johnny boy68 11,726 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Wat im sayin is it wouldnt be an allrounder for me because i do more than ratsbut, but if some one got a dog for just ratting n ratting only then surely its an allrounder for there hunting needs? Mate if you use a dog for ratting its a ratting dog, same as a dog only used on rabbits is a rabbit dog, how can a dog only taking one quarry or doing what pleases its owner be classed as an all-rounder? I've got a dog here all she does is rabbits but she pleases me but she ain't no all-rounder. 1 Quote Link to post
walshy123 38 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I under stand were u are coming from, but i would say its an allrounder for that persons hunting needs if he does ratting only. Its one of them threads thats going to have alot of opinions lol before u kno it it will turn into a slaggin match "my dog has bigger muscles than yours so mine is a better allrounder" haha atb walshy Quote Link to post
nothernlite 18,090 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 IMHO an all round dog would also retrieve shot game from land and water like a retriever...... What happens if you dont shoot ? Then, again just my own opinion, it would just be an animal that takes a wide variety of game not an all round dog........ i think iceman came up with the right answer what the owner wants it to do i know one of mine would retrieve from water it would do what it was told . But again my opinion of a allrounder is take everything edible atb You are contradicting yourself now you said that the lad with the Hancock dog hasn't got an all-rounder because it dosen't do teeth yet your all-rounder takes all edible game, you eat a lot of foxes then do you? i would class an allrounder a dog that does everything including teeth maybe should put a fullstop behind everything my mistake i will edit it again you happy atb Quote Link to post
Adam_Chuck 256 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 An all rounder is a dog that hunts more than 1 type of quarry. But there are "all round" rabbit dogs i.e ferret, mooch, lamp. So imo there are all rounders and all round specific dogs Quote Link to post
nothernlite 18,090 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 So an all rounder in everybodys eyes is different. Adam a rabbit dog should do all that that is what is called a rabbit dog not a all rounder. An allrounder in my eyes is a dog that does that plus takes all other quarry.Everybody got diifferent opinions so is there an allrounder? Quote Link to post
