BEST JUMPERS...

heres one.saluki lurcher

My 22" beddy/whippet learned by jumping the baby's stair gate on the kitchen door when he was a pup. He then progressed to the 5 1/2 ft garden gate.. (not clean over it though) He now shows a willingness to jump most fencing up to about 4 1/2 foot, and can do 7 bar gates, again not cleanly. He's a bit too willing to jump at times though, has my heart in my mouth when he jumps barbed wire without waiting for the command.

 

Any one else try to get their dogs jumping on command rather than doing it off their own back? Mine does it most of the time.

 

Yup - hence the 'hup' command etc. Find its also handy as they tend to stop at gates to road etc rather than fly straight over. Same with getting in/out of car or going in/out of kennel.

Mine's 'Get over it!' Usually followed by 'You daft hairy b*****d!' or something to that effect!

I actually prefer my dogs to jump without a command as while on a run after a bunny they need to jump over obstacles to get the chance of catching it! I'd hate to see my dog watching a bunny running away just because i never told it to jump the fence!

 

 

never a truer word spoken...

I was at a dog event at the weekend, my dalmation/collie holds the long jump record at 16ft, she was thrashed by a deerhound/greyhound jumping 19ft on the sunday. Awesome dog, didn't even really try! :notworthy:

 

Was that "Jal"?

 

My lad has done 14ft over that set-up, it's my fault he hasn't done longer: I can't keep his attention and he gets distracted... he'd do better I think if a lure ran underneath it, rather than doing a recall over it. Height he doesn't have an issue with!

It's not a regular ACES dog, just someone having a go with their pet. Kody jumps best for the flirt, try letting someone release your dog for you and work the flirt the other side of the jump.

our saluki x grey will jump anything easily ive never seen him struggle, cant keep him kennelled though the big get

Collie out of that lot but the best dog of all would be a collie grey, trouble stopping mine jumping.

I heard that a lurcher holds the record for the high jump.

not sure if it still holds the record but it was a deerhound lurcher which held the record a few years back.13 1/2ft.

Seen a whippet go over 16ft, whippets have the highest strength to weight ratio, that's why they are only marginally slower than a greyhound, even though they are much smaller. Always trained my dogs to go "over" and "under" on command, sometimes it's not safe to send them over, seen dogs bouncing of 12ft security fencing, even though they could squeeze underneath.

My dog will jump wire fences cleanly, into artic trailers and even over pheasant pen sections but will not jump a 5 bar gate its embarrasing leaving him sat there whining trying to get through it so I end up lifting him over

I had a Lurcher 20yrs ago who would Clear a 5 bar Gate with ease. If i sent him over one he would fly It,If i called him back over the Same Gate from the Other side he Would Run up to it and Stop and Whine.He did to every Gate he Encountered.Strange.
