Thread: Brittany Spaniel

Well that was interesting. The crazy mutt has well and truly found rabbits, in fact she is still out on the hill somewhere with them. She worked this arvo out at 'a long way', a lot long than the rest. Then at the end of the day she legged it AGAIN. Was already on the ute then disappeared.

Are these normally such airheads?

Sounds like she's learnt to self-hunt. Just doing as she pleases.

Yep. She has definitely found some drive. Now to rein her in, can't afford to many more boxes of piss for finders fees

Progress. She's had a rough week or so getting a bit of a tune up off one of the other dogs a couple of times, but she is coming to her name much better now.
On a short longline yesterday and getting a good response to basic commands, running free for maybe five minutes and coming back on the whistle and voice.

Poor ol Pip, she was on a hell of a roll today working in well with the rest of them. Then she hit an electric fence and that was her day done.

One good thing about electric fences...they do not associate them with you per se, and they learn to respect fences...although it is not a nice way for them to do so.

I hope it doesn't shy her off to much, we're through fences all the time. Must of been a hell of a boot going by the noise.

Poor thing...just the thought of it makes you cringe!!!! I hate electric fences...!!!

She's done it this time, about to have her second night out in a row.

Do you mean outside with the other dogs, instead of inside on the end of your bed?

good to see i didn't have the only britt that went walkabout.......... picked her up twice 30kms away in hamilton, the third time i told the dog ranger to keep her.

I was being a smart arse. I guessed that was the case.

Thought as much

There is a Brittany in the dog pound in Dunedin at present - is it yours?
