Returning to this thread after several years but I can now confirm the Fox Creek farm was the one on the map above near Whiterock.
I found this piece from an online version of The Daily Gazette - Jun 27, 1992
New Zealand targets sheep-killing dog
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand - The Government plans to dispatch a helicopter to hunt down a sheep-killing dog that has evaded army snipers, farmers and government officials for more than a year now.
Conservation Minister Denis Marshall said Friday the decision came in response to a desperate plea from the owners of the Whiterock farm in North Canterbury.
Claire and Warren Mason say the dog, a cross between a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a Bull Mastiff, has killed about 700 sheep, or one-fifth of their flock, in the past 12 months. The latest killing occurred on Thursday.
I wonder if the Iroquois crew had more luck?
