I have just read on another forum that a fowler's dog has gone missing at 6 am on New Years eve morning on the washes on the a1101 welney flood road. It is a 4 year old yellow bitch. Please contact me if you have any news & I can pass on details to the owner.

Thanks

S.G.

Thanks for updating the post Auceps. I didn't want to put his phone number up without his prior consent, but got the permision earlier. I am sure all of us with dogs feel for him & would do what we could to help. Good luck with your search "widgeon man", hope Mey is back with you soon.

I am not a member on the 'other forum' and I am not really worried or bothered about being a member, but I will ask how do you lose a dog ?? I am just trying to think how it happens if you have a well trained dog that don't just bugA off on its own or whether the owner is prepared to put the dog in a dangerous situation for the sake of a bird. If its the latter he maybe shouldn't have shot the bird. Maybe theres a simple answer that I am missing somewhere.

He let the dog out for a pee before going out wasn't going to use the dog as he was in a boat ,anyway the dog must of flushed a wounded duck from the edge of the water and she went for it and shes know for never giving in on a runner . I was there when she was found on a wash that's flooded bank to bank starting to wonder if she had been there for 4 days and nights.

Gerard and I were shooting welny road washes angle and hilgay ,as the washes are flooded bank to bank we were in boats but walking with them any way we were early so stood talking drinking coffee for a while few people braved the crossing in 4x4 time came we went to our chosen wash think I had a shot at a woodcock flighting over and this dog started to howl making a terrible racket ******* me right of spoiling the flight it did cross my mind was it brads dog thought will look after the flight , thought it could be gerards old dog not taken out playing up ,any way with ear defenders on couldn't decide where it was coming from and I could hear other fowlers about thought that's bad leaving your dog to howl like that ,gerard thought it was my dog as im quite hard of hearing and couldn't hear mine,after he had gone back and slapped his old dog for howling poor ******!. Betweent he two washes is an overgrown wash full of trees more of a willow wood really gerard thought well no one shoots that wash so went to look were the racket was coming from and in among the trees was meg but he couldn't get to her as for fallen trees and felled one but after a bit she swam out to him and as of ten oclock last night she was reunited with brad a very happy man .
