Ted Newgent 4,896 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 so do the dogs hold the pigs up til a gun gets there and plugs the pig or do the dogs take the pig down? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 12,392 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 The dogs flush, catch and bay. You have guns placed around in positions and the dogs drive the boar towards them. Every now and then the dogs suddenly went mental because they were actually on the boar chasing it (never caught it mind). Normally the boar know the dogs are there and coming so they slip off ahead and that's when the guns get them 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bet that when they come through that brush, it is difficult to identify and target in a very quick time span. real good shooting. Question? whats the nearest white dog on the left doing? Is he offloading or uploading? The others have all averted their gaze. I dunno you got to have eyes in the back of your head. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My favourite is the big white bear (4th photo down in the middle) that one funnily enough is bred boxer, podenco and some other Heinz 57 ? Watching them all work in their own different roles, these dogs had a job and knew how to do it did you use your dog as well,? carnt really tell from pics with the amount of dogs there, in New Zealand they use any type x as long as it does the job, breeds mean nothing to them, and one breed that they have used there is a Dogo , and from what they said there mongrel type dogs were just as good if not better as all are tested , as long as they got guts= heart for the job thats all them and Oz lads want from a dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,392 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 The Spanish have passed new laws that ban heavy types (dogo, press, mastiff types etc) from hunting boar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So you can use finder/flushing hounds still but not catchdogs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,392 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 No the dogs are allowed to catch but you can't run certain block headed breeds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 12,392 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I was told something to do with accidents or along those lines. I'll ask Alectoris to come on and explain ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How hard is it do get an invite? Not this time as the packs that are used will attack and kill a strange dog (yes I was fuucking tempted ?) If you want to come over speak with Alectoris or me (I'll pass everything to him). I'm sure something will be arranged (bear in mind there is a price for the day and if you are shooting instead of tramping you'll need the local license, which is not that much ) Edited January 29, 2018 by mushroom 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
