Guest dances Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Well I got to be honest I've had a few; - chief,a 3/4 grey 1/4 bull out of rio. Well I seen him run upto a roe deer and mount it like he was f*****g it. Seen him run a baggie, catch it and do about 40 laps of the field. I also seen him bark at an almost dead fox that another dog had done the hard work on - steph, supposed to have been gaurenteed, well she ran several foxes and just wouldn't connect. Then she ran a fox with another dog one night which she missed. Once the othe dog had returned we saw her chasing a cub barking at it. - zeus, again a dog already doing it, caught several foxes in superb fashion only to let them go. He also ran about 2 miles behind a roe down a road one night. Quote Link to post

I never really got the jacker things, there are some dogs i guess that are just cowards, or can't be f****d. But then at the same time, like you say, every dog has a limit, you could make any dog jack or die trying. Them beasts are a lot more than just flesh and bone. Also i was thinking, i seen a fair few dogs that DO do what is needed, but maybe if given to someone else, wouldn't do it for them (mainly collie bred dogs) and would be seen a jacker. That make any sense? Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Seen a few skid and likes been sad it anit funny... Mate paid £370 for a big strong Sal/Gh type looked a machine jacked on the first rabbit, Had a few skid on me mainly on hare if they couldnt bullie/boss there hare they put the breaks on... And i think every one will own a couple of jackers and if you dont then you anit pushing your dogs hard enough IMHO "And i think every one will own a couple of jackers and if you dont then you anit pushing your dogs hard enough IMHO" You really think that? Why do folk always want to push their dogs to breaking point, rather than push them to the limits of their capabilities but not beyond. They are dogs. Some folk seem to have a f**k load of mutts and other seem to manage to do very well with say 4 or so dogs over ten years. 2 Quote Link to post

People are diffrenent fella some do a lot more than say a bit of ferreting or a mooch once a week, Some are out 3/5 days/nights and there dogs get put throw there paces and will see more in half a season than somes will see in there full working days, Iam not saying pushing it to breaking point (Cause there anit a dog alive that anit got one) iam just saying give the dogs work and ya HARD WORK Quote Link to post

After reading what i wrote again i realized it was a load of horse piss mate! Your right, you can't really find the outer limits of somethings capabilities without going over it! FAirly obvious really And yes i think that was more what i was thinking, if you push and push a dog and then find its breaking point, can you then slightly dial it back and use the dog to its full potential or just get another dog, start pushing again and hope this one goes further before it breaks? Does every jacker need to be scrapped? I suppose it's how it jacks or why it jacks? To be honest it isn't something i know much about (one of the many things ) Quote Link to post
