rob190364 2,594 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Anyone got, had or heard of unusual dogs being used for different types of hunting and how good were they? I've seen posts mentioning pure collies lamping, alsations marking, akitas marking, that dreamer that was going to use a minature poodle as a busher....just wondered if anyone else has anything or has heard of anything that might be a little bit out of the ordinary? whether purpose bought, or whether you used it because you just so happened to already have it as a pet?

leegreen 2,222 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I had a Pit x Bull dog (a rescue dog) for 12 years used to go ferreting with me in fact it went every where with me and was a very good pet/gaurd/companion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Last year one of the guns at the shoot i pick up on had his wife with him and she was working a poodle. A big black f*****g thing. It was a right pain in the arse cause it was picking all the easy 1's and i had my young pup out for a look that day and was hoping he would get a few nice easy retrieves. It didnt listen very well and it dropped game if it seen anything else it fancied picking..... Basically a picker ups nightmare!!!... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably do a job but this one didnt. Cant see it getting close to a Lab or Retriver at picking up though....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob190364 2,594 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Labs. . . . for hunting cover. how does a lab go on in really thick cover? do they just push through or pull out? my uncle had a pointer x alsation that was about lab size and it used to just plough through even thick brambles, quite impressive for a big dog!
