Chris did extensive research on this breed including speaking to some guys that use and raise them down under. The dogs were reasonable, but after shipping and quarantine, paperwork, etc. we were looking at having nearly $3500 in a pup that may or may not work.

Imo, a pack of greyhound/pit or greyhound/ab crosses would serve a similar purpose. Probably a mix like 1/4 greyhound would be nice.

I got to use my greyhound on three hogs this weekend. A big sow was leaving on a cur dog puppy who was trying to get it stopped on his own. Sent the greyhound from about 600 yards of open pasture. She ate up the ground and in no time flat had hit the sow and spun her around. Then the greyhound helped bay with the pup. On a smaller hog, she would have caught and held but what I love about her is that she knows when to back up and bay. If you bred in the slightest percentage of pit, the pups would probably be 100% catch.

Cheers

At least I'm successful at doing nothing right. I guess it could be worse.
