Thread: Rosie Has it Rough

...at her new home. She is worn out from following eight quail from the yard to the lower field, lunging through 1" to 2" snowdrifts!

Cool

id say rosie,s more than halfway to running your outfit

A lad and a dog the makings of some wonderful memories!


That's right rember how innocent they both looked right now ..... Because in a couple years time those two will be burning through your ammo , boots , socks and tucker!! Enjoy every second with the both of them!

I agree. My dogs know their place, and as long as I control "the place" it can be anywhere I want it to be. There's little value in trying to "toughen a dog up" they're all born tougher than us and doesn;t mean we shouldn;t show them some kindness here and there. Handling will control the end result, not if it's freezing its nuts off or not.

as someone who lost his hunting mate recently i now understand that i let him down by not having the control i should have.
but control is not cowering or standing over nor is it begrudging them a bit of comfort that they will well earn.
thier working lives will be hard enough and our job is to nurture thru training not dominate thru harshness or some sence of thinking we need to standover or ''treat im mean to keep im keen''to get our message thru.

You are absolutely right. My dogs are very compliant and a lot of that has to do with the trust they have in me. Bullying a dog might have got a command obeyed for some, but it will never build a team.

At the after hours vet with a very very sick dog , not good at all!

Not again! Good luck munsey

sorry put this in wrong place , thanks pointer

What's happening Munsey?

Update , my dog ate a bag of old rotten food he stole out of the rubbish wheelie bin (almost a month old) the toxins nearly tipped him over . Convulsions , saliva , panting etc . He's improved but been transferred from after hours vet $$$$$$ to my vet $$$$ . We just hope he's not got organ damage now . Fluids and rest .
