ALLROUNDER

[johnny boy68 11,725]

Wat im sayin is it wouldnt be an allrounder for me because i do more than ratsbut, but if some one got a dog for just ratting n ratting only then surely its an allrounder for there hunting needs?

Mate if you use a dog for ratting its a ratting dog, same as a dog only used on rabbits is a rabbit dog, how can a dog only taking one quarry or doing what pleases its owner be classed as an all-rounder?

 

I've got a dog here all she does is rabbits but she pleases me but she ain't no all-rounder.

I under stand were u are coming from, but i would say its an allrounder for that persons hunting needs if he does ratting only. Its one of them threads thats going to have alot of opinions lol before u kno it it will turn into a slaggin match "my dog has bigger muscles than yours so mine is a better allrounder" haha atb walshy

IMHO an all round dog would also retrieve shot game from land and water like a retriever......

What happens if you dont shoot ?

 

Then, again just my own opinion, it would just be an animal that takes a wide variety of game not an all round dog........

i think iceman came up with the right answer what the owner wants it to do i know one of mine would retrieve from water it would do what it was told . But again my opinion of a allrounder is take everything edible atb

You are contradicting yourself now you said that the lad with the Hancock dog hasn't got an all-rounder because it dosen't do teeth yet your all-rounder takes all edible game, you eat a lot of foxes then do you?

i would class an allrounder a dog that does everything including teeth maybe should put a fullstop behind everything my mistake i will edit it again you happy atb

An all rounder is a dog that hunts more than 1 type of quarry. But there are "all round" rabbit dogs i.e ferret, mooch, lamp. So imo there are all rounders and all round specific dogs

[nothernlite 18,030]

So an all rounder in everybodys eyes is different. Adam a rabbit dog should do all that that is what is called a rabbit dog not a all rounder. An allrounder in my eyes is a dog that does that plus takes all other quarry.Everybody got diifferent opinions so is there an allrounder?

I dont play cricket,rugby,basketball or tennis but i can play football......................im a great allround sportsman you know

 

If you can get an allround " rabbit dog "....then what are you going to call an allround dog that will take allround quarry ?
