countrycommando89 7 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) im no expert but recently i posted a similar thread about my 3 yr old whippet staff if you search on the boards you will find it i think it is called help with retrieving or something. i have been training her for about a month and a half i think and she has rely come along. she will retrieve a dummy 99% of the time now. i am still going over the basics but it seems that it is possible to train dogs that are not genetically predispositioned to retrieve. its alot of work but good fun at the same time. give it a shot as i said read the replies to my cry for help and it should help http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...showtopic=45755 ps prepare for some abuse about the catapult game thing. i think it is frowned upon on here Edited April 10, 2008 by sgtbenadair Quote Link to post

waz77 15 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Where can i get one of these corgi's? Ive heard they're some tool! Quote Link to post
cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Put the time and effort into getting the retrieve right. I would be careful about bringing them into the field. Make sure they are stock broke. Practice having one retrieving a rabbit pelt, dead bird or squirrell etc. Train one dog at a time. Two dogs are more difficlut to control. They feed off of each others excitement and will become disobediant. Have fun! Quote Link to post

But it will be dificult. I have trained a Bedlington to retrieve, please see my reply under "help needed". Good luck Quote Link to post
