Thread: Is this the end of stapling your pig dog?

Pigs like a rabbit bred fast, a 7 month old sow will breed 2-6 suckers , and honestly they will live anywhere, from the snow line to the but no preferred swamp! They are a serious cunning animal smart, tough and resilient.

Back to the dogs, once they get some kills in ...no not chewing pigs to death ..but hunts in they change from a dog/ pup to basicly a wolf ( for want of a better word). Bailers will hold a small pig which causes problems confidence builds balls suddenly your bailer thinks it's a wolf and wants to get in on the kill. Some will bail many will bail hold.

Then comes the hunters ...as others have said .a good dog is priceless and great dog is beyond value...but like dairy farmers and hands some are priceless some are golden some are average and some are cunts! This is article is as normal about a bloke who for what ever reason is shit at caring about animals.

Nothing is simple, I love dogs and pig dogs episcially, that said I've met dogs and owners that I would never want to share time with again. Scars on dogs mean bugger all to me...a hurt dog is never a good thing..nothing makes your gut hurt looking at a dog with a limp.

People are the same some will be ok with a scrappy dog so long as it's hurting other dogs.

Bit like bone hunters verse , long rangers ,verse meat hunters shooting fat velvet stags , verse helihunters , verse roar hunters , verse paying hunters, verse safaris ....each does it for themselves ...each has their own group of supporters and detractors ...

But this is NZ and for now run the hounds. Perfect no agreed , that said neither is poison , baiting or trapping. But we do it for free the others cost the tax payer ..and the dogs they love it!

Some dogs also love scrapping with other dogs.. should we start up a dog fight arena?
