That was hard work trying to get him free from it.. You are right it's horrible stuff. Over here that accounts for a lot of dead roos,around me you won't go 100m without seeing a chewed off roo leg still in the fence.No getting out of that. Quote Link to post

Brutal, seen a fair few deer over the years hung up in fences. What’s chewing the Roos legs off? Dingos? Quote Link to post

My point was the diversity of different land , what dog can do it all, i had a saluki whippet that was brilliant on woodland work, i wont say coursing because its intermittent short dangerous runs, that gave me near bloody heart attacks watching her she was 23tts weighing in at 32lbs could turn on a six pence, but she was no hare dog only ever caught a couple.But to get a dog to run all types of land requires a variation in size and weight in my opinion.

Yeah,I've seen them do it,I've tried to save rarer type wallabies from it but they usually have bone sticking out so it's kinder to put down.Horrible death for them,they could be stuck for days.
