Collars on running dogs ?

[witton 6]

Have you got any better ideas paid? My 2 bitches are only 21in so i was thinking wouldnt it be awkward to bend down to press the clip on a quick release collar? Im not sure now :wacko: I need something but i dont know what will be best

I, like many others, just use a collar, and a bit of rope.

So I dont think there is a perfect way to do it, both have

there pros and cons.

 

The lean down and release ones are even worse, try doing that with

the lamp on the game and the dog rarering to go.

 

never tryed this style though

Thats what i was thinking but my dad isnt happy about me running them with collars. If i did it anyway with out him knowing and something did happen i would be in for it

Got to be worth a try, just avoid this kind

 

 

As for 20 quid, its no much

use for nowt but a wall hanging.

witton do it your way , not your dads way , there your dogs arn they, so do it your way. as for running dogs with collars i have never seen an accident because a dog was waering a collar but there are countless because the owner didnt have a collar. and a dog wasn't under control.

I know TOMO but now he has had a go at me for it if something did happen however unlikely I would get the old ''I told you so'' lecture He went on for about an hour saying how when he worked lurchers no one ran them with collars on ect :realmad: He goes on like he knows everything. I didn’t see him offering to shell out for the slip leads lol never mind ill just have to put up with it

 

Good hunting

i always have collars on my dogs as they protect there necks from bites etc and without one it would be impossible to get my dogs off it's quarry should i need to :whistle:
