p3d 879 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 This series has started on Sky. Episode 1 was an excellent example of working dogs around the word. The guy in New Zealand hunting Wild Bulls in the forest is class. Has two types of dogs, herding and holding, fantastic control of both groups of dogs until he wants them to work. Saluki running dogs and the breeders in that area of the world. Huskies and sled dogs, fantastic tough dogs that are being studied for their stamina. Worth a look IMO, hopefully more on hunting in episode 2 4 Quote Link to post
Themole 323 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Sounds like it's well worth a look Quote Link to post
Corkman 944 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) And there I thought you were on about fells again. ? Experienced the sled dogs up at the Artic Circle and pig dogs in Oz years back. They had the tufters kelpie X for scenting and heavy Luggers for holding. Some craic out in the outback at night trying to figure out what is looking back at you???? ? Edited April 21, 2017 by Corkman 3 Quote Link to post

p3d 879 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 And there I thought you were on about fella again. Experienced the sled dogs up at the Artic Circle and pig dogs in Oz years back. They had the tufters kelpie X for scenting and heavy Luggers for holding. Some craic out in the outback at night trying to figure out what is looking back at you???? Nah, give the pedigrees a skip for now The real sled dogs look nothing like huskies, rough looking harrier / collie crossbred types. But they can travel great distances. Quote Link to post

The real sled dogs ARE the huskies. Husky being an Inuit word for local village dog. There is no breed, as such, as a Husky. What you meant are the Spitz and Malamutes etc. They mustn't have explained this too well in the show. 1 Quote Link to post
jiggy 3,209 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 The village dog must of become a pure breed after 3000 years of line breeding. Surely if a patterdale became a pure breed within 30 years and only 9 generations. 1 Quote Link to post

Surely if a patterdale became a pure breed within 30 years and only 9 generations. I'm not sure what you mean. No body said that the village dog has become pure. You're putting words in my mouth. I'll try and explain my post as simple as possible. There is no breed of dog called a Husky. Husky is a native Inuit word for a village cur. OK ? The breeds of dogs known as Spitz and Malamute's are Kennel Club recognized but are not what Mushers use nowadays .OK ? The dogs used nowadays by Mushers are usually crossbreeds with Collie and Pointer amongst others in their make up. OK ? You're obviously looking to start an arguement with me just because I pointed out P3d's rookie mistake dispite his and Corkmans under lying tones, which you obviously picked up on because you wouldn't have tried to contradict me anyway. I'd have thought Corkman would have pointed out these things to P3d as he's obviously got more sled dog experience than any of us. And before you point out the obvious. I only know these facts from documentaries and books as like the rest of yous I have never driven a team of sled dogs. Also, what the f**k has this got to do with those lads who've had families of black terriers long enough that they're breeding to type ?????? Explain ? Quote Link to post

Cooney being an inuit word for local village idiot If you read my post I said "Huskies AND Sled dogs" Sled dogs are worked by Canadians, Russians, Americans, etc...........not just the Inuit. The show explained it very well. Now go away and spoil another post. 3 Quote Link to post

Explain ? why the f**k when somebody puts up an interesting thread do you have to tear strips off it and I didn't say anything about the lads that keep black terriers I said PURE BREED PATTERDALES. Quit the bullying ever time you speak down to people you just lose a little bit more respect. 3 Quote Link to post
