collie/grey 238 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 All my dogs jump, i think it's important for them to be able to where i run them, sheep netting with barbed wire on top most of time, if they couldn't jump they wouldn't catch half as much as they have, if you get the dog confident enough with jumping accidents very rarely happen. I would get annoyed with haveing to lift a dog over every gate/fence, especially when carrying game back aswell. Quote Link to post

Not saying it's compulsary for all but a 60lb lurcher that couldn't jump would be useless for me!! Quote Link to post

weasle 1,119 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 its this barb wire what puts me off mate I think a dogs a lot safer jumping wire than trying to run through it.Its dam frustating seeing a dog running up and down sheep wire ,while you watch the quarry disapearing into the distance .If you have a lot of wire a dog that jumps it confidently,will get hurt less than one that trys to scramble over or through.Jump or not jump a dog might or might not get hurt thats the way it go`s.Your choice.

Guest arch1 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Ossie could already jump when we got him. Theres a fence near us with two top rails close together, when he jumps it (If i haven't managed to stop him first) he dips his front leg through the gap. Gives me the willies every time. Seen him jump a 5 bar gate from a standing start once too. Edited May 4, 2010 by Ossie'n'Arch Quote Link to post
adamb20 22 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 jumping is a must where I go. My dog started jumping when I first got her at seven month, but never really masterd it until about fourteen. Now she will jump anything with precision and only 22tts. My 23 week old pup will jump barbed wire fences allready but she's 22 and half tts. Quote Link to post

jf1970 328 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 sorry if this sounds a silly question but how do you teach your dog to jump,or does it come natural to them? Quote Link to post
