G'day Ronix, Welcome to the site. Cheers.

G'day mate, Welcome to the site. Get involved and blokes will get a feel for what sort of bloke you are... That's the best way to find some local contacts. Good luck. Cheers.

G'day mate, Welcome to the site. Plenty to read on here. Cheers.

G'day Cash, Tell us a bit about yourself. Cheers.

Welcome mate, Plenty of stuff to learn on here. Feel free to ask questions and join in... Cheers.

Welcome aboard mate. Tell us a bity about yourself and your dogs. Cheers.

Welcome mate.

G'day Mark, Where are you from and tell us a bit about yourself. Cheers.

Welcome buffhunter. Plenty of ideas on here, some of them are good too... just joking... Enjoy the site. Cheers.

G'day Vin, Welcome to the site. To get started, don't buy a dog yet. I'd suggest you go for a run with a few blokes off the site once you get a feel for who catches a few and has a bit of an idea how to do it. Everyone has a slightly different way of handling dogs and getting their pigs. Try to get out with a few blokes but don't let everyone on land you have access to yet. Have a look at as many different dogs on here and in the flesh as you can to see what style of animal you like and then find out who has ones that work. Dogs can either find and bail up a pig or find and grab the pig. Some dogs are not finders but will grab pigs. So find out what suits you by watching a few work. I'm sure others will have some advice too. Cheers.

Welcome Kato, I'd be very interested to see pix of anything, dogs, pigs and the terrain. Cheers.

Yeah mate, ideally you'd get somethinng that can cover the ground quickly. Assuming it can find a bit and will swing off a pig, pace is the big thing. Don't go for the maximum pace though because they can often over run things and have trouble turning... Did you say you lived in that country or just your spots are in that country? If you live there ask every pig chaser you see what they use. Evenutally something will emerge that's working for the locals. We could all list breeds to follow but it's more about the family of dogs all these dogs are wrapped up in. Working stock of whatever breed will do the job, it's just a matter of your taste. Talk to blokes on here who are from places like Goondiwindi and CQ. That's where I'd start. Cheers.

Good analysis of the team Starlo. Like your approach. Cheers.

Welcome starlo. Looking forward to the pix. Cheers.

Welcome. Very keen to see some photos of the dogs and their catches. Cheers.

G'day Warrior. Might be an idea to start a new thread introducing yourself and telling us a bit about your dogs or yourself. Welcome and Cheers.

Welcome mate, There's a couple of texas hogging sites that have a few Aussie style yank hunters on them, might be able to connect??? Anyway, good luck with it all and the search for a dog or two. Cheers.

G'day Nat and Merry Christmas to you too. Welcome to the site. Do you have dogs? Tell us about them if you do or what you'd like if you don't. Cheers.

And yes join the APDHA. You'll get to know people and you'll get $10million in insurance that will help get access to country and will make it easier to get out with other blokes. Cheers.

G'day Zeboman, Welcome to the site. In short it works like this. After you've been on the site for a while people get a feel for what sort of bloke you are. Different people end up friendly with one another and sometimes they meet and sometimes they hunt together. No one is going to give up a hot spot for anyone let alone a bloke they don't know. Just get into the forum and see what happens. Cheers.

G'day Mustang, Hope you enjoy the site. Do you hunt over there? Cheers.

G'day Joey, Welcome to the site. Re finding someone to send you dogs that won't be a big prob. Just be a matter of checking out the site and seeing what sort of dogs appeal and then asking a few questions about who bred them. Good luck.

Welcome. Enjoy the site. Cheers.

Welcome mate. You should have enough firepower in that bunch to stop anything. Good luck. Cheers.

That name's been around a long time. Welcome to the site. Cheers.
