Australian Kangaroo dog

[DiStuRBeD 0]

hi all

 

got a new roodog pup here, from a long line of roodogs/staghounds in western australia, bred for working ability.

 

hes a good size, hoping he will be as big as his dad, 31inches to the shoulder, long in body, hit like a train type of dog

 

has a nice long face, good attitude, im wrapped with him. one of the pics his legs look weird, but that is just the pic

Great looking pup!

You must tell about Roodogs and running Kangaroos. I have heard about them but was not sure if they still exist. How is it done? Can you descibe a good hunt?

 

I live in Western US. We us Staghounds and Coldblood greyhounds to hunt Coyotes with. I am sure the thrill is similar.

Please keep us informed as its progress.

Gday fellas

 

yes he will be a big boy, dads 31 to the shoulder, and nice and racey and long, if you do a search on here for topics by Hairybull you will see the mum and dad, dad is blade, mum is maggie

 

colour is saluki for sure, but he gonna be bigger then any saluki thats probably ever existed

 

not a great deal of roodogs/staghounds about but they work still

Is it true that some strain of Roo's can get to 7 foot high? What sort of weight do they get to and do dog's get injured very often? Sound's like an interesting sport P.S. That pup is a beuty.

Looks a big strong pup mate, he has some feet and legs on him whats in his make up roughly mate? hes gonna be a big c??t

[DiStuRBeD 0]

makeup would consist of deerhound, wolfhound, greyhound, saluki and likely great dane a long time back

 

they have been bred for 3 human generations going by what a old fella said about them, so the line could be 100 years old or more

 

as for roos yes there are some monsters out there

Some roos

These were shot on a culling licence.

a roo will carve up a dog if given a chance strong legs with sharp claws iv even heard of roos drowning dogs when they jump in a dams and then grab the dog in it, it dosnt happen much a few sratches evry now and agian but it only takes one roo to kill a dog so i personaly try and stay away from big fellas

[DiStuRBeD 0]

not always the big fellas that will do ya dog in but, the smaller ones have much sharper nails, liek a sharp elongated pyramid type toe, all the roos strength is usually in their kick unless you meet a old boy, then their forearms can be much bigger then a mans and all solid muscle
