gotta spell it out sometimes:P
Exactly - some people are happy with that level of drive suppression, lots of deer dogs raised that way. I would almost go as far to say that most of NZ hunters are OK with less drive if it means control. But like you say, balancing drive with control is the trick to a great dog. Thing is most people don't want great dogs.
It must be hot all over the country if we are all inside on computers! its 33 degrees here
Same here...awful...the river beckons...
Which I think is why the lab is so popular here.
Out in it all week pointer, averaged 32 in the shade for the last six days, christ knows what it was in some of the gullys/hotspots.. Enjoying the chillout inside in the cool.
Hell, the dogs won't even eat till dark it's that warm.
I agree Wirehunt, and that why I usually recommend labs over pointing breeds unless people have the work from them
I've just come back inside, spraying off after the corns been harvested, too bloody hot! My thermometer reckons it hit 34 today, its at 32 now thank Christ. No weather for hairy dogs! Setter is tits up on the lawn after a swim in the ditch
I had a huge breakfast after walking the dog 8km and am still having a siesta at 2.16pm :thumbsup:
Too hot for work, beer weather!
