Riki and Taro finally getting along.
Well took Taro and Riki out to see my mom and her dogs with all the kids. Man do we have a storm brewing in socal or what! The dogs did some running around at my moms property and I started building a pig pen in her yeard for training.
Riki is now 100% deaf in both ears and I keep saying that he's going to retire but man he still acts like as if he's just got into his prime. My moms been wanting to get her dog Shiro (whippet X) into chasing pigs so I maybe training her also on the og I'm going to be getting. So we shall see how that goes.
Enjoy the photos.

Out of curiosity, is the color difference between them an age thing? Or is Riki just more red for genetic reasons? It looks like Riki is just as white as Taro in some areas. Just curious.
On the other hand to show you how retarded the legislators in California are, the California Fish and Game comission (what a joke) recently made regulations to prohibit the use of GPS tracking collars for hunting dogs (makes no sense what so ever) so now I'm hopeing I never lose a dog while I'm out hunting. Now I have a Garmin GPS system that I cant use. I'm seriously thinking of moving out of this state!
Or are the powers-that-be in CA determined to paint hunters as people who don't care if their dogs go missing?

WTF is up with BANNING GPS collars?! Shouldn't there be a law to make GPS collars REQUIRED??? Baning them to me seems a bit inhumane. ~
The banning of the collar thing is insane. I guess that is one way to stop people from hunting with dogs? Very passive aggressive.

I can't say anything more profound than that which has already been stated.
1 dog per hunter during deer hunting season when persuing legal furbearing animal (if deer is in season I can only use one dog to hunt hogs)
3 dogs per hunter for the legal persuit of hogs
unlimited number of dogs per hunter for the legal persuit of bears but no dogs during archery season
dogs prohibited to use during archery deer season (which includes dogs to track downed game)
If you hunt in any of the 4 dog control zones, you can only train you dog from the first day of the rifle deer season to the first friday in april. (whats going on imbetween???)
luckily San Diego or Cleveland national forest is not a dog control zone so I can train at any time (one of the 3 or 4 areas in all of cali)
[ & hunting with dogs here isn't ne better. Only a few WMA allow hunting deer or hogs w/ dogs. ]
I'd bet money, outside of bird dogs, in a few years hunting deer or boar w/ dogs will be completely banned. ~
Yeah I think it is getting harder and harder to hunt big game with dogs. PETA is sure fighting hard and saying pig dogging is a form of dog fighting. They will never understand that wild hogs are invasive animals that cause billions of dollars in damage every year and the most consistant way to hunt hogs is to use dogs. Well in order to do that you have to train dogs by using live hogs....any thing hunters do these days is considered animal cruelty by the small group of retarded anti's but many of them will have no problems eating a burger down at the burger joint.
