Well just dogs

[wolfer]

Hi All I have posted a few times around I guess Its about time to introduce Myself a Little. Why In the dog section? well I feel this is the Place I can be of Most help I guess. Falconry Has always been one of my intersts and Now that My Oldest daughter seems Interested in it I Have found a New interest.

Anyway back to dogs. I have Hunted with dogs pert near my whole life. form Pointers to flushers to Hounds to Beagles and Yes I even Hunt terriers. I have posted one of the mtn Curs I had . My current Pack Is all terrier and I really enjoy their hunt style. Oh well I guess Ill post a few Pics of the dogs I have and dogs of the past I have had
this is crede she is a 4 mos old Airedale comes from straight up Hunting dogs

the GSP is Trey he was a rescue dog with only 3 legs. His hunt style is a little far out (trial background I think) But 3 legs dont slow him down in the least

And CHopper dog He is what Is called a Jagd terrier another common Name is the german Hunt terrier. There Is a Guy In Canada that Uses these in conjuction with his Harris Hawks, I think they are harris hawks I havent spoken with him in awhile



ANd Yellar dog she is what is a Lurcher she is Half hotblood grey hound and Half black mouth cur.... and I dont think she would make a very good hawking dogs as she could catch rabbits on her own. and I could see the wreck as she was grabbing the rabbit and the hawk at the same time.

Ok done ramblin Now

Welcome Kyle,

What types of hunting do you do with your dogs?

Quail, Pheasants? Or mainly Rabbits?

I run Terriers I run everything from Rats to Mtn Lions.LOL

All Kidding aside I Have Hunted everything from rats to Mtn lion and Bear, I Just got Into Airedales This year Because Of an Older Gentelmen that Lives right close to you (same town) My Little CHopper dog Tore into a Badger this sept that Out wieghed Him by 20lbs. It was time for a little More Muscle. as for Birds I have Pheasant (although very few) Quail, chuckar and various water fowl. My chopper dogs retrieves Ducks After fur season and after I get my dale to understand fur Ill cross train Her to retrieve water fowl also. The 3 breeds I currently Use are known for their versatility. I have read About Falcons Used for Bird Abatement. I do Pretty much the same thing with Predators called animal damage control.

The yellow dog In the pic with the rabbit was also Used With coursing Hounds to run down coyotes and thats a Whole Nother Ball game.

I know a guy with a lurcher, uses it and his dauchshunds to help farmers get rid of groundhogs.

Could you give me some pointers on how to train a Black lab--Austrailian sheppard mix and a black lab--newfoundland mix to hunt? (Alex..could you see Dozer chasing after rabbits?)

[alex2]

lol,

Maybe starting from a pup, you have a hard enough time getting him to get out of your room!
I dont think he'll be a rabbit chasing machine for a couple years

I was curious if sighthounds could or should be used with hawks? I have always loved Salukis (here is a picture of what they look like: members.aol.com/jazirat1/si13.jpg) even though in the past finding a breeder in the US was nearly impossible.

In the future, I would love to use a sighthound in conjunction with a raptor, but if it is unsafe, of course I would have the best interest of the bird in mind. Any thoughts or opinions? Please excuse my ignorance on the matter. I am still trying to learn EVERYTHING there is to know about falconry and this topic just came to mind as I saw this post.

Thanks for any input.

Here is a link from another forum www.falconryforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=11462 that has a bit about using the dogs with falcons. But you might have already seen it.
