We do have the Oz staghound which due to being bred almost exclusively for hunting the bush here and naturally culled for a couple of hundred years is a very capable dog on all game and needs next to no training for this. This breed is getting hard to find in it's pure form here now with pig hunters putting other breeds in. It's a shame because this dog has been feeding us here since the first white settlement. I've seen people try to recreate the breed with deerhound/greys and are good dogs but they don't have the inherited bush sense of the stag. 1 Quote Link to post

One stage I was working them 4 days a week and was too much. I think two or three days a week hunting is plenty for the little runners. Quote Link to post
