skycat 6,173 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 A long time ago I had a similar experience with a young dog faced with a partly flooded earth for the first time: she just did'nt know what to do: and it was only her third time out to ground. She went on to work consistently and well, finding in very big earths and never ever quit again: and even though she hated water she went in later years to succeed in flooded earths and all sorts of awkward situations. I'd give him a chance, if he's only just started working. Its far too soon to write him off yet. Quote Link to post

PBurns 9 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 If you stay with a dog and give it experience, in the end it will probably do the same for you. Nothing fails a dog more than a human that will quit on it. Have patience and soon enough the dog will likely have perseverance. P Quote Link to post

TimJ 0 Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Ditch Shitter, if you use that phrase , I would take the word "probably" out of it. Quote Link to post
celt 1 Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Excellent phrase, I was just thinkg about flooded earths and my experience of them, an area where my brother and I work terriers in beside a large lough in NI. We come across this flooded earths a bit there and also on the mosses where we dig too. So far this year we have noticed more flooded earths, or at least with a drop of water in them. What does anyone else think? My brother has more experience of these earths and when I spoke to him on the phone before said, he trys to keep pups and first season dogs out of these types of earths as they can put them off. What he did say he was going to start doing was getting the dogs into water more as pups so it doesnt discourage them too much. What do you think as some of our workers now do not like water but will pile into a flooded earth. Overall don't get discouraged, try them in simpler earths and make your decision after that Quote Link to post
