  1. My Russell bitch never makes a sound except when guarding the house, also my male Parson is silent when hunting, it's the only time he's quiet, lol. I think either of these crossed with a whippet wouldn't yap so maybe pick a quiet terrier for the cross?
  2. I wonder if anyone saw Mothman around when it collapsed .
  3. Typical Greenkeeper .After cutting a few thousand acres of grass you tend to get like that .
  4. It's very impressive, I had budgies and finches when I was young but you are on another level with yours, I've always had fowl. A lot of hunters over here keep birds and fowl too, proves hunters are genuine animal people and conservationists and would know more about animal welfare than the fwit antis who live in fantasy land.
  5. You go to a lot of trouble for your birds Banger. Interesting and good on you .
  6. Why do they call abbos boongs? it's the sound they make when they hit the bullbar on the Land Cruiser. The difference between abbos and dog shit? dog shit turns white after a few days and doesn't stink. Why did the abbo bride wear no knickers to her wedding? to keep the flies off the cake. Sorry to any indigenous reading
  7. That's in Vic for sure. Up NSW it would be one guy on the jack hammer and the rest under a tree smoking billies and drinking rum. Forgot about the one guy shooting snakes with the 410.
  8. I don't like shooting anything really but I think there is something special about hares and they deserve at least a sporting chance to outrun or outwit the dogs. Spotlight shooting them is such a waste.
  9. Sheep farmers over here shoot Wedge tailed eagles. I think they forget the eagles control the rabbits and foxes as well as young roos apart from them being awesome creatures. They take the odd lamb but mostly clean up the dead carcasses and vermin. I nearly lost a Russell pup to one but I still wouldn't shoot an eagle.
  10. I'd go to the vets, it's worth the pup getting a heart and general health check at the same time.
  11. Where I am now you rarely see a hare, I only have 24 acres but get rabbits, deer and heaps of pigs come through, you have to watch walking the Parsons through the place in the early morning. The hare area was around Wellington between Dubbo and Orange. Hardly anyone uses dogs on them, it's all pig and fox hunting so a good spot if you like the hares.
  12. They're imported, I've never really considered them a pest like rabbits. They must have imported them to hunt, I'll have to look into that.
  13. Yeah just with a .22 rimfire and fed most of them to the property owners half starved kelpies after he told me to just leave them in the field to rot. Where I used to live you would see literally hundreds of hares in the 5km drive to town at night, there were zero rabbits in the area.
  14. When I was young, even though I always loved my dogs they had to do their bit and old ones and inferior ones couldn't. My dogs now are like my family to me, be they old or young. I think I admire the loyalty now more than ability and because they are with me 24/7 the bond with them is the strongest ever. A guy offered to buy my grew off me the other week and I said, would you part with one of your kids? fck off. That's how I feel now.
  15. Just picked one of the biggest breeds used on pigs here.
  16. I haven't heard that one, as you know they eat anything but I think they'd have trouble catching dogs.
  17. I've heard of a lot of pig dogs being taken up North when the pig enters a creek to escape the dogs, the commotion attracts the crocs and even a Boerboel is just a snack to them. I think feral dogs make up a big part of their diet and heaps of pet dogs taken when people are fishing.
