Lurchers That Dont Jump

[salclalin 240]

and im not talking about fences dividing fields....im talking abiut the boundary fences into woods, paths and roads.

 

are you all talking about the wee fences in between fields?

 

Any fence or obstacle.

It ain't all about catching game.. If I'm out loaded up with ferreting gear I don't want to be putting it down every time I come across a gate that's been tied in place with 100 foot of bailer twine to lift the fecking dog over! Even my little terrier can jump, the little shit learned to do it when we had stair gates in place to keep the kids out of the kitchen when they were small!

keeping a lurcher that dont like jumping,be like having a ferret scared of holes.it needs to be able to jump obstacles

fcuk that. a lurcher hell bent on catching the quarry, going at 35+ mph jumping a fence into the unknown.

 

my dogs jump BUT take a look at the other side of the coin.

It comes with the territory perhaps you should take up knitting if you over analyse everything like this......what do you think of dogs running flat out through woods?

 

Im not over analysing anything.

 

Im making a point that all of you saying a lurcher aint a lurcher of it dont jump.

 

All the will in the world ye cant controll what ye dog jumps. Whether it be a partitioning fence or a fence to a f****n 100ft drop.

 

I dont know what the fields are like where you live but where i run if the rabbits gone through a fence its either gone to ground or away across a road. Other places the fences are out of the beam so the dogs running dark. So pointless it carrying on.

 

Its not the end of the world if a dog dont jump. Aye its good, but not as much of a necessity of that it actually runs!

 

Now if ye talking about jumping gates, fences onto land rather than you pick it up then aye, if you have a big dog then i see how it must be vital that it jumps it.

 

Like i have stated before. Im not putting this point across because my dogs wont jump...im looking at the other side of the coin. Otherwise we would all have the same boring opinions wouldnt we?

 

With reference to a dog running through woods then it depends on the dog and the woods doesnt it? Woods are a dangerous place. Lots of sticks sticking up, trees, hidden wires etc so if your dogs smart then why not?

 

My whippet can handle woods, quick reactions, turn of direction and brakes.......the lurcher no. To fast on speed and slow to stop for my liking and a wood for her would be an accident waiting to happen.

 

But ye dont lamp woods do ye?

 

Thats why i have a whippet for ferreting and a lurcher for lamping. Dogs for jobs.

So of you're out ferreting and loaded up with ferret box, bag full of nets/flask/etc, do you take it all off every time you come to a fence or a locked gate to lift the dog over?

[scothunter 12,609]

For me it depends on the fence, an everyday run of the mill gate or fence, then it's jumping, but we have all came across one of these fences when we are in two minds have we not?

If a working lurcher cant jump then the owner is too blame... how are you supposed to work in the fields if your forever throwing ya lurcher over fences, gates,dykes... even my terrier can get iver double barb wire fences if need be haha

She will jump if she needs to.

 

But being honest here, ye think im going to let my whippet jump a gate 5 times her height and more after i spent over a grand putting her back legs together? For the sake of 2 seconds hassle? No thanks.

 

I do fully get what ye all saying and i agree. But its me whos got to deal with it so be it

[bullmastiff 615]

Always taught my dogs to jump but the dog I got as a rescue hadn't been taught to jump and was a bugger to get over a fence or gate but once he was behind quarry then he'd jump anything!

Tess will jump fence's etc but when she jumps them, she'll try and kick off from the top wire.

Anyone any ideas how to stop her doing it? touch wood, she's never hurt herself doing it but one day she might not be so lucky.
