juice Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) This is a long shot, but worth a try i thought. I have wanted a staggy type pup for years, but they never appear in Sydney. After losing Ozz last month i have been thinking of getting one even more and i have seen a litter on gumtree, half wolfy half deery, lovely looking brindle scruffy munchkins, but i am reluctant to go any further without someone taking a peak in person at them. I have a neighbour who has a property near Armidale, not sure where , her hubby is there most of the time but thought he would be home for xmas so was going to ask if he might like a passenger if they turned out to be ok. As im typing i am thinking WTF are you doing, stupid idea, but it might be fate Edited April 8, 2017 by juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralPug Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Juice stags are a dime a dozen in rural Vic. Puppies available almost constantly and heaps of adolescents in rescue. If the Armidale pup doesn't work out, would you like me to keep an eye out for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 I have seen a few litters in vic , but they are always really remote spots I wouldn't get transport from . I saw a fair few older ones in rescue a few years ago but non since I have been looking or won't do interstate adoption . I want a male , scruffy , stag rather than bull Arab build and good with other dogs . If you spot anything that would be lovely . ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, now that I'm actively looking for someone there won't be any! I can always assist with transport from Central, Western and North Western Vic to the Hume Highway near Melbourne to meet a transporter. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdie Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 There are a few Staghound pups on Petresue atm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralPug Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Speaking of Petrescue, this 2yo guy looks like he might fill the bill. Fostered in Kurri Kurri, which apparently is the "Gateway to the Hunter Valley" Ed the Wolfhound cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) There are a few listed on petrescue as stags, but they are just scruffy mutts, or female . I am after a real stag, sighthound looking ,scruffy. I saw lots when i didn't have room! And thankyou for the offer to help RP.

I guess what you mean by a real Staghound is a Wolfhound or Deerhound crossed with a Greyhound ? that's what i see as a Staghound although Staghound is a name given to many Greyhound wolfhound or Deerhound crosses.What the crosses are could be anything.

juice Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Yes, i suppose so, looks like a greyhound but scruffy :laugh: Getting cold feet about that particular ad , i think a rescue or something i can at least look at first would be better.

Boronia Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I like the looks of this guy In Dubbo http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/dubbo/dogs-puppies/staghound-entire-male/1132602314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) Yes i saw him, stunning, but he has already started to hunt. I wanted either a pup that is too soft to hunt or a young dog at the pound for the same reason. A proven hunter i'm not up for. But he is the look i am after. The ad for pups has been removed , so will keep looking. Edited December 16, 2016 by juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdie Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Not what you are looking for but want to add this one in case someone else is also looking. She reminds me of my last dog and got me a bit teary;if i didn't have a cat i would be tempted. https://www.petrescu...listings/474243 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoofnHoof Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Just noticed this thread juice I wouldn't have the foggiest idea of the kind of dog you're after but I can go and take pics or vid or whatever if you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoofnHoof Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 LisaCC is also here although she may have gone for the holidays, she might know more she is in the Armidale dog sports club so might know who's who in terms of breeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
