About John Lockley…

My passion is the dogs and the breeds, and the sport I do. That's pig hunting mainly.

To breed a beautiful confirmation hunting dog that can suit a lot of people, and catch pigs is what I love to do.

The real secret is to have a dog that can catch a pig, and keep them in one place until you can sort it.

A physical healthy sport. This is why I am into pig hunting.

My background is I have been farming all my life, left school at 14 years of age and went mustering.

Dogs and horses have been my life! My passion.

How I started…

My father and two uncles were hunters and as a child around 5 or 6 years old I saw them bring home pigs and that.

As a child the pigs looked huge, with big jaws, and that was exciting. As was duck shooting.

I was brought up on all this type of hunting and gathering for a purpose.

So when I left school, this was a big part of my life. Hunting and gathering a feed.

This was our main food source. To put food in the freezer for the family.

I enjoyed this so much I just carried it on...

I have been breeding the Lockley dogs since 1974…

I had a couple of dogs great dogs, mated them and their prodigy turned out pretty special so I have kept the line exactly the same as it was around 35 years ago.

Contact me today if you are keen on hunting, I'd love to chat... answer your questions.

Here's a couple of hunting videos to check out…
