BlueStone Uzi - Purebred Thai Ridgeback - Sire of Codex
Uzi had a wonderful nature, and loved everyone.
He had a beautiful life with us until we had to unexpectedly put him down in 2020.
I never hunted him on pigs because he was my main breeding male.
He's deeply missed.

Kenya hunting
Kenya was my main holder for pig hunting. As of 2023, at 11yrs old, she still occasionally comes out for an easy hunt. She also loves our weekly trips into town with her sisters, Sendai and Vagas. She loves our daily walks and catching the odd rabbit at home.

Mika & Echo
Out hunting Red Deer. This photo was taken as an out of sight Red Stag was walking up river. They knew he was there but we couldn't see him. Mother and daughter never needed to be told to stay in, they always waited for instructions by us. They'd always stay dead still, knowing if they moved, it could give them away. They were extremely smart.
Both are now Deceased

Proud Hunters
Our trophy Sambar Stag. We couldn't find this stag after it was shot, the dogs weren't interested in looking for it where we thought it was, so we followed Mika and her son Cash who tracked it 20 minutes from where it was shot. The only sign of where it had gone was two tiny blood spots at the start of tracking.
If we hadn't trusted our dogs to find it, this would have been a story about the trophy of a lifetime that got away. It was well hidden behind thick scrub.
Afi - Owner, Cleland
Afi was sold to Cleland in 2009 as a deer dog. She has since become a welcome asset to Cleland's hunting of deer. Another Stag for 2012

BlueStone Mika indicating a Red Stag
We teach our deer dogs to stay in unless told otherwise. We start our hunting dogs training as pups with the basics all set in place before they ever go into the bush. It doesn't matter if their deer or pig dogs they need to have manners, they make much better hunting dogs.

Hummer at 5 months
Went to a lovely home for pig hunting.
Hummer lived on a huge station with many wild pigs. One day he went hunting on his own after scenting a huge boar down the back of the farm, with no rip collar on, he was found by his owner ripped up. He'd been fight that boar for hours. The vets couldn't save him. It was a sad day for his owners, who said he wasn't just a pig dog, he was great a mate and family dog too.
