Thread: Deer dog?

hey, i have an 18 month old gsp bitch. she was the runt of the litter, which was a good choice because she is not to big. great with the kids, wants to please, and not into fighting which is great. she is the best hunter with an outstanding nose. she will point most game, she will even point flys. they are abit mad when young, but do come right with time and training. the gsp needs lots of room to run and sniff about off lead. i agree with r93 they are a great breed. thats my two cents worth.

Are they bad jumpers? our new place has a low spot and I've heard they can be buggers for trying to escape?

If my last dog is anything to go by and having just had the most basic of control training delivered by myself. (Not a dog trainers asshole)

I would have to agree. He worked on deer well enough for me to turn a profit.
It just took me a while to trust what he was telling me.

You're onto it... They don't lie... we just often don't understand.

They do lie... My lab constantly tells me she is starving and I need to feed her right now before she dies of mal-nourishment. She is perfectly well fed and in good condition.

You completely reinforce my intention. You misunderstood, she is not claiming to be starving she is simply reinforcing her inalienable right as a Labrador to demand food whenever she wants to eat, which is always. I'm the same with booze, I am not trying to convince the barman I am thirsty, but simply to "keep that shit coming"!

The more I think about this, the more similar it is... both end up with a "I want more" --- "I think you've had enough" scenario!

I have a similar relationship with my local rum peddler.

Broke all my own rules a couple of days ago, took 2 dogs on a pig hunt which because of the sign became a deer hunt. Both these dogs will indicate on deer and have been used but only one on one. First indication was good, sneaked in but the breeze got the better of us.
Second time went in on a good sized stag, when everything became too much for the young dog which broke and chased. Got her back 4 hours later, so back to square one with her.
