it certainly seems that way .....so if you happen to get caught doin something you shouldn't it should be ok if you promise to do a bit of "retraining" .....
Read a bit in a national newspaper about a police dog in norfolk killing a cat....iits also chased deer and killed sheep !!!!! A police spokesman said "one of our dogs instinctively used its training when confronted whith a sheep and cat respectively ,regrettably resulting in their death".........the dog was then returned to frontline duty after "retraining".......I think the outcome would have been quite different if it was a lad out with a lurcher who was found to have done this......what do other folk think ??
Sorry to hear about your dog .......he's caught quite a lot of stuff either just short of cover or just inside cover.......he's a good committed dog an as I said previously prey drive certainly can't be faulted......think it will ultimately be his undoing though ...
My current dog hits cover like a train an has picked up several tears an deep punctures caused by branches etc.....closest was a branch puncture that was an 1/8 of an inch away from taking an eye out....other dogs I've owned over the years have avoided such injuries by an large but everytime he hits cover I'm just waiting on him really doing himself serious harm...has anybody had experience of this ??...can't fault his prey drive though .....thanks
