[watchman 256]

theres plough,and theres PLOUGH.

ok mate,like in the pic if we need to choose lol

hard to tell from pic but doesn,t look to bad.there was a couple of fields round our way you would,ve needed climbing gear to get out of them,lol,too dodgy for the dogs.

get what your saying,this field is quite flat and was ploughed over the previous day,no climbing gear needed lol,cheers mate

Theres not a chance on this planet i would run my dog on plough for a poxy rabbit or two,ive seen a heard of many dogs,breaking necks legs etc same goes for oil seed rape stuble, even if it wasnt the worst outcome the dog could still pick up some bad injury's a be lame for weeks/months through the season meaning that poxy rabbit cost you a season of working your dog and maybe a vet bill! If its for charlie go to nearest field thats suitable and bring him to you!

 

Each to there own i suppose but its a no from me unless its been ploughed then raked or rolled yes! Otherwise no!

Sometimes it cant be helped..

agree but would you willingly slip the dog or not

not my dog think to much of him to break his neck lost a dog on plough many years ago learnt my lesson

 

mate you can slip a dog in a cow field you dont no where it will end up iv'e seen them run down the a17

[autopsy42 1]

Not if i can help it, had a few injuries cause of this, but like someone said the dog goes where the quarry goes!

[scothunter 12,609]

not intentially wouldnt,but one on the chase there not a lot you can do if they run into another field.hearts always in my mouth when i see them doing it .

[nighteyes 275]

same round this way because they cut late the stubbles werent there long cut then ploughed straight after, but ill run on plough aslong as its not rock hard, good stuff sounds like shes doing well

[Ideation 8,216]

Think it's a bad idea but seem to end up doing it a fair bit. . .. . .. but last season did see a bitch do a flying forward flip complete 180 flip in the air and slam down on her back. Luckily she was fine but we did pause for a minute.

its ok in some places round here mate,although some are really desperate on the higher ground full of flint and rocks so tend to steer clear of those ones,and yes mate she getting the idea for a youngster cheers

YEP ALL THE TIME

 

Same here

[FightTheBan 1,147]

Most land here is clay and spring plough turns to concrete quite fast. I wouldn't intentionally slip a dog on it. I accept a course can go that way, but that's the nature of the game.

 

Beside that, nothing much would sit out on plough here anyway.

ploughed not rolled,

[lurcher330 2,297]

i would'nt do it by choice but alot of the land i work would be mixed of ploughted ,stubble and grass and when it's ploughed it is full of slate which is like running on glass so i avoid it when lamping but during the day if a hare or a fox rise's i have no say in the matter they could run across 5 different feild's of all sort's so all ye can do is just hope for the best but i do go through about 3 stapple guns a season

[fensaluki 35]

Lots of very good points and answers for both sides of the debate.Personly I honstly beleive it depends more on the dog than the plough.I have a dog here that I would be happy running on any plough and confident that he would make his work look easy upon it as he has for many years without injury or issue however I have another that even though their build,breed and frame are almost identical just dosn't seem to master the art of it and my heart stops every time he races anywere near plough work as he turns into "bambi on ice" within a few yards on the stuff.

JMHO
