Australian Staghounds for sale.

[chartpolski 23,912]

A couple of staghounds advertised in Australia;

Very decent prices. I might have been interested at one time, but now the head rules the heart, not the other way round ! LOL !

Cheers.

The top one looks like the old type I remember as a kid.

They used to either gift staghound pups or sell them for around $50 Oz dollars, I think because nobody wanted one as a pet, which was good for the breed imo.

Distance is no object if it’s what you really want, but to be honest, importing one of those would just be a vanity project for me. There are plenty of types here that will do the job I need a dog for.

Like that first one.  What are staghounds do they breed to type or just a name for a deerhoundy lurcher

I’d say very much like our deer/greys but from lines that go way back, there’s probably the odd other type in them but they do seem to breed true to type, although you can get rough and smooth in the same litter and the smooth ones are called ‘roo hounds.

Im sure our Aussie members will have seen far more and know far more about them than I do.

Cheers.

I’ve imported two dogs from Australia and one from Saudi, but sadly none were running/working dogs.

Too late in my life to do it again but looking back I would have imported running dogs from Australia, America and the Middle East, I’ve had the opportunity but never took it.

Cheets.

As Charts says they were just deerhound greyhound crosses but they look a bit different, I think due to the breed evolving chasing weird game like roos over here. The old hunters didn't worry about finely tuned genetics, just breeding the best hunters. I doubt many lines are just straight deerhound greyhound, most have other blood from bull or mastiff as pigs are the main target here. If I was lost starving in the bush they are the dog I'd want with me as they can catch anything from rabbits to pigs.

There's two fellas on here who have imported Aussie stags. Can't remember their names.

One bloke used it for pigs,to which it was totally wedded. It looked to me to have some bull in it. The other fella had a litter out of a bitch he had imported. Think he was from Cumbria and a pest controller.

Just looked at import costs. You might get away with 3 thousand US dollars. Other estimates go up to 7500 dollars.

I'm going to telephone, keep him talking, kick a few tyres, lean on a few sticks, spit my baccy out, haggle a bit and then back out.
