Yoiter Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Hi All, I'm new to forums and pigging. I have a stag x wolf hound that I am keen to give a run but not really sure how to start? Run him with some experienced dogs I'm guessing? Any advice would be appreciate! Quote Link to comment
northern mick Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) run with experienced well trained dogs, but first train and establish control over the dog and sort out stock proofing. Have your own areas to hunt on as well, expecting to be taken everywhere on the back of someones elses hard work to gain access to a property will not get you far. Ned Makim has a book out which may be useful to a beginner to help with gaining a bit of an understanding of the dog. He is on here under dogmann or on facebook under Ned Makim. http://www.ozziedoggers.org/forum/index.php?showuser=1623 Also familierise yourself with the laws and regulations of hunting pigs with dogs for your state and area. for example hunting pigs with lugging dogs is illegal in Victoria and you would need to do it in NSW. Become a member of the APDHA. Edited May 31, 2014 by northern mick Quote Link to comment
Yoiter Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Great, thanks Mick. Dog is stock proof for cattle and sheep, we have both and a bit of ground to run around on. My girlfriend has a habit of picking up orphan lambs so he has grown up with them running around the back yard. Thanks for the tip on lugging in Vic.. I'll just have to find some dogs to run him with, as you mentioned they have to be well trained so no bad habits are picked up. Thanks for your help... Quote Link to comment
