Hi Years ago I had this problem with my old collie lurcher; in his case he initially, in early training, retrieved the dummy to hand and was happy for me to take it from him but then started dropping it a few feet away. To begin with I started crouching down as he got close because I thought he might be intimidated by me standing over him but in his case this didn’t help, he just dropped the dummy as before and then came over and licked my face. My next tactic was to slowly walk backwards as he approached and if he dropped it I would say “fetch†this helped quite a lot. While doing t

I suspect that at least one reason that he sells as many dogs as he does is that at least you know what the dog you buy will grow into, when I went to pick up my last dog he pointed at one of the adult dogs running about and said he will turn out like him, and so he did.

I had a ¼ Beardie/Border ¾ greyhound and hunted with him until his retirement. He would have a go at almost anything, day time rabbits, lamping, ferreting and even bushing and retrieving pheasants, but I often felt his size at 27†was a little too tall for my liking. I knew my next lurcher was going to be a Collie cross and after reading quite a lot on this and other forums I have decided on the Beardie half cross. I will be getting a Beardie half cross in the nearest future and was wondering if anyone has any tips/insights about training / working this particular cross.

Done 60.5% Yes / 39.5% No Not at all sure it will have an effect directly, but if as seems to be the case far more people vote yes than no and the results are published in the Guardian at least politicians will be forced to face how unpopular it really is. But then maybe I’m being a bit to optimistic
