Deer with running dogs and sheep problems after?


Recommended Posts

A long time ago, i use to take deer with lurchers. But from experience, found they also went for sheep after, even though they were stock broken from before they took deer.!

Whats other peoples experiences on this in the passed?

I am sure not all dogs would go for sheep after, just mine did and it was the devils own job to break them off it again!!

I dont hunt deer with dogs these days, just rabbit ect, but back then, took a lot of fallow!!!!!

cheers.

if yer dogs dont know diffrence between a deer an a sheep, they are hardly deer dogs, are they????

 

They were very steady with sheep, before they started to take deer, would even course a hare and rabbit threw them and not look at them! it was after taking deer, i found, that they went for the sheep! :thumbs:

if yer dogs course deer week in week out and on the odd accasion fancies a lamb dinner does this not make them a deer dog? if so then shorely a dog that runs rabbits day in day out and also likes too play shake with a ferret is it not a rabbiting dog? :hmm:

Never spoken to folk who have ended up with stock killing dogs after doing deer, but have spoken to folk whose dogs kind of started looking at sheep a wee bit funny afterwards and you had to keep an eye on them. . . . . . i guess just when they started doing deer. And i don't mean the big flocks of slow white ones you get, but the raggedy black mountain sheep, bursting out of cover on their own.

i was just asking a question i dont do much rabbiting bores me to be honest, pretty shore my dogs would shake a ferret though, and my point is that just because a dog kills sheep doesnt mean there not a deer dog. if they catch and kill deer then there a deer dog...

No if they catch deer they are a deer dog. If they catch deer and 'fancy a lamb dinner' as you say they are a pat-licker that belongs in a hole.......

      Morning, taken a step back from quad bikes and hounds - Don’t need the grief anymore. Having moved house my country has changed, curious of those that do hunt the hills with their lurches and a terrier at your heel, how do you bring them on? Getting the right dog for the job is no brainier but what about the training? Thanks.

      **sorry for the double post**
      I know I'm probably going to get the piss severely ripped out of me for asking this, but
      Has anyone ever successfully trained a deaf lurcher (from two working parents and I own her 4 year old sister who is an awesome little bunny basher.) 
      Genetically she has potential, but...what do you experts think? 
      She's not a Double merle by the way, it's extreme piebald/white head. Her vision is perfect
