    Brand new to the site - and pretty much to pig hunting - only been on a couple of hunts (many years ago)

    I am keen to tag along with some experienced hunters

    I intend to buy just one male dog that can join other people's dogs on a hunt - is that unrealistic?

    I was looking at Matt Klement's website - does Matt have a good reputation for breeding good dogs and being honest?

    I am based just out of Brisbane - not a local so don't know too many people

    Where to start?

    This website seems like a good place

    Regards Matt

    um a dog to tag along i fine as long as it dont fight n is stock roo n wombat proof

    dont know who matt klement is but check out the breeders on here do alot of research n work out what suits you

  3. mate welcome. Good luck with the danes just be prepared for a long wait while they mature enough to be entered. Most dogs are started over here by running them with experenced dogs you might find it harder to find someone overthere that hunts the way we do, as most fellas that I have spoken to over there hunt with curs or hounds as bay dogs and drop in a bulldog to make the catch I dought a pur dane could spend that all day keeping up with curs as they try to stop a hog. Not trying to discourage you But I think you will have to be out there with your dogs on your own. I hunt with pur ridgebacks and they are a far bit quicker than a dane but I also run a staghound in my pack for when the extra speed is needed. Also take a good look at the protection we put on our dogs Ie neck collars and breast plates danes are a big dog that will deffenately need that type of protection.

    good luck

  4. Hi Scooby

    the easiest way to find huntable country is to join a hunting club then gain a R licence this will give you access to public lands ie state forest as a conservation hunter most forest are able to be hunted by dogs.

    Other than that door knock, right letters and hassell relitives that type of thing.

    All the best
