  1. Thanks for the welcome :)

    It's so cool hearing about everyone's hunting trips.

    I don't think I've been hunting since I was about 10, used to go and try shooting rabbits from the back of my uncles car.

    Was never a good shot though. 

     

     

    Here's an example of dryland racing. Small teams use the scooter like I am.

    3 dogs and above use a custom made 4 wheeled rig.

    This is the only dog I have at the moment, She's a pedigree siberian husky called 'Esky'

    She also competes in weightpull events.  :)

     

    The distance of these races isn't very much, about 2.5-3.5 km for single dog teams.

  2. Hey I'm Ash from SA,

    I'm probably here for a different reason than other members, I've joined up to research a couple of pig dog breeds with the hope of expanding my dryland racing team.. (not that one dog qualifies as a team).

     

    I don't think a pig dog is that crazy of an idea, some of the best mushers oversees have some pretty interesting crosses similar to those used for pig hunting.

    Also I kind of like the idea of having a dog that has boundless energy and is bred for Australian conditions, might give me a bit of an advantage being able to keep fitness up during the off season. 

    I run a husky at the moment, and anything above 15 degrees is really far too warm for intense exercise.

     

    If I can work out how I'll post a picture as it's easier to show what dryland racing is than to explain it.

     

    Hope to hear from some of you
