Hi Kiwi, welcome on board, nice pic of your dogs, shame about the rugby   , I'm sure we'll get revenge for you next saturday 
What sought of game do you use your dogs on

don't mention the rugby  i think the french done you guys a great service,had we won yesterday the more physical game would have set the allblacks up for a english loss as well, you had a great win against aussie.
use my dogs on all game here,including deer and wild pigs we have a large family farm with good numbers of birds. |

As an English supporter I have to admit your not wrong
Put it down to wearing the `wrong' strip, the semi-blacks just doesn't have the same effect 
I would be interested in hearing how you work your dogs on`wild pigs', as wild boar are becoming increasingly common again in this country and any dog reactions and observations could be useful. Peter |

with the gwp they love pighunting and are easy to train on them, part of the breeds makeup is boar hunting so i guess this is why,they also have a natural ability to indicate deer in heavy bush and restrain any wounded animal....they really are the jack of all trades in my book. | ||

Hi Kiwi,
How does the dog indicate the presence of `Pig', Is it a classic point, rear leg point , staunch stand or something else ( Or does the wire just b****r in after it )
Peter |

being able to read your dog will tell you what the dog wants to do when out hunting and you come across fresh pigsign, a pig out in the open and seen will be chased on site, but if it's a pup young dog they will point it, this only lasts til they have had a few pigs, after that you have to keep them in as the first reaction is to go find it, just like a normal pigdog.
a simple "nooooo" and get in works unless you want to catch a pig of cource i often end up with a pig while out chasing roosters.

Welcome to the forum Kiwi, i'd be terrified if I came accross a pig in the woods round here! No idea what my boy would do

Can you write up a description of a pighunt Kiwi?
I'm sure everyone would be interested to see how it is done and the role the dogs play. Helen S |

Helen & Kiwi,
I've split this post as it was too interesting and off topic to leave in this forum!
