Duck Hunters

If your dog is not treated it can defecate on pasture, and pass on thousands of eggs to sheep or lambs. It is the farmer’s livelihood, & so if you can prove you are dosing appropriately, he is more likely to allow you access to his land.

Rules for hunting with dogs in the country:

1. If going on private land, always ask permission from the Farmer.
2. Dose all dogs with a Praziquantel drug at least 48 hours or within one month prior to going.
3. Carry some evidence of treatment such as a treatment certificate or receipt from vet. Any decision to allow entry to a dog rests with the Farmer.
4. Carry enough bags to pick up and remove dog faeces should your dog defecate.
