would you run your dog ......

[watchman 256]

just to add,its not something i do consistently as the fields don't stay ploughed for long its just the odd occasions is what i meant really

 

 

Yes pal, and we all know what you mean, as i think if something is getting up, it is getting run, your not on your own...

just didnt want the bullshit to start with people thinking i run the f**k out a dog on plough all night,cheers mate

Only if the plough has weathered down a bit by the rain, and never when its dry; we have clay land on a lot of our permission: to run on that when it's hard or freshly ploughed would be a recipe for broken toes or worse. Seen some horrific falls when a dog that's too fast or keen runs on plough for the first time. An over game or inexperienced or brain dead dog could easily really damage itself on deep ruts, and the sharp edges of dry clay can also cut like a knife.

 

Black fen land plough or sandy plough is totally different and doesn't clod like clay and usually gives under foot much better. Pick your plough!

good points

Sometimes it cant be helped..

 

we know the question was would u purposley run it on ploughed fields and yes i do

 

 

 

I know what the question was, but if that winds you up, and warrants banging your head against the wall, well jesus, this site has fallen into the floor..

 

 

I think that some of the scree on mountain sides, or rocks in the dales are much worse than plough, and yes i would run it...

 

hows that lurchermania....

 

yes i agree it probably is worse but its just nice when you make a comment on someones post to leave a actual answer no offence intended and av just learnt how to do the smileys so the last fiew days iv been goin a bit mad on them

ive run my dog on stubble ploughed fields he was run in all the snow and iced fields last year hes now only 14 months old he was started at 3 and a halfmonths and he isnt sliped never done him any harm

[ryno 11]

well it seems that the stubble fields are getting ploughed over quicker and quicker every year,perhaps its to stop poaching/coursing etc who knows but i do like a stubble field to get a young dog on its first few bunnies hopefully for that important first catch,took my young bitch out last night again and she took 3 on the stubble,split a hedge for her 4th which i was well pleased with,nice to see a young keen dog hitting the cover,well for me anyway,ran her on another and it went through the opening from a stubble field to a recently ploughed field and after a couple turns took it well considering the ground.

i have always ran dogs on plough,not as youngsters normally but usually if they are up and running as it were and have never to date had any problems,so that's just put the kiss of death on that then lol,so would you run your dog purposely on it or not?i mean where the quarry goes the dog goes right,so what your thoughts then lads.

 

and no it was not 5 bunnies from 5 slips just thought id point that out lol

come to daddy lol,its home time

i would run my dog yes,now that does,nt mean that i dont care for my dogs because i do greatly,but i have alot of sought after permission and i have a job to do and that is to catch rabbits.if i dont do my job permission gone!
