stroller 341 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 just recently had the pleasure of watching a 9 month old border collie mark sets from about 5 yards from the holes she just freezes like a pointer absolutely brilliant. she is a farm collie where i work so i couldnt use her or it might spoil her proper training. My little lurcher marks well but is a busy little dog and allways wants to mooch about Quote Link to post
Brimmer 220 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Nice sensible marking Joe, no daft riving out the holes like one of ours. Quote Link to post
Country Joe 1,411 Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Thats how i like it Brimmer, he is a young dog, sometimes his marking can be so subtle, but i am beginning to understand. Once saw a video on youtube of a marking dog, think it was a Whippet, it whined, then started digging, was down the bury snorting, yet its owner classed it as a marking dog, good enough to put on youtube. 1 Quote Link to post
angusmcfangus 24 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 My wee whippet bitch 15mths, marks steady on some bury's though on others gives a bark. She also does this at patches of heavy cover. any tips that I can try to stop this. Cheers Archi. Quote Link to post

This is our knobhead of a dog Jed, (The one that recently broke his leg) doing what he does, its one of his faults, but a fault i can live with, and one that cannot be corrected. I have found it in the more desperate of dogs, terrier like attitude. You know where you stand with them, even though they will cause you a few problems along the way. His brother is the polar oppoosite, nice steady head tilting and stops short of the holes like yours Joe. A pleasure to work with. Even with faults, a dog that fills the truck every outing, and gives 100% on every rabbit would stay with me whatever the fault. (apart from yapping when running.) Quote Link to post
