Hi lads (chonas ta tu) How are you! I have been hearing of lads in my area using ridgeback crosses on all quarry and I was just wondering how they would differ to bull crosses in the field. What could one do better than the other etc??

Great link I said id quote this particular part of the link for those that doubt the prey drive and say the ridge dosent attack the quarry.

 

 

Foxes: Although they are not as fast as my usual fox hunting dogs, (deerhounds and wolfhound/greyhound crosses), the Ridgeback has a lot better sense of smell and far greater staying power.

These dogs will easily dispatch foxes and we have used them to guard fowl yards and bird aviaries at night.

 

 

 

Feral Pigs: The Ridgeback makes a very handy pig dog. A single Ridgeback will find and hold pigs up to around the 40-50 kg mark. Pigs larger than that will usually be bailed up and the dog will keep barking and wait for assistance from either the hunter or another dog. Two mature, well trained Ridgebacks will however hold even the largest of boars without much trouble.
