Wild-Bill 500 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Quick question if you had a genuine dog very successful, done the lot so to speak. Would you cull if the dog took it's hand to sheep? I don't mean purposely hunting them as those dogs are good for f**k all, but I mean would take one if in the same field... ? Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 my bitch has always been fairly steady with sheep ,although one time while hunting up in the day there was one the wrong side of a fence in a spinney,caught up in bramble. the lads lab and springer ,and my lurcher and terrier all piled in ,but my bitch had lost it, and wanted to carry on. so yes they can be safe and then turn especially if sheep aren't the norm. I asked my mate to shoot her as i was gutted but he would'nt, glad i didn't,and although i never trusted 100%, she never done it again ,although i was able to read the signs if they was about. so no i'd try and re-train and put more effort in rather than pts 1 Quote Link to post

Most definitely PTS, once farmers find out that you have dogs that are keen on mutton you will lose every scrap of permission, its totally irresponsible to keep on a sheep killer, no mater how good the dog, i know because i have been there. 2 Quote Link to post

terryd 8,029 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Nothing wrong with being a pet owner playing at hunting. If you have a dog thats served you well and loyally for years then its makes one mistake least you can do is give another chance as long as your responsible about it. 1 Quote Link to post

If the dog was that good you'd have no end of people willing to take it off your hands regardless of this fault, its the way of the world sadly. Quote Link to post
