  1. Bit out of date now, lol, but means an idiot or clown, like the parrot (galah).
  2. Speak English, it's blaaaaardie galaaaaaaarh.
  3. They do the same here, I don't like killing animals and leaving them to waste. I don't know why they don't let a select group of responsible hunters in. It would cost them nothing. They did a survey here and it cost the gov thousands per rabbit using their control methods.
  4. Feral goats were my main source of dog meat when I lived near an old gold mining town, most caught with a little buckskin pit bitch. I can't find the pics but put them up on a thread here some time back.
  5. I think it's the hunting, predatory behavior that appeals.
  6. Are you sure the eyesight is 100%, as you probably know deafness and bad eyes go hand in hand. If so the dog should do alright lamping but ferreting may be testing.
  7. They're going to make top pest control dogs, good luck with them socks.
  8. We communicate in Aussie slang from the last century.
  9. I have a feeling you have decent dogs.
  10. I think quite a few right off young dogs that may become champs just by not giving them time, not all dogs mature at the same rate as with deerhound types and terriers too. I've been given a couple of so called failures over the years that turned out good animals.
  11. Also shite dogmen can ruin a great prospect and call the dog useless, these tossers go through a lot of dogs until they finally see they are the useless one. ?
  12. I agree worker to worker but I'm wondering if a straight pure bred running dog is crossed would the pups come out more running dog if crossed to a mongrel rather than another pure bred.
  13. I think most hunters on rabbits want fast dogs like the whippet or greyhound but prefer a sturdier dog with thicker skin, better coat to protect the animal. I know there are really good first cross running dogs but they do get half the other genes being from stock dogs, terriers, scent dogs and others. Could it be better to put a complete mongrel dog with hunting ability over a runner so that the pups inherit more of the sighthounds?
  14. Same here, just saying these things, even not meaning it, bores into your brain with the thought of being the ultimate dickhead, lol.
  15. Not as bad as furever homes and furbabies, lol.
  16. In some cases but I've ferreter properties and just gone and fed the working dogs on chains, because they were starving. I think it's a common theme.
  17. The heat tolerance maybe the only thing.
  18. Any likely mutt with not much heart can bail pigs.Even the little whippets will lug them.
  19. I'm not knocking your collies mate, I'm sure they are top dogs for the terrain and conditions you have and only seen some on vids and look hard as nails. It's dogs for jobs, so it's not fare to the great dogs to compare, same as lurchers. I'm not a farmer but do admire a good working animal for what it is.
  20. Plenty of blokes hunt hares here with lurchers, which are often labelled staghounds here as the word lurcher is not used much. You rarely see Saluki blooded dogs, only in the original Bull Arab pig dogs.
  21. With all the heat, sand and open spaces here you think Salukis would be popular but for some strange reason they barely exist ? lol.
