    If that's what you're after then great. Raising completely obedient dogs is easy. Raising completely obedient dogs that run hard and range wide with great drive and style is the hard part. What you are suggesting will get the first part which is probably what you're after and good for you. I'm after the 2nd part as are several other people here.
    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.

    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
