  1. Nice tidy animals. Do you put these offspring back to the whippet?
  2. Has anyone got any pictures of male bull type sire over whippet bitch offspring?
  3. Plenty of them used in Australia. Usually between 24 to 27 inches at the shoulder and all that red airedale colour. Good in the swamp and heavy cover and blackberry infested areas where you dont want an overly fast dog.
  4. Nice hounds. Like the look of that big strong cur.
  5. Is it out of a deerhound bitch by a greyhound dog alva?
  6. Nice strong looking pup there disturbed and a nice colour to boot.
  7. The greyhound dog over deerhound bitch offspring seem to be the better type.
  8. That cream dog is hairy with a black muzzle.
  9. Have two brothers here at 2 years old. One cream dog 29 inches and one dark brindle 32 inches. Both straight breeding with no rubbish behind them out of the last line of working wolfhound in the country. The cream dog has one litter on the ground at the moment. Hard to find any straight stag blood in NSW left. Better off looking in western victoria and south australia.
  10. Lost about 5 terriers over the years to wombats and dont hunt anywhere where they inhabit. Dug out a strong english bull terrier that chased one down a hole and when we reached it its head was squashed like it had been run over by a cement truck. Not a pretty sight.
  11. What part of Australia are these so called stags ,(that only 2 to 3 in a litter make the grade), being bred and who is the breeder? Also could you tell us the name of the breeder of the bully greyhounds that can take fox with ease?
  12. Are these litters out of proper stags bred stag to stag for generations? Very rarely will you get a failure out of a litter of pure stag pups. In Australia the bullygreyhound (english bull x greyhound) ,makes a good lugging dog on game such as wild pigs but for other Australian game they lack the hunt, speed and kill of a staghound. Stags are the original australian breed of dog developed by the early settlers to provide meat for the table and only carry late 1700,s early 1800,s deerhound and coursing greyhound blood from the same era.
  13. Quickest way to bring the height of a terrier down to below 3 inches.
  14. As a running dog for rabbit, hare, fox, deer and other fast large native game a kelpie or cattle dog makes a poor choice for a serious hunting dog. Any dog can be used successfully as a pigdog as it does not require much in the skill department . All you need is any dog regardless of its breeding with a bit of nose, intelligence and a bit of starch. A dog that can take five out of five rabbits in a phonebox would readily make a pigdog. A kelpie makes a good all round sheep and cattle dog but a serious hunting dog it does not.
  15. In Australia a kelpie is a far better all round stock working dog as it has better stamina and is faster than a cattle dog. Cattle dogs are rarely used for serious stock work and are more at home as a guard dog. Both these dogs make poor choices as serious hunting dogs as there are no lines based on these two breeds in australia.
  16. Should put a bit of bark into a whippet.
  17. I have two. Ones frightened of the dark and the others scared of rabbits.
  18. Bellman & Flint. Not only can you find your terrier under ground down to 50 feet in 10mm graduations on a LED screen but find them in large haystacks, stone heaps and old buildings.
  19. Nice stamp of terrier. How tall is he at the shoulder.
  20. Probably over 90% of Jack Russells in Australia carry some percentage of Dachshund or Corgi blood in their makeup and they seem to go alright.
  21. No wonder you sold them for a fiver Giro. You would need to be an octopus to work under the lamp with both of them full.
  22. Got a few of those bellman and flint green webbing style slip leads. Great for big strong dogs but would like one about 2 foot longer for walking through steep heavily wooded areas.
  23. Where do you get a copy and how much for it.
  24. Yes Marcos. I do alot of currajong trees in the riverina where they walk up broken hanging down branches for a camp out of the cattles way. Do alot of red gums and big old willows, one in particular holds a pair of foxes two or three times a season. Prefer a terrier to be leggy , narrow and to still have dew claws on to climb out on limbs as these tree foxes account for 15% of foxes taken for the season.
