Hey mate,
All good advice, I'd get out a bit like everyone has said and see what is working for some other hunters. In relation to the Pitty, They are a banned breed around all of birsbane and there are plenty of other dogs around that will work and do what you want without the hassle that comes with that breed. I live in Brisbane, so once you get here send me a msg and pop over and say G'day sometime.
