Maize stubble

[stormrider8 59]

Just wondered how many of you will run your dogs on it? Its that time of year again and most is cut around here, it always seems to hold good numbers of stuff but they seem to leave it quite long. Last year my bitch picked up quite a few injuries on it ,nothing serious but it always makes me feel i shouldnt be running her on it, cheers lads.

Magwitch and I walked a field of it Saturday ,just looking for rabbit holes, the cut stalks are about 6inches high and like bayonets,none of my dogs willl be run in it,I value their eyesight too much.

never had much trouble with it,

 

if i wait till its all down and soft and what not then half the season would be over,

So people will disagree but thats there opinion

Good point mate, rabbits could be quite dodgy. Im off out tonight and i knows there loads of it cut..

No I would not run my dog on that stubble, what for to break, it down, a dog can pick up injuries, very easy on wire, +electric, wire, I think those who run it do not value there dogs,

the very same thought entered my head as there is a maize field nxt to my house walking it the other day saw roe rabbits the lot i wont run my dog on it like you say there six seven inches long no run is worth my dogs health or life maybe im wrong as ive never run a lurcher before and wont until next season maybe i might feel different then

Border lad,

Dont talk shit!

Just cause i run my dog on it means i dont care for my dog ye right,

 

Like i say just cause your opinion is not too run on it, dont think people who do dont care for there dogs,

i cant remember what the ground was like riohog but your prob right those stubble fields are either slippy as feck or baked hard i think when its cutt real short so thier aint much left sticking up thats when the problems accure as the stubble is generaly harder the shorter it is

its never put me off running on them tho

you expect injury with running dogs no matter what type of field your running them on

that field is cursed mate it got be happen twice
