is there any laws regarding hunting them with dogs ss? and can you legally run fox to?

[Silversnake 1,099]

Fox and hare is legal to hunt with dogs but there are laws along the lines of dispatch asap. Deer can only be flushed or bailed.

Is there plenty of pussy over there to hunt? The cat variety of course...

[Silversnake 1,099]

Yes, I forgot to mention cat, there are places with major cat problems, not many where I hunt but I would love to get stuck into them with the parsons and possibly my whippet x saluki bitch. When I was a kid we had a little fox terrier that used to love finding and mauling them. I have to check the laws on hunting them with dogs but I imagine the same as rabbit, hare, fox.

as far as i recolllect you can hunt introduced species but not native with dogs. at least, that was the case in Western Australia when I was there (about 15 years ago lol).

 

seriously, I took my first cross border collie/grey with me, she did 30 days quarantine and was a bit loopy for a few days after coming out but soon settled back to her old self. we didnt hunt pigs but there were plenty of rabbits, and although they tell us collie curs dont make good fox dogs, she took quite a few of them

Yeah think so,had the black staff that took foxes years ago.he had some interesting articles.

[Bosun11 537]

Stabs took his two lurchers down under and hunted them with success i believe. I've seen some cracking photos of his dogs in some bizzare terrain hunting different quarry.

He pops into here every so often and if he does, i'm sure he'll put a decent post up about his own dogs adapting to that enviroment etc.

Native species are definitely a no no. I have trained my dogs not to chase kangaroos and wallabies although they do relapse sometimes. It seems dogs can tell an animal is wild as they never ever chase stock but have a couple of times ignored me and set sail after kangaroos and wallabies even though they clearly knew it is not allowed, cheeky buggers just don't seem to be able to resist.

yep, despite my bitch being 100% with livestock, it was very difficult to stop her chasing roos.

[TOMO 25,154]

yep ,,stabs on here took his two,,,cost him a packet if i remember right,,his up in queensland i think..

[Tozer 385]

I have no idea of cost but this is the clearest I have read.

 

If I have it right quarantine is only 10 days once you get there. But there is a lot of faffing for that to be the case.

 

 

I am seriously considering emigrating to OZ or NZ
