Aussie Whip 4,090 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Had a brindle dog useless on rabbits,caught and killed a couple of foxes,would not stop chasing roos,. knocked out twice by these.Really soft feet, would bleed every time out.Very fast and loyal,great guard dog at home,but would trip over its own feet when ferreting. 1 Quote Link to post

neil b 2,295 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 First running dog I had, broke to ferrets no probs had a few rabbits with her, the older she got the more injuries she picked up her back feet ended up almost flat, she saw her days out with my parents curled up by the fire.

BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Ran a big strong bitch in the early 1980s - killed lots of foxes with her. But she would run anything that moved and in the middle of sheep country it was always going to go tits up. Couldn't fault her fire and determination but she had no wind and was easily injured. Good fun though! Quote Link to post

Great with kids too. But hated cats. I'd have another any day 1 Quote Link to post

The worker was an young failed track bitch from ireland. no good on the track but a bit of a demon in the field. And the pet was an old dog so i duno if he just couldnt be arsed wasnt botherd by the sheep he seemd to have plenty of life in him, he just stayed well clear of them. 1 Quote Link to post
