Surley its going be no different from stock breaking to sheep, cows, horse or anything else, if its not the inteded quary preban

 

If you run deer pre ban, or run with other lads dogs on deer preban.

Then I think you would need a very discplined dog to call off its intead quarry mid chase.

 

I think even working a dog from your side with no slip is different from stopping a dog mid chase.

The dog it your side is under control. were dog chasing should be giving 100%.

There's a great diffence in starting from scratch, but with a dog whos wed to them it's very hard to do!

You can break a dog to anything as a youngster it's no big deal, but how many lurcher folk really have the inclination, experience or patience to do this?

A point and slip dog is easy to have, a dog that's trained takes time ;-) I know which I would want to walk out with.

So if you can't call it off quarry, it's just an untrained, point and slip dog?

While I admire anyone who can train a dog to a high degree, I allways have a niggling little worry about a dog that can be called off it's quarry in mid-flight !

 

Of course, Levs didn't claim he could call his dog off mid-course, he has it trained to NOT run certain species, which is his choice. There's a massive difference between training a dog to ignore certain quarry, and a dog with no "heart", usualy known as a "jacker" !!

 

I certainly couldn't call my dogs off anything, mid-course; so if anyone wants to call them "point and slip" dogs, they're welcome, but they do the job for me !

 

Cheers.

Yep, it's just stock breaking, which is a basic.

 

You could probably break it to rabbits if you tried.

 

Impressive in some senses, but not a must for a lot of folk, and that doesnt makes their dogs untrained or them bad trainers!
