Dogs hitting cover

[lilpip1234 62]

Whats your views on dogs hitting cover after quarry, personally i like my dogs to do so think it increases catch rate but hearts always in my mouth the way my old dog hits cover and last week he came a cropper with a piece of metal tucked away in the hedgerow coming up six this january first serious knock due to hitting cover this is the injury before being patched up.

yeah it happens, if you work your dogs its gonna happen at some point hitting cover or not.

this was my oldest dog a few year ago, hit some low barb wire that was overgrown and cut above his eye.

few staples and healed in no time.

I was mooching today with a very good mate my jack russell bolted a rabbit from cover right in front of 10 month old lurcher the rabbit ran in the next bit of cover my lurcher was on it any way he hit the cover so hard and court the rabbit if he carries on doing that I be a happy man but with working dogs an injury will happen from time to time

anyone had experience with muscle being sliced aswell and how recovery wise things went. All part and parcel with working dogs been lucky up till now touch wood wont have another one like this or worse for a long time.

There a diffrence between a reckless dog hitting cover, And a dogs thats good around cover IMHO. I love a dog too be good around cover both day and night hate seeing dogs pulling up 10/15yrds before the hedge.

 

Dont know about anyone eles but most of my catchs/Runs iv see % get caught at the last second on the hedge so it does help the catch rate

[ferret-boy 44]

Yes i prefer my dog to run into cover,,

There's always a chance your dog is going to get injured,,

But its a chance you take,,

[Guest dances]

One of my favourite attributes to lurchers with bull in them. That and the commitment they do it with

[paulus 26]

just my view but theres something missing from the dog if it dont hit cover, if you only have small fields then most things will be caught at or in the hedge.

at the moment most of my pups catches have been from rabbits hitting the fence and bouncing back out or going into cover then running back out. no idea hwy they do that as they were safe till they decided to come back out.
