Daytime and Nighttime. . .

What you say usually makes sense whin, its just usually somewhat off topic. But that last lot made me smile. . . . very very true. All i was trying to ask was has anyone noticed a dog that has a natural 'lean' toward a certain pursuit, regardless of time focused on that pursuit. I.e - is it totally down to what you work on with the dog or do some dogs, like some people just have a natural talent toward one type of hunting? Not such a stupid, pointless or out of order question is it?

 

 

One last thing - if you learn nothing from this site, it's full of morons, they aint funny and it annoys you etc. . . . . how come you spend so many hours on here?

I.e - is it totally down to what you work on with the dog

i think you answerd your own quetion.

some do just one particular field sport with there dogs.

be it ferreting,lamping,mooching,coursing e.t.c.

some use there dogs for all sorts and have done since they were young and the dog will be better at some things and less so at others.

 

thats just the way dogs are.

should the owner have there dogs do eveything rather than just one thing i.e lamping or ferreting.

well thats up to the owner and just because a dog only does one thing.if the owner is happy with the dog is all that matters and imho if the dog only does one thing doesnt make it a bad dog.

after all alot just course there dogs and ask and get a very high price for a pup.

is a dog that just ferret,s,lamp,s or mooch,s a lesser dog?

i have dogs that are better than my others at ferreting but then they have the upper hand on lamping.

they all get the same exposure but as you should know all dogs are different.

dont spend to long on here but comps on so my name is on screen but i do have afew select freinds on here and have the odd chat ,there is some times a few intresting subjects , but not many , majority go like best dog nice dog good lamp biggest bull cross ,most famous dog , best saluki , etc ,nothing about true country skills how to hunt the moon, the grey dark ,best temp for game hunting ,just total idle nonsense ,maybe its best kept like that no wonder book writeres cash on in these comps ,maybe lots of young ones or inexpierence hunters ,but alot of the questions added are 12 to 16 year old stuff at times, just makes you sick when you think how much you like the game and the nature of it to listen to mindless crap at times mate if you have something to say make it count and make it worth something at times we can all go on but doesnt mean you spew it of on a comp
