Hi Jason, welcome, where abouts in Brissy are you? Must be a bit of a shock to the system up here lol, im not a fan of Brissy at all, but the outskirts are all right.

hello and welcome. i actually lived out that way for six years went to high school in mungindi, good hog country out there

best stock proof your dogs first mate, went out with a fella that told tha same story as yours, let his pitty cross of the lead once pigs were sighted and other dogs were on their way, well he couldnt get a hold so high tailed it and grabbed the nearest calf instead. Good on ya for being honest about your dogs though mate, there is a thread here somewhere that will give you some pointers on stock proofing your dogs.

good idea dion, cant help ya with costs and places though. hopefully someone else can

welcome boon, i used to know a boon out that way, what ur real name mate?

gday gary and welcome. Make sure you have basic obedience down pat with your dogs before you introduce them to pigging. People often have dramas starting older dogs esp when their prey drive overrides their reward drive (ie want to please you) and you have two very intelligent but also hard headed breeds there. sorry im not real good with the proper terms. Enjoy and good luck with your dogs mate!!

wind has been shocking around here of late, got heaps to do outside but havent been able to leave the house with a sick kid, wind goes strait through you.

Hi all. I live near Gatton/Ipswich with my 2 kids 3 if you count OH, and quite a menagerie. I grew up chasing hogs and has always been a favourite pastime of mine. We dont have anywhere to go hunting around here but we go out west as often as work allows. i recently lost my 3/4 wolfhound 1/4 boxer dog due to health complications from old age and am still adjusting to the fact, he was the most awesome family pet, best mate, and working pig dog. i wouldnt have run in eight months pregnant to roll a pig with any other i trusted him completley. he was the most insaneley loyal dog i have ever owned. he was a spittin image of hannah in the Makim dogs section as was his mother. i currently have a bull arab bitch who belongs to a friend and is livin with me while he is away, i bred her to my dog (with his permision of course) before he was pts and i have his one and only litter due next week. Her name is macey and is the most beautiul natured dog, and an awesome worker, she loves the kids and is always happy go lucky. when i first met OH he was a blue dog man, but i turned him haha, he now owns a bull arab bitch named remi, she is very boystrous and hard but kind natured and also very loyal, she hasnt been started yet, we went out to st george in qld over new years to start her but it was too wet to get around. her dad is an awesome looking dog and she is turning out just like him. we have just taken over the lease on 450 acres near Ipswich where we will be running agistment for horses, and some cattle. we also have just bought some panels for pig pens so will breed a few domestics for the freezer. looking forward to getting to know you all, been meaning to join for ages.
