  1. How come so many in a short time Lucky? You must give them some serious hammer?
  2. Must admit I prefer to get them about 7-8 weeks...
  3. We use an old petrol leaf blower and a converted chainsaw........
  4. Hi Tomo, We loved Perth but job opportunities were better in NSW although Adelaide has become an option. Thanks for the website i'll take a look. Don't think i'll become a copper though, unless I have a labotomy
  5. Maybe its just me but the pig looks like hes getting the upper hand
  6. Lurcherbitch they may not be pc but have you thought about using an electric collar? I think in this situation the collar would be kinder than the dog getting PTS when at some point it bogs off and finds a flock of sheep. I think they have a use in the hands of someone with an UNDERSTANDING of training.
  7. I've got a Nissan Navara, I can put the dogs in the back and keep the cab clean for the family. I drive mine pretty conservativly (spell) but still only get 26mpg. Its very comfy though and not too bad off road.
  8. As long as you read it with a pinch of salt.....about 4kilos its perhaps his best book..........
  9. The dogs future would depend on the reason for jacking...if its a physical injury then fair enough but if for example a lurcher has decided he doesn't like the sharp end after his 2nd, 10th, 50th fox then he isn't going to start catching them again....
  10. Do you really think its possible in the near future kiwi? Out of curiosity why is hunting safer in NZ?
  11. My dogs never catch enough to sell so a hard mouth doesn't bother me
  12. You wont beat a Plummer.......enough If Plummers were the best digging dogs then there would be more of them...fact....
  13. That could be a contribting factor Rich :whistle: Kye, I'd say leaving alone with nothing was pretty gutsy, I know I couldn't do it, glad it worked out so well
  14. Was that the first time he had heard a gun Jonno, if so thats pretty good.
  15. True Steve, if it was any other county We have the wolds, they have the great dividing range, we have Mablethorpe and Skegness, they have the Gold coast, we have the fens, they have the outback..........i'll get me coat
  16. I had a Plummer bitch years ago, she bolted lots of foxes from the pipes in the local ironworks but these were straight in and out affairs so she was never tested with a fox in a stop end. If I were after a digging dog I wouldn't buy a Plummer.
  17. Cheers mate, lots of friends of family have been to Oz and New Zealand and prefered NZ. I would love too see for myself but its not cheap
  18. Lets not turn this thread into a slagging match
  19. Thanks for the input fellas, its really usefull and appreciated. Kye, your a braver man than me moving like that, Baldie you should convince your wife and Ditchy........your post made me chuckle Keep it coming lads and lasses.
  20. How much Rich Are you getting more running dogs then or going for the pigging route?
  21. Got a spare room Rich I'm amazed that i'm finding this such as a hard decision...................although my wife will probably make the decision for us I told her my condition would be more dogs, the only reply I got was a sideways glance
  22. Al, I like the highlands, South Wales and Lincolnshire but I'd like a place with a couple of acres and house prices are silly. I live at the edge of a small town that is surrounded by countryside yet still spend 2 1/2 hours a day driving too and from work. The thing about Oz is that the entire lifestyle is outdoor orientated, bbq's at the beaches, clean parks, outdoor pools, miles of beaches, deserts, forest.....................
