As you can see
the results are in, number 18 pipped the post by one. From
memory after scanning this photo I think Matt from down the
south coast of NSW owns this dog and number 17.
Can the owners please
send me some details on each dog for interest sake. Breeds,
hunting ability etc. Even though this was just a comp for the
most appealing dog regardless of hunting ability.
Also can the winner
please contact me re claiming the prize sponsored by Clynt from
the Pig Dog Shop. (thanks Clynt)

The Winner (8 votes)
Butch the white &
tan bull-Arab above, I got
him off a bloke named Dave Edgeworth
from Kempsey. He would weigh about
35kg and is not quite 2yo. He has been
one of the easiest dogs I've owned to train and has a good nose
off the ute & quad bike. I run him
with a tracking collar on as he does
range fairly wide at times. Is good
natured and lets go when told to. He
seems to be getting better all the time and hope he lasts a
while yet.
The other red bitch (number 17) that
was in the runners up was killed a while ago.
She was my main dog for a few years and almost gave up
hunting when I lost her. She finally
met her match. I got her off a bloke
who left her at my place to look after for a week and never came
back? I still reckon she was the best
dog I've ever owned and don't know how she lasted as long as she
did (7yo).
She could find a pig anywhere but would never make a sound.
She was the reason I got tracking collars and started to
use bailing type dogs with her. She
was supposed to be bully/ridgeback but she never had a ridge,
would have weighed 25kg. She
originated from Proserpine. Her name
was Dee-arna (I didn't name her).
Thanks Mick.
the
next 4
 
Bully (Number 47), is a
bully/greyhound, he is the result of 25 odd years of breeding,
he ways in at about 46 kgs, only hunts pigs on or off the truck,
he is extremely tough not giving even an inch on the biggest of
boars, he is just under 3 years old and has caught hundreds of
pigs.
When this dog is wind scenting,
you need to be very fit to keep up with him, must use
tracking collars because he just does
not bark.
Overall he is a great all round dog for stubble, and lignum
never giving up and always getting his pig.
