Evan Jo Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 G'day everyone, My name is Evan and i'm just starting out. Never done pig hunting before but it looks sick! ive got myself a new pup, He is a Bull Arab/wolfhound x Bull arab, 5 months old 28kgs and very leggy (AXE).Have attached a pic of the little fella. If anyone has any info or tips for me in training him up, they would be much appreciated. e.g (spotlight training, tips for getting him use to the ute?) Quote Link to comment

He doesnt show much interest in them. but i havent got any access to proerty to stock proof him properly, is it important to get him used to other dogs aswell? and do they learn watching other dogs in action from the cage? Hes really good with other dogs at the dog park and kids aswell. Quote Link to comment
