Aussie Whip we bred this bitch ourselves, her Dam was 50% collie 50%kelpie and her Sire was a working whippet imported from Aussie. She's very full on and bossy as all hell, also has a truck load of brains.

Since my wife required to be dropped off at her mother's place in Central Otago ,I thought it rude not to take advantage of the high rabbit populations that can be found around the lake in central Otago so I threw a couple of young lurchers ,ferrets and nets on board and after dropping her grace off, I bolted off to one of my favourite places, an area of flat ground with some large pine trees around the local collie club. There is a walking and cycle track that runs along the water's edge at one end, a busy man road at the other and the two other boundaries are both fenced in rabbit netting.

Yes that's a common problem over your way Aussie Whip, once the dog has heated or heat stoke (call it what you want)the dog then becomes prone to it, over heating faster each time. In some cases, this has ended a dog's working life, making them unsuitable for any hard running and hunting.

Interesting enough, there is now a huge housing problem in the states brought about when hard-working people lost their jobs over the Covid this along with a number of new drugs hitting the streets has seen 1,000s of middle income earners homeless .1,000s of people living in tents on the side walk and in parks, most addicted to a killer drug that leaves people in a zombie like state ,bent over passed out standing & another new one, that eats the flesh on the bone resulting in fingers falling off without any knowledge what happened to them. What a very sad state for a country to find the

I find there is no value long term to fall out with the landowner, yes at the time, after ripping the farmer a new asshole, you feel vindicated however with the passing of time you realize that you will never get back onto that property while that farmer still owns the land. Now when this happens to me, I nod, smile and say "ok if it doesn't work out you know where to find me "then I walk off. While this has only happened a few times, twice I've had the landowner ring me at a later date, and ask would you be interested in doing some control work on a couple of hotspot areas to which I've agree

Yes since he would be unable to buy any licences & tags for fishing & hunting. Wild life rangers have sweeping powers & are anomaly armed.

They have been hammering the illegal hunters in New Zealand as well, big fines, impound your car/truck for 28 days, at your cost to get it paid out of the yard, confiscate all your hunting kit, you lose your firearms licence and the Judge can ban you from any hunting for a set period. All set up to make it as hard as possible to sneak into company owned forestry, all the neighbours ready to call if a truck or car is parked at a gate or on the roadside, cameras set up to alert the forest managers in real time pictures arriving to their phones, so in the company of the police they know which roa

Yes I totally agree ,....... we might be joining them soon the way the world is heading these days ........each day a new level of madness is thrust upon us .....

The Dam looks like.......

Most of those people wouldn't know who their father was, let alone how these types came to be .....?Foot note..... I just watched a video on youtube about how people from India ,leave or drop off their unwanted kids at a train station ,never to return.The kids then live in the train station ,stealing to pay for food & drugs, it painted a bloody sad picture...poor wee sods.....tucking into half rotten food ....a puff....then into the tucker again .....

All top shelf photos lads ,keep em coming !

To be fair it's not a single dog but several ,animals bit in the under belly & flanks don't last very long at all.

These new laws/rules are worldwide, driven by the UN with each country having mandates to meet ,it's without doubt a brand-new level of madness. With each passing year, I question & ponder these matters and realize this world is not the one I was brought up in ,It's something I would never have imagined in my wildest dreams ,ponkers running the damn country now.

You look a lot like step toe sir

They are allowed to live & breed.

A lot of these matters are out of ones "control", any spare pups I have, after all the dust has settled, are sold. Most have been picked/ordered early, however for any reason a person has changed their minds I try to make it as easy as possible for them to drip out. Often people don't even show when stating they are coming out to view, that doesn't bother me I expect nothing, I simply move onto the next name on the list, that's been formed before the pups arrived. I've just about heard every story /plan for the puppy, some normal and some wild, but I've LEARNT a long time ago once the puppy

Your pup will once full grown have you tearing your hair out in lumps some days, but just like me, you will come back for more the very next day !lol

During my pig dog ownership, I had two pure ACDs dog both males, I liked the second one better than the first but only just, hunting wise they didn't have any distance & were fine if the pig was under control but almost took a back seat, if the boar was dishing some hurt of its own, so I don't really like them. I can think of many breeds I'd rather use than an ACD however that said all this means zip, nothing, many others have used this breed within their own breeding programs and been well pleased with results. I still don't like them .......so I will never have a good one ....the human

I brought a quick set net off Brian 12 or 15 years ago, and It's still going strong, however that was in another lifetime going by these reports, it certainly doesn't sound a very good business model. The rabbit world is a small one & bad word of mouth can see sales drop away at a very fast rate. My go-to saying in these matters is this," anybody can make a mistake while in business, it's what happens from that point on that really matters."

I at one point in time ran 6 beagles, however that was going back ten years or so now .Of late Ive decided to once again to hunt a pair of pure beagles instead of the usual cross we run, a terrier x beagle is our go-to breed these days & it's worked well for us, but I miss the sound of a hound when it's eating up the ground in full cry. One is a 15-month-old bitch & the other a male who's only 4 months old & shaping up well. Looking forward to breeding my pair of nutters & my plan is to keep all the bitch pups as this will help build up my pack to reasonable numbers .This pup

Every family wants a pup, until it becomes a dog.

Found this on the net ,might be useful. Coccidiosis is a common and worldwide sporozoan disease of rabbits caused by the protozoan parasite Eimeria ep. Up to 25 species of coccidian have been observed in rabbits, with two main forms seen, hepatic and intestinal.

Would have got more if we didn’t get bogged.

Great result ,looks like you guys managed to get the truck AND tractor stuck, did that required the use of the digger to get both out ? All part of the adventure, bet you had a few laughs. -
