Dangers of Lamping?

[DottyDoo 500]

Know the land you are working like the back of your hand. If something seems different or wrong on a night when you are out then it probably is. A poorly trained dog is always a liabilty so keep up the training. A lot of dogs you can't call off off their quarry but once its lost they should be back to you straight away. A fit and well fed dog is less likely to suffer from sprains and torn muscles

 

 

Spot on Florence, accidents happen, not nice but part of the game when working dogs. And yes mate accidents happen in daylight too...........

 

 

2 worst accident i ever saw happend to a dog was at night an 1 by day

firstly i will stress that one of the biggest dangers to your dog is being stock broken.... the farmer will not hesitate to shoot your dog if it attacks livestock (even if you have permission) sometimes injurys cannot be avoided sometimes they can .... a good dog will jump a fence or hedge if it is traveling 2 fast to stop. not too much more i can say realy ... you make the judgment when your in the feild only you can be responsible for the slipping of the dog....all the best lurchermania
