Yea they are amazingly tough animals but this time she just couldn’t pull through. Very sad day. Thanks for the comment👍

It’s always nice to hear from fellow hunters that understand what it’s like and to hear that they appreciated the video and what we were trying to portray. Really appreciate the support🙏

Thanks mate, appreciate the support and the comment👍

Thanks for your comment, we loved her and will miss her a lot😢

Thanks mate, yea we weren’t sure whether we should put it on or not but the response has been overwhelmingly positive so we are relieved people appreciated what we were trying to do. Cheers🤙

Thanks for the comment. You build a strong bond with a good dog you have hunted with you years and it’s hurting for a range of different reasons. I’m glad you felt it portrayed what we were hoping to achieve with making the video.

Nah it’s a tough one. Thanks for the comment👍🙏

Thanks mate, she was a cool little dog and tough as nails. We will miss her a lot. Appreciate the comment👍

Thanks mate, yes it’s hard but it’s a reality. I’m glad people seem to feel like the video portrayed how much we loved her. Appreciate the comment👍

Cheers mate👍🙏

Thanks for the comment, appreciate the support👍

Thanks mate, yea we’ve had some close calls before but never lost one. She was a tough little dog but unfortunately this was her last fight. RIP😢

Thanks mate, I knew some of our loyal pig hunting followers would be sad to hear she’s gone.

Thanks for your comment. We appreciate it and thanks for watching the vid👍

Yea we would far prefer to have hunters involved in controlling animals and utilising them as a resource where possible rather than just dumping poison in there.

Yea, all hunters understand how much we love our dogs. It’s hard for some people to understand but hopefully this video shows a bit of how much we love our dogs even though we take them hunting and they get in dangerous situations sometimes.

Thanks, I’m glad you could tell from the video how much she meant to us. Appreciate the comment🙏👍

Thanks mate, it was a sad day. Appreciate the comment👍

Thanks, I’m glad you appreciated the video. We appreciate the support👍

Thanks mate, appreciate the comment

🙏

Yep she was a legend right until the end. Very sad loss but some great memories to look back on.

Thanks, we appreciate the comment

Yea it’s sad, but it’s also just part of life. We will miss her a lot but we are grateful to have so many fun memories hunting with her by our sides

Thanks for that comment, we really appreciate it. It was actually hard to decide whether to put the video on as it’s not a very nice thing to share and we thought the anti hunters would rip into us but the support has been amazing. Thanks for watching all our vids and your comments. We really do appreciate it👍

Yea they truely are man’s best friend. We had a lot of fun hunting with her over the years and will miss her a lot. Appreciate the comment mate🙏👍

Yea if you have owned dogs you know the feeling. Appreciate the comment mate👍

Thanks mate

Yea it was pretty devastating, we spent a lot of time doing what we both loved and have a bunch of cool memories exploring the bush and catching hogs👍

Thanks, yea I shed a tear making it. Pretty sad but wanted to share what happened with our followers. Appreciate the comment.

💙

Thanks mate, great comment. We appreciate it👍

Thanks🙏👍

Thanks👍

Yes it’s cool to be able to look back on our hunts with her. Still a bit sad at the moment but it’s great to have them. Thanks for the comment

Thanks mate, she went out doing what she loved. She was a great little dog and we will miss her a lot. Appreciate the comment👍

Thanks man, yea not many people use them over here. They seem to slow the dogs down too much in the thick scrub I think. We carry staple guns and all that but didn’t wanna show too much of that stuff on camera as it just gives the antis too much to complain about. Appreciate the comment mate👍🙏

@@clarkeboyshunting yeh the off the shelf ones can inhibit movement so we used to get them custom made. Generic ring collar arrangement but fitted with chest an shoulder protection custom made to fit the dog. Single thickness on the shoulders and double thickness in the chest area. I had my best dog for over 15 yrs and never put a stitch in her but her collar an chest plate was shredded by the time I retired her and she was probably smaller than Peanut at about 15 odd kgs but hard as balls staffy cattle cross. We also have extremely thick rainforest and sugar cane (that stuff sux when it’s falling over on itself👎) that we hunt in nth Qld but never lost a dog to a pig but did lose a couple over the yrs to snake bite and a croc an that sucked as it’s like losing a good mate? Sorry for the lengthy reply but really think u should trial a custom made chest plate on one of ur harder holding dogs as yes the plate might be expensive but one big vet bill would buy you 3 new plates?? Stay safe guys🤙

Thanks for the comment🙏

Thanks🙏

Yep they are a great companions. We will miss her. Thanks for the comment

👍🙏

Thank you! Glad you appreciated what we were trying to do in the vid👍

Thanks👍

Thanks for the comment. We will miss her a lot😢

Thanks, she was loved and got to do lots of hunting so that’s pretty much all most dogs are after. We will miss her. Appreciate the comment👍

🙏

🙏

👍

Thanks, glad you felt it was fitting for our little dog. She was a legend and we wanted to give her a bit of a send off with our followers👍

Thanks mate🤙

Cheers mate, pretty sad alright. Appreciate the comment👍

Thanks mate, yea wanted to try show that us hunters really do love our dogs👍

Yea she was a tough little nugget. Too tough for her own good. A great companion and a sad loss to our team. Will miss her a lot. Thanks for the comment🙏

It’s tough losing a good companion. Lots of good memories had over the years doing what we both loved. Thanks for the comment🙏

Yea she will be missed a lot. She was a little legend. Thanks for the comment🙏👍

Yea pretty gutting, she was a great little mate and we will miss her.

🙏

Thanks for your comment appreciate it🙏

Thanks for the comment. Not many people use them in New Zealand. Have you used yours in thick bush? People that have used them over here found they weren’t able to catch the big pigs anymore, dogs couldn’t keep. Perhaps they were getting caught in the bushes?

Thanks, it’s a tough loss. We appreciate the comment.

Thanks

Cheers mate

🙏

Yea they are used a lot in other countries. Not so much in NZ as they tend to get caught up in thick nz bush and slow the dogs down too much.

👍

Thanks mate, appreciate the support👍

Yea it sucks when they get hurt. We’ve never lost one before peanut. Thanks for the comment🤙

Thanks for the comment and for watching the vid👍

Thanks mate👍

Thanks for the comment👍

Thanks for your comment. It’s been great to hear from our followers that they understand the pain and that even though we are pig hunters and it’s something that does happen, It is still sad when it happens to your little mates. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment🤙

Thanks mate! Yea it’s a tough one but it’s just part of it unfortunately. Thanks for watching.

Yea very sad, we knew a few of our followers would also be a bit gutted. Thanks for the comment.

Yea it’s part of it unfortunately. Very sad when it happens. Cheers for the comment👍

We would be lying if we didn’t say part of the reason we hunt with dogs is that we love hunting that way as well. It is really fun to explore the bush with your dogs and chase down crafty these worthy adversaries. It just sucks when something like this happens😢 We are glad this video resonated with you and hopefully it portrayed how much we love our dogs.

💙

She was a good dog, thanks mate👍

Thanks, yea she would have👍

Yea she got to do a lot of what she loved and we loved her a lot. That’s a pretty good life for a pooch👍🙏

🙏

I hunt un France 🇫🇷 with my 5 dogs so i know what you can feel !

Hunt wild boar off course (also some with good teeth as yours)

Oh man that sucks. Yep it’s gutting. Sorry for your loss mate!😢

Yep it’s very sad, we will miss her heaps. Thanks for the comment

Thanks mate👍🙏

She was about 5 years old.

Thank you guys for letting me know

My dream is to meet you guys 😮 of watch all of your videos I'm a fan

You're not the only one that had a lost dog my dad got a lost dog from a pig

🙏

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video and felt it did her justice👍

Yep it leaves a big hole on your life when you lose a good little mate. Man’s best friend

Yea they get to do what dogs were meant to do, hunt! Same as people, it’s just in us. Instinctively. Cheers mate👍

Man that sucks! Yea we love our dogs. Unfortunately it’s all part of it. Hope you’ve managed to get the pack going again after losing them👍

The protective gear for pigdogs just doesn't suit NZ hunting conditions, unless you have rope dog specifically used for holding.

Thanks mate, Yea not many people use them in NZ as they seem to slow the dogs down too much in the thick bush. Obviously things are always improving and maybe there will be something new available at some stage that is more lightweight and less likely to hook up in the bush. I haven’t seen or heard of anything very effective being used in our area but will wait and see. Appreciate the comment👍🙏

Thanks mate, appreciate the comment

Yep it sucks. Thanks for the comment👍

🙏

Thanks, yes it’s very sad to lose a companion. She was a good little mate and a good hunter. Thanks for the comment👍

Thanks mate👍
