spud1977 4 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 never a good thing walking your dogs in feilds full of stock unless you know your dogs inside out and trust them 150%. sheep dogs give lurcher lads a bad name bud fix it or it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideation 8,216 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 You can never trust any dog 100% let alone 150% (?) and many of us walk them through stock. Sometimes it just happens after 1000's of times of walking through herds without the dog batting an eyelash - sometimes its a one off freak and sometimes it's stuck that way. Most dogs will chase the wrong thing in the right situation - some never do, but they still could. That's one of the factors of working a hunting dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Running dogs together often gets them worked up and the dogs try and compete with each other making anything game. I've seen it happen. Electric collars are good as a last resort and they have saved many a dog from being destroyed for worrying sheep. Don't rush into using the electric collar, it's a young dog and with a little time and back to basics you'll probably be fine.
