G'day guys,
Was just after some advice from any of you doggers out there, Ive decided to try my hand at lugging, I have recently purchesed two pups a Dane/ Bull Arab x Johnston Bulldog/ Arab off Troamaru on here who is now just over 4 months and already a healthy 21kg and a Pointer/ Bull Arab x Scotts Bulldog Bitch who is now 2 months old.
Ive taken the dog out a few times shooting and he looks like he is showing intrest running around with his nose on the ground, and i managed to shoot a young sal which gave him some exposure to a pig, he did have a good chew on the ears!!!
But what i am after is just some advice on training them and a couple of tips on the best way to get them running together, and what signs that the dogs are likely to show me when they are ready to hopefully hit up on some boars!! I have a quad which I will be using as my hunting vehicle.
As a first time dogger Im just looking at having some fun with my dogs and hopefully they will have many a good hunting years in them
