Mick C. 229 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Got some lamping permission coming my way soon. Little bit worried about injuries to the dog as most of it is fresh maize stubble. Dont know if i shold leave it until the stalks rot a bit. A second opinion would be helpful Quote Link to post
stormrider8 59 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Im not that keen on running mine on it mate, though i have done. Like you say it becomes softer as it rots down. I think the bigger quarry never used to be so much of a problem but dogs striking low can be a bit dodgy. Just my opinion. Quote Link to post

Trigger 26 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 i run my dogs on every field there is quarry in except hop fields i dont see the point in having a working dog and wraping it in cotton wool. Quote Link to post

Trigger 26 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 think about your dog not your ego big man if i thought about all the what ifs when working my dog i would never leave the house, better not run him on this stubble field he might cut his foot. or perhaps i better not let him run on this nice grass field its to wet he might slip over and hurt his self.
