You need a big dog to catch big game day after day. Work for 200 years?, they must be 63/64ths saluki, half a scabby pitta bread and a hollow toothful of scavenged beetles and there's carcasses akimbo enough to feed every clan from lands end to walkabout creek Quote Link to post

Yes and no, you do need a dog with a bit of size and strength but the best I’ve seen on big game have been in the 25- 27” range & no heavier than 70lbs 1 Quote Link to post

That's around the height and weight of an average staghound, some bigger, some smaller depending on the game hunted. I had a ginger dog that was around 30 inches and 100lb and he was the second smallest in the litter. The old guy used them on roos daily and preferred the bigger dogs. Quote Link to post
