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...
