You may slip the dog on wheat stubble but get run onto rape stubble, not a lot you can do about that, but I agree, 18 inch hard as nails shards I would avoid like the plague

only time ill run rape stubble is november time after a good few frosts when it becomes brittle but most of the farms round here will have it raked or ploughed in by then,but fresh rape stubble equals vet bills imo

This topic comes around every year about this time: I'd say don't do it: why bother risking your dog's eyes for the sake of a few more weeks? At one time I used to follow the combine round waiting for the foxes to come out, before I knew better. Never had a dog lose an eye, but had one impale its nostril, and another drive a stalk straight through its foot: not nice.

It happened to me last Sept,dog took the large rabbit through an open gate onto the stubble,after a couple of bends she connected with her quarry,she retrieved it and also picked up a couple of rabbits on the way bac to the car. Checked dog all over before kennelling for the night,next morning bitches eye looked deflated,turns out it was punctured just off centre of the pupil, had her eyelid stitched closed to encourage blood vessels to travel in to the wound,after 3 weeks stitches were removed, eye had healed really well, now only left with a small grey scar on the eye.

I think it can be hard to tell the difference between the stubbles on the lamp so I try to avoid any stubble that's not shortand tight

what happens if a rabbit runs of the pasture field on to the stubble do you call your dog back

I agree with everyone else i wouldnt.. I exercise my dogs on concrete hardens up there paws incase they did ever run onto it by accident. But am sure some lads on heya dont care about stubble and what it would to there dogs. I have seen lads runing there dogs on it they are f*cking idiots..
