    I’ve hunted pigs. Not as many as some on here and certainly not as much as toolebox. But have hunted them in three countries, all with catch dogs. Also have some very good mates who cross back and fore between nz and here a lot, hunting, and bringing dogs back and fore. Ive never paid for a boar hunt and I’ve never carried a gun on one. I’ve stuck them, and I’ve carried them up god awful hills. There is a massive difference between the Danes you see here and the ones that hve made the grade in the antipodes for pig hunting. They get jackers to. Obviously. But there are some

    You’ve never hunted pigs have you ? Trust me when the dog didn’t accidentally run into a tree, the pig didn’t accidentally fall over on top of the dog. It got in front of the pig and took hold and the pig manouvered itself into a position where it could repeatedly slam the dog that was attached to it into the tree until the dog was pulp. To me a dog that is game in a hubting sense is one that will go head first into a bigger, harder oponant that wants to kill it, without a thought to self preservation.

    Hve you actually hunted any pigs with dogs cos you speak with an authority which suggests you hve real world experience? Genuine question.

    Plenty of lads use Danes and Dane xs in oz, most of the Americans seem to hunt mob handed with dogs. There is a real good dog called horse who is mostly Dane who would Have caught 100s of good big pigs single handed and taken plenty of punishment.
  6. SheepChaser
    Yes I did. You made a few statements based on little knowledge from what I can see. 1 - pig dogs that get killed tend to get killed quick from the pig hitting a major blood vessel with a cutter. Ie it’s just bad luck. When in reality plenty of pig dogs and bashed to death, bones broken, lungs punctured etc. A dog died recently from being pile driven into a tree from being in the wrong place on the wrong pig. 2 - Danes and Dane xs catching pigs in oz are not game. Obviously it’s debatable if any dog out side of dog fighting circles can be classed as ‘game’ but if we are using the word

    I like him to be fair. He is consistent and sticks to his guns!

    How many pigs have you hunted with dogs out of interest mate ? Can only die from a super quick cut of a main artery ? they not get bashed to a pulp ever then ? ? No Dane blooded dog is game ?? None of the Aussie pig dogs with Dane blood are game ? ?

    You’ve got this class moron thing really well honed now mate. Like a one trick pony ? and no one wants to argue with you because you’re tedious as f*ck ?
  10. SheepChaser
    I wouldn’t worry too much mate, great answer, but you’re arguing with folk on THL. There is a long pedigree on here of people being experts on hunting a quarry they have never hunted, with dogs they have never seen, in a country they’ve never been to. They are right though, for deffo.

    Yer I kind of forgot you were in Spain ? I’m tired ! But that sounds like monumental hassle and pretty unfair really
  17. SheepChaser
    I don’t have any ? I’m bringing Johnnyboys kids to the comp mate. I just had a brain freeze and thought you were going ?
  18. SheepChaser
    Hang on just realised you live in Spain sorry ?
  19. SheepChaser
    I wouldn’t worry too much mate, but the kids an ice cream ?

    Will have four smaller humans of a variety of sizes with me..... well five if you include Wales12355678910

    Looks like I am going. Not fishing though I don’t think, just drinking beer and heckling.
  22. SheepChaser
    Ah right I thought you meant have three seasons by 12 months ?
  23. SheepChaser
    Also if that’s an attempted dig at me for only having one make retirement, trust me as hardy as your dogs are, dead is dead.
  24. SheepChaser
    However hardy a dog is, it can still get knocked about. That’s just life. Some dogs are lucky and some are not. Obviously some dogs use their heads more or are structurally sounder or whatever, but if you slap your paw down on a big sharp bit of flint while you’re motoring get stamped on / kicked badly, it’s going to have repercussions. As to the last sentence ..... I don’t have a clue what you’re saying ? ?
  25. SheepChaser
    I know it can be an issue but up till now not had a problem. On the subject of working career I would be very happy if I could manage to graft a dog hard for several seasons and not pick up a few injuries which slow it down etc. Nearly all of the dogs I’ve met that hve had a good career aren’t exactly in pristine nick ?
