    I thought they were a protected species? Obviously not

    It is possible but very unlikely without artificial insemination

    I had a pure greyhound bitch who was 28tts and 32 kilos, her son bred to a large deerhound ended up 31tts and 35 kilos. I'm 6foot 1 and when he stood on his back legs he could rest his front legs on my shoulders no probs. I'd love another like him.

    doubtful, mate. Most bitches find it hard to breed after at least 8 years. The pregnancy wouldn't take, I'd bet my left knacker on it

    I owned my two ACD/Bullies years ago before digital cameras, mate lol. I have some pics somewhere but they're on paper, old fashioned stuff. I'll see if I can hunt them up and take a pic of them and post them here. My two were predominantly white but blotchy blue specks all over them. Big heads, erect ears, muscular but agile. They looked just like heaps of other ACD/EBT crosses I've seen. In fact they were the pigging dog of choice in the eighties, ever sucker had at least one in their pack. As for the ACD being headstrong, yes they can be if left to get bored. But they are happiest when

    I've always thought an australian cattle dog would be good to put over a greyhound for a nice lurcher. I've used pure ACDs in Oz on pigs and have also owned some nice ACD cross English bull terriers. They are a strong, working dog that have no fear and will work all day in the worst conditions. I've never seen one in England, anyone here seen them? This one isn't mine, but it's a typical specimen. You get them in red as well as blue, they're also known as blue and red heelers.

    my kids have a dvd called Winn Dixie or some shite, that's got a Picardy in it.

    This is a doberman crossed with a rednose pitbull, brilliant guard dog, good pig dog and smart as a tack. I think dobermans are very underused as breeding parts. They have an excellent physique and good brains, not to mention a good dobie has a lot of game in it. If I was to start a new breed of pigdog I'd defo use good dobie blood. Here's mine.

    that's a strong looking young pup ,mate. Looks like he'll grow to be a big one. Good strong looking legs on him. What's his breeding? I can see bull in him (correct me if I'm wrong), but there's something else there too, apart from greyhound?? Is there a touch of something heavier? If not, what type of bull is in him? Lovely looking pup, he''ll look good and hopefully do the job too. Nice one. Edit to specify the brindle dog pup, the black's nice too.

    Just for the record wasnt marking the terrier was a good dog due to its scratches and scars thanks Chiefdogfoxer I must add that dogs that take bitey ones in close confines probably don't have the luxury of buldozing their adversary. So yes, I can see how a lot of earth dogs might take some good bites to the face. Lurchers on the other hand.....

    I find it sad that people only rate a dog by how baanged up it is. Yes, any dog who tackles the sharp end of a quarry get's marked, but some don't get it as bad as others. Some will get a bight and then drive home like a bulldozer leaving any bites on the scruff. Personally I think a marked up dog is a dog with balls but not much nouse. Nouse and balls is what you're after. A dog that'll take a hit, learn from it and avoid future hits by taking the quarry another way. My bull/boxer used to take dingoes with his head down, barge them like a bulldozer nd then grab them. The back of his neck

    here's an old deerhound/greyhound/bull of mine. She was a big dog too. Never measured her to theshoulder but I'd guess at around at least 29'' or higher. She weighed 34 kilos working weight. A good deer and pig dog, in the days when deer could be taken by dogs in Australia. I called her Harriet, or Harry for short.

    I had a boxer/pitbull cross that, from what I've seen here, could pass as an alaunt. Yes he was a good pigging dog and yes, he could dispatch an Australian fox or a dibgo, but he didn't have the speed to knock a rabbit down unless he caught one out of its warren. There is no way it could have taken a fallow or red or sambar. For english game I can't see the point of having an alaunt type. But for pigs???? Hell yes.
  14. ReggieCuz
    nice one pal, do you not hang yer pheasants to ripen them? Or is it straight in the oven?
  15. ReggieCuz
    Keeps, some brilliant photos there. How did you get there in time for the catch? Wasn't a dropper was it?
  16. ReggieCuz
    I agree, a staff is a cracking family pet.
  17. ReggieCuz
    here's my house dog, she's a good ratter too and she's gagging to get a hold of a fox that comes past the window every morning. ;-)

    what's the breeding of the white bull, mate? Pure staff? Nice pics
  19. ReggieCuz
    nice trip fella, I've heard a good sized coon can kill a terrier if it's a one on one.
  20. ReggieCuz
    As far as I'm concerned it's horses for courses. If your dog does the job of a professional hound then you have a dog that's equal to a hound, doesn't matter if it's a whippet croosed with a pug. All this pure hound sshite is just a hangover from a bygone era when only aritocrats could own a pack and earn the right to call it a hound pack. I say if yer mongrel can do the job I wouldn't give a toss if some people classify it as a hound. At the end of the day it's the number of brushes you got to yer dogs' name that counts.

    My 28 kilo 3 year old english bull terrier X pitbull (many moons ago) got into an accidental fight with a bloke's ''proven'' pitbull. My dog had NEVER been in a fight before but he delivered some serious wounds to this bloke's proven dog. By the time we split them up his dog needed 40 stitches. Yes, his dog was still keen to go despite its injuries, but so was mine. I hasten to add I HATE dog fights but I had a big shot of pride about this one cos it shut this twat up for a good month and all his ''cur'' talk was put to bed. My dog then went on to live another 7 years without a serious fight

    nice one mate. At last, a bloke who's prepared to admit his dog is learning the trade. Too many people on here make out like their dog immediately took to the job and did the business like an old pro. A youing dog needs to learn, they all do stupid things when they're learning but they learn from those mistakes. Nice little dog mate..

    You gotta love a dog that takes a few hits and sees them as an insult rather than something to be scared of. It makes the dog smarter in the long run, makes them know which end is the sharp end and the best way to do the job in the future without being hit. here's an old one of mine. She was used mainly as a pigdog but we'd use her on Aussie Charlie as well. She learned her trade on 50 kilo biters and learned how to knock a fox off without getting a bite. A good solid spine bite did the trick.

    A ex next door neighbour of mine bred Italian greyhounds and they were the most useless, quivering, thinskinned, toydog, fragile, matchstick legged, bad toothed lapdogs I ever saw. I honestly think an Italian greyhound would have trouble ragging a mouse. Yes, they were nice little dogs for young girls who want something different but as a hunting type I'd give them a 0.1119 out of 10. As others have said, it'd be a waste of whippet sperm. You'd honestly be better off breeding a pug to a whippet (not that I'd recommend that either).

    that dog's a psycho by the looks of him, he's not taking his eye of that fox. Nice work.
