place.As for an arm chair hunter,Im certainly not that.Been a busy man all over x mass,lol. 1 Quote Link to post
