Couple Of Pics Of The Dog

[Arrowdane 4]

Not sure if this is really the right section as my boy isn't a lurcher or a sighthound - however I do use him for the same purpose as some people use the above. He runs down a rabbit pretty well & although he might not have the endurance of some of the dogs here I reckon he does OK in the Aussie climate & over our terrain.

 

Waiting for bunnies to pop up

 

Looking handsome

 

On the run

Whippet cross?

Haha nope he's a Dane, the pics are deceiving in making him appear smaller than he really is, his working weight is 58kg

I know you might think its pretty funny that I use a Dane to hunt but you would actually be surprised at how good he is considering. Despite his size he actually is good at turning, stopping etc. We have very little choice in Australia as to what we hunt with, most breeders would never sell a dog into a hunting home and I don't fancy lying through my teeth to get a dog that's bred for the bench. Most dogs used in my part of the world are 35kg-60kg in weight so he's nothing unusual here.

 

He comes out regularly with us and always does his fair share of the work without fail. I'm happy to say only two rabbits have ever outrun him. Not only can he hunt rabbits, he will also catch and hold boar, bring down a kangaroo or emu and does a pretty good job on foxes and wild dogs too.

 

We also have a young dane bitch pup that's just starting to work and she is getting the hang of things, should turn out to be a nice little dog too

 

As previously mentioned if you think the thread doesn't belong here, feel free to move it elsewhere. I did state that he is not a lurched not sight hound, however as he is used for the same tasks as the aforementioned I thought it the more fitting forum.
