jayjay 264 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 what are your opinions and thoughts on whether a dog or bitch works best for you ? reason i'm asking, is - i was talking to a chap the other day and we got on the subject of working dogs and bitches, and he said he prefers to work dogs because he feels he's to hard vocally and in temprament to work bitches, and he feels for that reason he does'nt get a good response, and cant get the best out of working bitches. cheers, all the best, jay.

Lab 10,979 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Dogs for me. Cant be arsed if you get a bitch who comes into season when your half way through the shooting season. No use to me. Like the stronger athletic frame of dogs as well for speed, swimming and jumping abilities too. Down side is dogs can be dirty b*****ds and some tend to piss wherever they like.....

paulus 26 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 ive got both, dogs tend to be stronger in general and as already mentioned no seasons, loyalty wise carnt tell any difference.the same with training no difference. if i could only keep one it would be dogs.

bird 9,873 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 dogs all the time, get the right dog, and just as loyal + bidable as any bitch. And you aint got all agro when they are in season, and alot of bitches even after there season(heat) take a while to get to the level they were before.! I had a bitch for 14 years, she was great worker, but her heat did affect a month after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,467 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Next lurcher I get will be a bitch, that way it won't be pissing up its front leg and jumping up or walking it on stuff like this dirty fecker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Duncan 802 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I find bitches more biddable, but to be fair my dogs aren't far behind. A lot reckon that the opposite gender of the owner works best, not sure why. With regard to the OP and a harder voice possibly being too much for a bitch; I think that's more to do with the breed mix. Eg anything with a bit of bull in it seems to have a more robust temperament than other breeds and do better with a firmer owner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DK10 1 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I think you will get good and bad examples of both. I would say my preference would always be bitches i find they are more loyal to me and respond better to my command and a little less head strong, however i do agree with lab-tastic it is really frustrating when they come into season. The best working dog i have ever seen was a bitch her prey drive was simply incredible and she was every bit as powerful as a dog. Bitches every time for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
