G'day thanks for the comments,
TNHB - thanks, I really hope ours are as rough as yours have been. One thing that is a bit of a difference between Aus - USA is leg biting dogs. Here it is a definate culling (for some people more than others of course) trait as the pigs cannot be sold into the game meat market if they have been bitten on the legs or shoulders and it is something that worries me a bit. Mostly though its something we try and stop before it starts. Holding syle is a trait that we select for here, dogs that hold down the side of a big boar to avoid the pointy bits are rare and worth holding onto / breeding from.
Dub - I know what you mean. There are very few good old dogs around here. Garmin astros have helped a lot though. My end goal is to breed curs that find pigs and bay on big boars when they need to. I see taking a few pokes as part of the learning process. If we have real hard ones that will catch big boars "one out" then we'll work those dogs differently. Oh, and absolutley no offence taken.......you texans are so polite.......David Thoms called me "Mr Crittle" over the phone for about 6 months.............geez not even my grandfather was called that..............
Weller 44........short answer is mostly what you call running catch dogs, of many mixed breeds....google "boardogs" or "ozziedoggers" for more info
cheers
Troy
