lofti 576 Report post Posted November 13, 2015 Deffo, last night we went over plenty some high and low gates plus some bad double fences Meg is a good jumper but some i lifted her over for her safety and makes more sense so you dont spook the field at some points. 3 Share this post Link to post

Phil Lloyd 9,424 Report post Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) @ Tiercel... Not realy a fan of unnecessary, 'up and over', posed images... Never have been and as I have been saying all my life,..the job is plenty dangerous enough, without playing silly beggars for a photo opportunity. I think a cameraman can get the same idea of a lurcher leaping a safe object, without fecking about around barbed wire fences and suchlike... In saying that,.the more competent, skillful and familiar a working dog is, with all the required disciplines,..the better. Edited November 15, 2015 by Phil Lloyd 1 Share this post Link to post
