UKPoacher Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 The little German dogs are ace, the German terrier is a fierce valiant and fierless *******, who will work pig all day and never tire of agressing them. The Teckle, a wire hair version of the Dasch hund will do all the above does plus blood track for miles and miles, ( a graet dog to have on your knee when in a high seat in winter waiting for pig, bit like a very mobile and usefull hot water bottle!!) and the daschy, the classic does it all. All can also be used for earth work and are formidable with both badger( Legal here) and fox. Great little ( generally calm) dogs. I said generally because the German terrier is a hand full , mainly a dog for driven pig and is the most agressive little ****** I have ever met and scares me more than any pit bull ever would if he has decided this pig is his!! Err. GSD = German Shephered Dog. At nearly 40 kg little she wasn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan-250 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 What colour is he/she ? You will be fine with the lab mate. Train it well, and enjoy every second I love dogs to pieces and could mooch about with them all day. I want either a choclate lab, or the nearly White ones. Have you seen how many Labrador owners have gone blind tho ? (sorry think it was a joke on here the other day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

browning n spaniel Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 labs born half trained, spaniels die half trained, spaniels will only slow down 10 mins before they die spaniels the best dog by far :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dastardlyandmuttly Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 do the labs not have to be trained as much then or they are easyer to train the breeder says they will carry a news paper for him from the shop all the way back but he said he did not have a paper to show me it do it after i said just get him to fetch it over to you from the toilet or kitchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) most of my shooting buddies have labs...... One of them said they are a bit boring to shoot with! Not to mention the fact that they are slobbering eating machines that knock over everything in the house with their damm tails.....,, each to his own eh as to training isn't fenton a lab??? :lol: Edited December 15, 2011 by utectok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW80 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I personally hate that statement "Labs are born half trained", do not buy into that mind set! To me it encourages lazy handling and a thought process of getting a dog that doesn't need much work. Yes they are in general steadier than a spaniel, but why settle for something half trained. Take pride in your dog and put the work in, nothing ruins a days shooting more than a ill mannered dog! And on the up side if you have a well schooled dog with you it makes the day so much better!!

dastardlyandmuttly Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Yes they are in general steadier than a spaniel, but why settle for something half trained. so really they do come half trained is a spaniel more trained than a lab from the start then Edited December 16, 2011 by dastardlyandmuttly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-250 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) A spaniel is mental mate. Your better with the lab, unless it will be worked daily and on good long walks then you maybe want the spaniel but for a pet and other bits aswell the lab I would say is the better dog. All the spaniels I know are bouncing off the Walls constantly. Don't get me wrong great dogs, lovely looking, and can be trained very well indeed, But pure mental. 1 of the spaniels I no is 10 and is still a head case Once he's out that tractor. Good as gold with the kids too. But if he wasn't out all day am sure their house would be in chunks and paw prints on the ceiling.

GW80 Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yes they are in general steadier than a spaniel, but why settle for something half trained. Hi mate, am sorry if if came across a bit curt and abrupt, but if you find yourself with a hot lab you will soon find out they aren't born half trained. Look into the breeding of whatever dog you go for and invest in a few lessons with a good handler, believe me it will make your time with the dog so much more enjoyable. I'm far from an expert but having had a a bit of experience now i couldn't just make do with a dog thats just ok but at least she/he seems steady!

welsh1 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 would a briitany spaniel be good for the job I use mine for decoying,but if you are just decoying then go for a lab or spaniel,Brittany's can be pig headed, and sitting in a hide is not top of their fun things to do,saying that once trained they do the job very well,but as a first dog,it might well end up training you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
