does being spoilt effect the way the dog works

[huntingalltheway 2]

Most lurchers are the biggest piss takers going give them a nice comfortable house to live in and they will repay you by taking your bacon from under the grill..... while its on even after they have been fed.

 

My dog lives in the outhouse at the minute.when ihave finished my kennel she will go in there along with the new dog.I had my old team all kennelled, to me they seemed to be much sharper when living together outside.Seems nearer to a dogs natural enviroment to me.

thing is with dogs if there not used to a house environment they wont behave well inside its common sense if you bring a pup up and set him his boundries like you do with everything else he will know what he is or isnt aloud to do in the house. generally the prat dogs are dogs that have been kenneled for ages and then aloud in so its all new to them so they will push the limits. i dont mind doing it either depends on my circumstances as i agree with that having them in the house doesnt change there work ability but when needed there outside ie full house or going out

it makes not a jolt the dog is a pack animal and your supposed to be its leader they enjoy your company and after a hard day or nites work a warm room is better than a outside kennel and of course its there if some fecker trys to break in the house when your out each to there own everybodys gotta different take on it you just got mine!

I personally find the reverse also to be true a dog thats kept inside regular will not take kindley to been put in a kennel for what ever reason.It usually results in wimpering or full scale crying.

[runforyourlife 361]

mine was kept out side for about 4 weeks then some wa**er tryed to rob her since then she has been kept in the house. her working ability is outstanding. if you came to my house during the day you would not beleve she was a worker the way she is around the house and with my kids(they have rode round on her back and she dont batter an eyelid) pluss the otherhalf spoiles her to bits. so as to you Q no i dont think it makes a diffarance at all.oh and as for nettals they dont bother her if there is quary she will have a go at getting it were eva it be in beambles, jumped into a ditch or pond and ive even seen her trying to get up a tree after a squarrel

 

 

 

All lurchers are this way inclinde. They are all soft with kids, and love the warmth and comfort... To let something sit on a lurchers back is quite ridiculous it say the least!

Add my pennies worth. Makes absolutely no difference. I can see benefits to both keeping a dog outside or inside, especially in the development of puppies etc. But a cared for dog kept in or out makes no difference to their working ability. I thought like this when i was young and full of expectations.....i eventually got a bit more wise.

[THE DEMON 93]

i prefer to keep my dogs out side but it would not change there working ability one bit if they were in the house its just the shit and piss prefer out side atb

hi there is there a diffirence in the way a dog works wether it lives in the house rather to a kennel cheers

 

will it effect there working skills

i would say yes after the other night out ,i went to show some one how good my dog was ,because this person was looking for a dog to line his bitch ,my dog looked a twat ,he had a few runs and mised every one ,usualy he would have caught them ,i will add ,the moon was up a bit ,it was also quiet with thick fog ,and there was 3 of us ,plus my dog could not stop craping he had a bad guts ,but i put his one and only terible performanc in 6 years down to living in the house ,i cant seem to find any other reason .

It was nothing to do with the dog fella it was the conditions imo...that little dog tried his heart out,stamina of a marathon runner look forward to seeing him go on a better night :thumbs:imo it makes nno difference in or out

I dont think it does make any difference, I like mine to be in the house with me, and also another benefit of being in the house is after the dogs been working and your stroking it your more likely to find any injuries or thorns on them which may be overlooked if kept in a kennel. I guess its what suits you best.

whenever i get a pup it spends the first couple of months in kitchen getting house trained and socialised with my kids after that they go into kennels but still spend time in house most days.

its always a good thing having them house trained just incase they ever get injured and they need some one to one comfort.

i find most houses have there kitchens tiled so where is the hurt having them in, esp after they fill your freezer ,put there lifes on the line for you so it aint that much to ask is it ?

[MrsChamp606 553]

makes no difference,despite the shite spouted about it.

Agree 100%

 

110% agree

[mark739 1]

it,s not where you keep them, it,s how you treat them the better you are to your dog the better they are to you

100% agree with that, you work for them they work harder for you!

[Mick C. 229]

Of course house dogs will work.I Have the old bitch which is still working by me right now.The point im trying to make is if youve got the room and time (sounds like a lot of people havent)then build yourself a decent kennel and a good sized run.

 

The lurcher is a natural born hunter/theif, thats what the travs, drovers and any other people that lived of the fat of the land bred them for(they didnt have houses).I wouldnt be looking to supress these qualities with house rules and over zelous momicodling,i would be seeking to activley encourage it.

 

Moreover a hard standing and plenty of large meaty bones will keep there feet and nails fit for purpose.

 

Regarding bonding there shouldnt be a problem if you and you alone take there food and water to them groom them clean them out and exercise them, nearley forgot,and hunt with them on a regular basis.The dogs will be ready and waiting eager to see you in the morning or when you come home at night.Absence makes the heart grow fonder is a very true cliche where dogs are concerned.You can always inroduce your family to them once you have become a part of the team.

Dogs have there own language and laws when socially interacting when kenelled up.Its good to watch read and most importantly learn from.

Thats how I see it.

imho you get a hardier dog if they are kenneled, thats why I prefer it.

Hooray1! Here Here!

 

To see the grey winter bloom come through on a bedi lurchers coat is worth all the effort in making a decent kennel.

 

This occurance never happened when i kept her inside.
