BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Yeah - got my 7 month 3/4 bred collie greyhound jumping allsorts, wire, wood and stone. He loves it and jumps for fun - need to restrict him now and then immature growth plated and pasterns can get a knock or stressed. Started him off in the hallway at home when he was small. They've got to jump tho eh? No jumping no hunting. I hate to see dogs being lifted over routine obstacles or closing with their quarry then stopping to watch it at one side of the fence as it hightails it to safety. In my opinion concerns over jumping injuries are often used as an excuse for having failed to teach the dog to jump. 1 Quote Link to post

Dog flat to the boards, quarry under, over or through and you know the dog's following it no matter what. I've watched through half shut eyes in the past as they've thrown themselves over whatever was in front of them and felt the old heart palpating and held my breath. Had our share of accidents, trips to the vet and time off to recuperate. But I'd rather that than no jumping. I love watching a good, athletic dog jump well. Funny thing is you can get dogs that can jump some serious heights apparently with little effort - party piece type thing - but when the chips are down and the gas is full on and they're in hot pursuit aren't quite as confident or impressive. Funny that!!! Quote Link to post
