Now I have a new dog. A Red cattle X Koolie.

Introducing dogFred von Ratbaggen the 1st,
better known as Fred ... don't be fooled by the fluffy puppy exterior, this is the most savage/agressive dog I've ever had.
Growling at 7 weeks, tried humping my leg at 10 weeks, and turned on me trying to take me on when pulling him into line at 10 & 1/2 weeks.

It looks like it has chow in it - and they can be aggressive.

There's no voting until the last week in September. Nominations start mid September. Someone will post you a link as soon as it's up.

Hey Sappo .. good to know you're still around.

Always around Yogi... just sometimes too busy or tired to post.

He'll be a big boy judging by the paws at that age, Yogi

They are great pics.

Reminds me of when I went to up north of NSW Brewarina where sitting in a bar some guys said "we are going pig catching tomorrow".

I had been pig shooting so I said.

Are you shooting?

NO.

Are you taking dogs?

NO.

Are you using any weapons?

NO.

How the fuck are you going pig catching?

We are going to catch wild pigs with our bare hands.#

Bullshit.

Well city boy, how would you like to come.

So I went pig catching the next day and caught a wild sow with my bare hands in the bush.

Not sure how big this dog's going to get, but looks like he going to be solid/bulky.
He eats a fair bit for such a small animal.

Looked for a particularly large pig (turned out to be 100+ kilo black rasorback) for weeks .. this pig was smart, would walk in shallows of a dam diggging yabbies out on either side .. took about a month just to spot him and his mob .. let a mate have 2 free shots (missed both times) before sending Rocket to get a 30-40 kilo pig, minutes later boar in question ran past me uphill with Rocket right up his rear .. alerted mate pig was coming with my dog close and he reckons his rifle jammed, had to drop mag, put back, .. boar gone .. had a mob of 20 or 30 with him too.
Had have other 70-80 kilo lone boars just wander down the creek straight in to the back of my place .. occassionally sneak within 100 metres of my camp.
