Lloyd90 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Just now, B725 said: Forgive my ignorance but a well trained dog should just be that, surely if they are trained to stop on contact flush etc then they should ignore any loopy dog's as that is what I expect from my dog. They can do to some degree but surely it's easier not to put your dog in that situation in the first place? Repeatedly having issues with others dogs can cause a number of faults. Other people leaving their dogs run out of control is a right nuisance, there are an array of issues, other peoples dogs coming and stealing retrieves off your dog. Your dog having several dogs running in whilst it's sat waiting, could cause your dog to start running in or even squeaking. On top of that, when you've spent untold time, money and effort training your dog to a really good standard, it's bloody frustrating having other dogs running amok like that. Yes I know not all shoots have dogs running wild, although I think over the years every shoot I've been on at some point has someone (or a few people) with dogs totally out of control, and often the keeper or anyone else is reluctant to tell the owner the dog isn't welcome. Perhaps this is because I've only ever been on tiny shoots not big commercial ones? On smaller shoots they're often just happy to get the numbers in to help out. As said before, you will find that people who have very well trained dogs get invited onto shoots or syndicates that people with mad dogs won't get invited to. Or people who have well behaved dogs and their goal is dog training rather than shooting, might club together into their own little rough shooting syndicates.

B725 Posted February 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I understand Lloyd, but with my last springer and with Stan I can send the dog for a retrieve and if another mutt is beating him to it I just stop him and recall him back, maybe I'm just over thinking it. We have been asked to go on another shoot next season well Stan has but I will have to tag along with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I would back my Sprocker to find lost birds against any field trial dog. My first Labrador forged himself something of a reputation as being an excellent dog, so much so that when shooting invitations from one estate came through the post they were addressed to Otter *****.
