darbo 4,774 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 had collie lurchers for over 20 years.all the ones i had were very reluctant to retreive when other dogs were present but great on their own.i just moved well out of the way of my lamping partener and his dog. over time decreased the distance took time but got there in the end.but as i say they were all reluctant to retreive when other dogs were present. good luck im sure you will get there.

darbo 4,774 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 good luck keep on trying. in my experience dogs with a large percentage of collie in them can be jealous dogs reluctant to retrieve with other dogs present. Quote Link to post
