Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 My old red bitch was the best dog I've had to date. Had to have her PTS last summer. Didn't get her from a pup and took a lot of time getting her right. She had never seen the lamp, it was all new to her. But once it clicked, it clicked. Had some good fun with her. No world beater but a real all rounder. Jack of all trades. Master of none... 8 Quote Link to post
Red Center 165 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Bullarab x bullmastiff, first hunting dog I ever owned at 14 years old. He was a big strong dog, good nose, hard on a pig with no back down in him and once he got a hold there was no pig going anywhere. Caught some very big pigs with him until the family moved up to Arnhem Land for a couple months and he chased a pig into a river and got taken by a croc right in front of me. Just about broke my heart, he was only 3. Have never seen a dog since that could be so physical and aggressive when hunting and then be an absolute teddy bear with other pets, stock, small children etc bloody hell mate, was there no way you could save him,? did the croc just take him under and down deep. but suppose its the country you live in and crocs/snakes are part of it ,you have to just learn to live with the risks then , still a heart breaker to see more so as you say if a very good dog. Yeah I saw the croc come up and grab him and it just took him straight under. I went to the car and got my Dad's gun and waited for that croc for around 4 hrs but I never saw it. Where I lived at the time has no crocs, it was just the place we were for those few months. I saw the pig go in and screamed for him to stop and come back coz I knew there were crocs in that river but he was too keen on getting the pig and went in after it 1 Quote Link to post

jcm 2,327 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Has to be my current dog, cracking little dog for fur and feather. Keeps me happy. I have been doing more with the pup this season than this dog until last week when I decided to take him for a nights lamping and he just reminded me why I like him so much, he catches more than he misses retrieves rabbits back to me if he misses he is straight back to me and I can lamp him without a slip on no matter how far he hunts a quick whistle and he is on his way back even if he is out of sight 5 Quote Link to post
