Adam_Chuck 256 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Jackers....a dog tight on a hare when the hare goes through a gate or sheepwire fence n the dog stops its a jacker and shouldnt be brought home.a good dog should bust hedges if tight on a hare.full salukis run on the fens n then brought to ireland are notorious for this thats why their breeding whippet into them. Is it a jacker or lack of experience around different obstacles ? Quote Link to post

desertbred 5,490 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Every owner should understand and know the capabilities of thier dogs, obviously some dogs dont have heart for the job but some that are labeled jackers are put to the slip out of condition and in general poor condition then when asked to dig deep they come up wanting this is down to the wasters who cant manage thier dogs or get the best out of them 2 Quote Link to post
DeniseBrophy 42 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 as with every aspect of the dog exaggerating the dogs good points and ignore the owners unwanted points ! Quote Link to post
Giro 2,648 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Do you belive every dog that fails due physical or mental issuse is blameless and the owner would be at fault ??? I Think thats pish myself, whats your rational ~ theroy behind, "as in the people who refer to there dogs as jackers passing on your own bad management and inadequacies is just that joke!!! " If a dog is usless, you cant fluff that up anyother way. If its injured thats a different story or been push beyond reasonable limits, entered in correctly and over matched. Then I belive the handler would be at fault. Quote Link to post

mucky paws 495 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 an over used word is jacker, normally to cover the inadequacies of the owner or to justify the need to get rid so as to make room for the next wonder cross. ive a dog here that will run himself to death before he will pull up or give in, does that make him a jacker ive got an old dog aged 10 who`s lost all his pace, does that make him a jacker ive a young dog here, who, when aged 12months couldnt catch a poatage stamp in a postbox, did that make him a jacker preban ive seen dogs that didnt like the sharp end but were mustard on hares, did that make them jackers i ve also preban seen dogs that excelled on teeth and hoof but couldnt hold a feather to a good winter hare, did that make them jackers as i said a word thats very over used no if a dog is up working his quarry,and for what ever reason pulls off,now be it lack of heart or wind,,,,thats a jacker youll give it a chance adog can pull a musel,but do it a second time his gone 1 Quote Link to post
