Geocache Description:

This might be a fairly tricky one. No tweezers for this one! We had a pencil, but it broke so bring your own pen. Have fun with another cache in the Portland Pooches series!

I would tell you what it looks like, but where's the fun in that? :-) Please put it back exactly as you found it!The Kangaroo Dog is a purpose-bred Australian sighthound that is considered a "type" of dog rather than a purebred. The breed is maintained purely for hunting game by sight, and little interest is shown by breeders in joining the ANKC. However there is some discussion among a small group of hunters on starting a working registry which focuses on the working ability of these dogs rather than solely on their looks.Although quite rare, "roo dogs" still persist as a type in rural communities where hunting rabbits and foxes remains a popular pastime. Apart from being bred to continue the type, Roo Dogs are also often cross-bred with molosser and bulldog breeds to add speed and stamina in some lines of hog dog. The smooth-coated Kangaroo Dogs are better suited to warmer parts of Australia as they have less protection from the elements. Because they are generally more greyhound-like than their staghound cousins and lack the thick protective coat, they are also prone to skin tears when hunting dangerous game such as dingoes and feral pigs, and despite their powerful stature are probably more suitable for smaller game such as rabbits, foxes and hares. The hunting of native animals such as kangaroos with sighthounds is now strictly illegal. The ability of Kangaroo Dogs to use their scenting abilities while hunting is variable from bloodline to bloodline, although most seem to have an average nose and rely much more on sight to hunt their prey. Staghounds or Kangaroo dogs with an infusion of Great Dane or Wolfhound tend to display better scenting abilities.
