Marcos 44 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi people have been looking on here for a while and thought I better say G'day. Am from Victoria and am on a 15,000 acre farm.We run sheep and cattle as well as crop and am very keen on terriers, have Jack Russells and one Border (am very interested in Patterdales but not many in Australia). I have been reading with interest the terrier forum and find the info facinating. We have a lot of big trees on our property and get alot of foxs out of the trees, occasionaly have had to climb up 50 feet or so to get dogs out of hollow limbs as they have climbed up following a fox, fox has jumped and the dogs are not quite as game and a bit smarter!! Will try and find a few pics and put them up. Well all the best to you all and look forward to participating in the forums Marcos Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ozzydogman 9 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hello Marcos. Its good to see another Aussie on here. Where abouts in Vic are you? I'm 30minutes south of Ballarat. The Patterdales are few and far between around here. But they do pop up occasionally. I've got a Pat cross litter due on Sunday (but i think she will drop before then) Cheers mate, Ozzy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ozzydogman 9 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Marcos they seem to be out early this year. Went ferreting last weekend (a bit early i know) and we counted 3 red-belly blacks in 5 minutes. Are you going to Carisbrook on the 30th? Cheers, Ozzy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcos 44 Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Ozzy going to look at Carrisbrook, hope to get a good look at the Patterdales, plus JRT and hope theres a few Borders I'll take a few with me and have a bit of fun. Not real worried about the Black snakes, weve seen a heap of Tigers and not keen on getting any where near them ( me or the dogs ) we had a big fox hunt organized for fathers day and had to call it off. For those who don't know a Tiger snake is right up the top of the list for poisonous snakes in the world. Hope you have a good litter of pups and would like to get a look at them, whats the breeding?

Cheers Marcos The tiger snakes are also cranky little feckers. I've been chased once or twice Marcos, I'll be at Carrisbrook with a young Tenterfield Terrier male. Hes big for my line, but is coming on nicely. I also hope to see the brother of the Patterdale I had. Anytime your heading east, just send me a PM on here, and your welcome to see my dogs. The father of the litter is a Pat that was bred by a guy in NSW. A mate of mine has seen his parents work pigs at Cobar. According to the papers, he was line bred on Goulds Spartacus He was a big boy at 10 kilo. He was PTS a few weeks ago. The mother is out of my best digging dog (Tenterfield) and a brindle bitch She is about 8.5 kilo, so i expect the pups to be around 9 k at maturity.

Marcos 44 Posted September 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Hi Martin Gotta love Aussie slang but I had a chuckle at your effort Cheers to you Ozzy will catch you soon, let me know what pups you get Cheers Marcos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hairybull 3 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 :welcomeani: Do you have running dogs as well or just terriers. You'll have to put some pics up for us!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 15,000 acres eh, if only I had that permission I'd poop coming across venomous snakes when hunting although the venom of the Inland Taipan, coastal taipan and brown snake are more potent than the Tiger snake so what are you worrying about.
