wmd 1 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Jigsaw It's taken a lot of work to keep them of the local wild life , stock proofing a dog is easy compared to roo proofing . I have them real good but it would not take much for them to be encouraged . They seem to have a come and catch me run to them lol and have a habit of jumping out straight in front of the dogs witch will tempt the best of dog. Dogs like Irma have been bread for generations to hunt Roos , the fella I got her from had a chiller box to keep the roo meat so he could feed all his dogs. It's illegal but out in the back blocks no one cares as they are a pest to the farmers . Big Roos with kick the buggery out of a dog I have seen k9s snapped off and gashes in dogs 300mm long from there big sharp toenails . The old feller down the road talks about it before it was illegal saying... once the dog leans how to handle the roo ,a good dog will tip them over braking there neck thus avoiding the feet. each to there own , and I choose to keep my dogs away from them. As for putting it on the table it happens at times but I would rather eat rabbit or venison as wild meat . cheers Quote Link to post

I was with a bloke tonight that had a roodog that made my 29inch roodog X look like a whippet! I estimate it at being about 34 inches. I love the taller dogs for chasing game out on the 400+ acre paddocks I hunt. Having that extra leg really helps on the big slips. Quote Link to post
