I agree taking any animal to the vets to be pts is a bad way to go, they know its coming, rather a nice walk in the field... but in my opinion if you have a pup and you give it a season or two and its not doing what you wanted i.e. a fox dog not doing fox then it should be neutered and rehomed not bred from. If this isn't possible then a walk in a field is a nice way to end it and there won't be any useless pups bred from it that could have had the same fate or worse At the end of the day good mating should solve this meaning more pups will stand a chance of becoming better than average dogs, but there's always going to be idiots about

Ideation, if the dog wasnt up to it at all you'd be able to tell what by the time its 24 month? not a decade? i couldn't get rid of a dog i'd spent that long with

Aye mate, that was my point, the threads about getting shot of an average dog when its working career is over (retired due to age), at least thats what i thought it was about, and what i was saying was, even if it's no world beater, if you have had it around you for its whole working life, surely you have a bond with it that it would pain you to see it just go?

Aye but if it's got as far as being retired through age, it's got to have been up to your standards enough to work it for a long f*****g time ay? If it'd been that average it'd never made it to retirement like you said.

i agree with you there , recently sold my first cross collie grey at 11 month old cos of various reasons nothing to do with the dog and was fairly gutted then. But working dogs are working dogs if they can't work in the prime of their lives then they shouldn't be in a working man's kennels/house dont you think?

So taking old faithfull for a walk in the field,then him looking up the barrel of a gun is better?Quick jab without the blood and snot and he just falls asleep in your hands

thats your oppinion and your entitled to that.

I prefur my own methods why would you let your dog look at the barrel? wait till it pricks its ears or throw it a treat. if anything needs to die it deserves to die well quicklie and out the blue, an end its liklie most of us as humans wont have ourselves sadlie.

Likewise thats your opinion of which you are entitled to....But when I have took my dogs to be pts I have held them and looked into there eyes,which you don't choose to do tbh couldn't look at a dog and then shoot it each to their own.

Have seen dogs not show their potential to about 2/3 years of age.

Many would have got rid by then.

I don't care what the problem or reasoning is, once they are in my home they are part of my home.

Workers or not.

Good or average,theyle be with me till the day they die.

We walk together,we play together,we hunt together,we share & eat what we catch together.

And to the end, together we'll be.

[basil123 103]

in my eyes if it was a real good dog your keep it till it died but if it was a average do ya get rid of it when its past its sellbuy date ?

i think i would jack it all in if i couldnt look after a dog that had done its best for me and had come to the end of their working life, i have pts dogs who would have no quality of life after their work was done but not after looking into every way round it. i think there is a real problem with a minority of so called dog man who have dogs aplenty and are to ready to get rid of them as soon as they get bored or the season is not going their way, to many people are to quick to dump off an easily rehomed animal.i think the key here is loyalty

[sighthound123 31]

fair play to you 6pack, at the end of the day everyones different in the way they work their dogs and like chalkwarren said we must always call the shots and do what we think is best

[prohunter 0]

In my opinion I could never get rid of a dog that I have bonded with even if they were no world beaters, but I do agree I would definitely not breed form them. The only problem I have is when people are saying they would prefer to take their dogs to a field and shoot them rather than take them to the vets, to me that’s ridiculous and I wouldn’t dream of doing so, to me I think things like that give hunters a bad name and we all go on about wanting the ban revoked well if a non hunting person was to hear of something like this going on it would definitely not help with our appeals. But that is just my opinion I put the welfare of my dogs first above everything else, I would go with out as long as my dogs had what they needed and were healthy and happy.
