Thread: Has everyone shot their dogs and given up?

Kiwi are killed by brodifacoum cereal baits. Same bait just a different flavour.

Except Brodifacoum kills over the period of about 20 days does it not? That was my understanding for possums anyway. I thought 1080 was a slightly faster version.

You are right in both cases. I was referring to the bait not the poison here.

Ah rightio. We used to use Brodi then changed to Pindone for one reason or another. Never had anything to do with 1080 so it is interesting to know!

Tell him to save the money on the e-collar, rehome the dog and never get another one.

I have tried mate I really have. I've told him I don't know how many times to come and see you or go and see Paul Hutton if he doesn't want to travel so far. But like I said to you on the phone a lot of people get the idea in their head that they can fix it, when really they can't. That's why I called you because I knew I couldn't handle it.

He recently had his stag do. It's a shame he didn't have the collar then otherwise it could have been part of the gag! Everytime he put a foot wrong.....zap

I must say that the kiwi training worked on my boy. He got a nose full of kiwi on his second visit and retreated to my side in a panic !
And it has not affected his drive on hunting any other animals.... Including our cat!!

Not shot my boy Inti but sadly and happily all in the same breath my mate is going to live with a friend of mine and his family on a farm block .Now to concentrate on running my young dogs.
