What is the best dog to get for pig hunting ???

[@NEDS-ADV]

Mate, bang on couldn’t have said it better myself. Only the experience think and talk like yourself 💯👍

[@ThePa1nterhowto]

The best pig dog I've ever seen was a red/blue cattle dog with one front leg entirely missing, I shit you not, it would take on the biggest pigs by itself, the bigger the better, never ever getting hurt. Using a faster non-lugging dog to bale the pig, Red would come up under the front pig's legs from the side and lug up and its a bit hard to explain but used the pigs inside legs to support itself. By using this method it was safely tucked under the front legs away from the tusks.

[@joefussy11]

Well.... got hurt at least once .

[@kvato3069]

Crazy. Another KZbinr uses a three legged dog called Baby Cakes I believe, and she’s his little star bay dog

[@patgorman8061]

That’s called side guard lol khabib smash style

[@GS-cy8iy]

If a young fella wants to learn you will sure teach him. A good dog is where you find him. If they can find a mentor that hunts the way they want to, then they will see the type of dog to get. Cause knowing what type of terrain you have available to hunt will help with your dog selection. Great stuff Clay great stuff.

[@ryanluvsutube]

And put in the work! i walked around in the bush catching fuck all for 2 years, ive got the same dogs now and they're not slayers but we catch pigs most hunts now, or if not catching they're at least chasing. only have gotten rid of one dog, had it from pup, was purpose bred for pig hunting, got rid of it at around 14 months old as i had put over 30 pigs into her and she just wasn't keen at all, destined to be a farm dog and is now herding sheep.

[@ClayTallStories]

Well done mate

[@Jayden-gd1te]

Love your videos watched every single one and this was good because I was looking for a couple dogs

[@stevejane5906]

I'm with you on that 1 clay I myself like to start with pups.i get more satisfaction seeing a dog go from pup knowing nothing to finding and catching there own pigs.you only get out of your dogs what you put into them.theres guys who can make dogs and fellas who get made dogs🙌happyhunting🐗

Alrighty then...a very honest video that taught us all some things to ponder when deciding to shop for a hunting dog 🐕...thanks Clay. Be careful out there.

cheers mate

any dog breed is good it’s how the dog is taught

[@ClayTallStories]

Amen

[@connorwhite8805]

go for hunts with the seller to see how the dog is

[@ClayTallStories]

Absolutely

[@Ngahere2013]

Just tell the truth aye clay.coz actions speak louder then words..got two lockley dogs from our cuzzie b4 he left for ozi ..brothers 2 year old..they were running hot for him took us 3 years too get them going..just takes to time and patience..they were the best dogs we ever had..still got one of there pups he's 12 now and still catching pigs..

[@ClayTallStories]

Yeah with the right owners Lockly Dogs are brilliant

[@alexsutherland1157]

Best pig dog is the dog that wants to hunt. Over the short 10years of training/dog relationships I've learnt it's not what we want the dogs to do, its how we go about training each dog. Every dog takes differently to training and the way we interact with them. From pup is my preferred way to start but am happy to try dogs that others struggle with.

[@ClayTallStories]

I am with there mate

Pefectly said mate, agree 100%

[@JoePesty]

Great fricken story !!!

[@Harveyshuntingandfishing]

Good yarn clay

[@zander3696]

is it a smarter idea to buy dog after dog off the internet hoping that I get a good one or is it a better idea to buy two dogs breed then sell the ones that don't make the cut because I only have two by two and then I get however many dogs I only have to feed them and when they're old enough to see who makes the cut I can make a little bit of money off of those who don't

[@ClayTallStories]

The best way is to first buy a pup from a proven hunting line. Then try and get an old retired dog that is stock proof. Hunt them both together once the pup is 6 months old or older if a large breed and the old dog will teach the pup. Good luck

[@MW-yp8zc]

Does Wade still breed dogs? If so how could i get in touch with him mate?

[@ClayTallStories]

He does. Hit me up. [e-mail]

[@practicalnottactical]

Great video Clay. I have a dog starting training now. I am not a dogger but want to use this dog to help me hunt pigs in Aust. The dog is about 20 months old and until about two months ago, he was a complete idiot. Something clicked in that dogs head and now he is completely stock and roo proof and doesn't even look at native wildlife with any interest. The problem I have is that he's not real interested in pigs either. I have been able to get him excited about one pig in a trap so far, but don't have a pack to run him with. Do you have any advice on how to train a single dog without being educated by other already proven hunting dogs? Id be happy for him just to find and bail for me. Thanks.

[@ClayTallStories]

If you don't have a good going dog to run him against then you have a lot of hard work to get him going. A pig in a pen is good for pups but ideally you need to connect up with another hunter with dogs. Find an online hunting forum and join up to connect with other local hunters. Good luck mate

[@jimmybell9571]

Great info there mate. What about breeds?

[@MW-yp8zc]

Did you end up keeping Z after that? Cool story what a beast of a dog!

[@ClayTallStories]

No sadly I had to put Z down as she started attacking other dogs. It was hard.

[@howgoodisit]

Hey Clay, im starting to do a little solo stalking in Marlborough, just missed out on my first pig by being too slow loading my bow on the weekend. Thinking of getting a dog to help me out... do you think a staffie would be any good? mainly just to help me find them.

[@ClayTallStories]

If you are wanting a indicating dog to shoot over then a visler or lab is good. If you want just a pig dog to swing off a pigs ear then staff's are great wee dogs.

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

You say you prefer Whippets to cross with for endurance, have you tried crossing with salukis or sloughis? I have seen videos of salukis running 10 kilometers or more in a hunt (admittedly across open desert, and that can make a difference). Nice vid.

[@ClayTallStories]

Yes I have. Those dogs are incredible. The problem is their size for getting under the thick scrub and tight blackberry and gorse.

[@robbiecaruso2164]

Hi clay mate some dogs people sell work better for someone els I seen this before sometimes they have relied on the main dog and the owner never gave it a chance out of that situation to not have to rely on the main dog and spend that time working away from the pack leader

[@ClayTallStories]

Absolutely mate

[@tanesmissions2459]

Mean as my bro do u think i could use my vizsla

[@tanesmissions2459]

[@ClayTallStories]

Good indicating dogs but not a lot of stop on pigs although years ago I worked with another goat culler who's visler out of the blue it pulled a massive boar in the creek below where we were shooting goats. We never weighed it but it was easily 140+

[@Island-Hermit]

Dogo argentino is the best big game hunting dog ever

[@timy11]

so how did people including yourself stock proof dogs before shock collars?

[@ClayTallStories]

many methods.

[@timy11]

​@@ClayTallStoriesyou said the only way to stock proof is a shock collar. Curious what other methods you are talking about? shock collars are illegal in my state. A heavy hand has always worked for my dogs but would love to hear about your other methods.

[@cale115]

Holy shit, had no idea how much a good dog costs, I’m assuming 10k Aussie, but still what, 6k ballpark US. Must take more time an esources than I understood to train a good dog.

Hi clay I brought a main and I’m wanting to get two other dogs I found a bitch that’s a main for another guy but she’s about 6 and the other bitch he has is her daughter and she’s 1 years old do you think they will clash with my main which is a male. Or do you think it’s worth a shot running them together?

[@ClayTallStories]

I would have started with less myself and got your first dog going. Each situation is different and dogs are different so it may still work out for you. Good luck.

[@temanateariki1757]

Roger that so you recommend just one dog to start off with then get a couple when he gets going

chur bro... even the rubbish dogs for hunting are good for something....

[@kaihuntersnz6344]

We sell dogs at 3 yrs old mark usually because they are excess to requirement or don't meet our bench mark which is high(height and weight 40 - 50kgs etc) big dogs handle big pigs easier bigger bite bigger pull etc, but it's not the size of the dog it's the size of its heart!!! check out boars bails n brawls we are selling a dog named zee aka CRAZY 🤪 small dog big ♥ Nice dog run off our mains his parents, reason for sale is my boy is doing builder apprenticeship and size he's only 27kgs but he's a ball of muscle find bail hold like all our dogs, We don't sell dogs to anyone you talk about finding right dog we talk about finding right owner that deserves our dogs!! It's never hardly ever the dogs fault it's the owner that farks a dog lack of experience with training knowing and reading dogs is a must and yes some dogs work beta for others it's usually old owners fault not reading dog properly, we are always training young dogs every 6 mths our own breed, Finding the breed that suits your style of hunting is important!!

Reading all the comments of hunters and not hunters that are expressing their opinions ,I recomend to read about the dogo argentino. The only pure breed dog to hunt wild european boars and all the pigs in the world. They find, stop and kill if the hunters are to havy to arrived to the battle inmediatly!.They are hunters dogs, not catchers dogs or barking dogs like mostly dogs in videos.If you have to stop a 400 pounds wild european jabalí you Will need at least four 90 pounds dogo argentino dogs with experience in that kind of fights and a very fast hunter to help them in the battle.That the way we hunt european wild boars here in Argentina.
