Are The Best Dogmen Work Shy Dole Bums?

[R.A.W 1,987]

i'd say it's about the amount of effort your willing to put in because if you've got the bug then you make time even if you work 12 hour shifts with a family of 5 .

 

i know a few people with to many dogs and not enough passion to bring them to there full potential.

 

PRICKS IN MY BOOK!!!

Lets face it, its hard trying to juggle family life, full time work and find time to train a pup and give it enough exercise and work to do it justice. I read on here guys with 6 dogs and pups on the way, how the f**k do they manage it? Best dogman I knew was a sponger. Never worked. His dogs were the biss and so they should have been. f**k all to do but walk them miles a day. So what you reckon, who has the best dogs, folk who work or those who don't?

Do you mean the best dog men or people with the best dogs?

 

The folk with the best dogs are the ones who take the time to get the right blood, weed out the shite and have the commitment to put the work in front of them.......if they have a job or not has nothing to do with it JMHO

 

The best dog men are those that take the time to get to know a dog and its moods, read the animal and act accordingly

 

You can be both or one or the other or neither....... again JMHO

 

,...i got a david james bred , 12 generation collie grey...........and i was looking for months .........worker x worker is the best chance you and the dog have got........... patience ,......and trust between you both is a must and the dog needs to know your intentions and the way you think with a good understanding of obedeince ,...all the added ingredients that will bring you loyalty.....

terriers are a big problem with primje examples that if it dont do what it says on the tin then off it goes as a failure or a pet ,...........entering any dog to work is important and to think you can let them off the lead and exspect them to do the buisness because of a few names is ludicrous.....

there are careful people with common sense who understands what there trying to achieve and to its full potential ........alot of it is just logical thinking ,.....which sadly alot dont have ....!!

dont matter who you are or what you do ,....it dont make you a better dog man as we all aim for the highest achievement from the dog and that is too please you at what ever level your happy with.........

well i work longish hours now and my dogs are no better or worse than when i was drawing the dole. ive a big family and there are are on average six to eight adults in my house most hours of the day and night. my kids and there partners have been allocated a pooch to exersize. this is great as my wife feeds and also exersizes them. this leaves me to work on the fitness of any i feel need extra. and i just enjoy getting them out. . works great

 

are my dogs better than a dole punters. ive no idea. but i bet they are better exersized. they dont call me dadolph for nothing.

Anyway, it don't really matter, as long as you derive pleasure from what you do and don't talk mince to all and sundry

 

I know one thing, I wouldn't loose a wink of sleep if someone said " ohhhh, he isn't a good dog man"

 

So f**k, worry about your own stuff I reckon

Also what does being a good dogman actually mean, I bet we all have slightly different ideas about it. To some it could mean havin the fastest/strongest dog thats travels a field in the blink of an eye, to others it may mean being able to read a dog so well you may as well be talking to him and to others it may well be having that sense of completeness when out and about. To me its about my relationships with my dogs and understanding them, in fact sod the material trappings my best ever moments are when my dogs running with the wind up her arse and she turns and gives me that look, that "i love life look" I work shifts and so does my wife so we hand over the batten of housework, childcare etc, I do as much as my wife but I put the time in with my dog, I wouldnt have them if I couldnt and on days off when the boys at school or the wifes got him I dissapear with my dog all day. There talking redundancy at the moment so if it happens I will have more time Then I will try and arrange things with home/employment to improve my situation and have more time, so I think that whatever comes along you have to do the best with what you've got and enjoy your dogs.

there is alway,s going to be one man,s dog better than the next even if he work,s or not ? i did prefer when i worked 6 to 2 day shift and 2 to 10 back shift now i work much longer hour,s so it,s a case of save as much holiday,s as i can and do as much day time and night time as i can with them plus take the dog,s to work when i can

was always taught the more you put into them the more you get out & from experince cant argue with it .

[suffolkpoacher 219]

A good dogman is a good dogman regardless of if they got a job or not imo.

There is no doubt in my mind my dogs would be better if I did not work as you have more time to spend with them and work them harder as working 6-7 days a week digging all day ant easy and does take it's toll if your trying to lamp 3-4 times a week till early hours of the morning walking miles

Didn't we do this thread last year. . . . or was it the year before???

[jambay5 191]

No best dog men are them who never talk about how good there dogs are! Will do anything to help mates out! It's not all about the dogs!! I mean if your a bell end with good dogs! Your still a bell end.

[Ideation 8,216]

Maybe a better way of looking at it is that if you dont work . . . . you don't have ANY excuse not to have f***ing good dogs!

Im lucky as with my job i get a day off midweek sometimes i only work 3 days a week wich is nice. I get up at 4 clean pens out cycle them a few miles on the bike or if its winter i sometimes go out for a shine.

 

Then by that time im pretty much ready to go to work.then back home from work straight back out with them wither just for a mooch on foot or out beside the motor. When im home food then bed. Im quite lucky with my mrs aswell as she knows what the score is and i try to put abit of time aside for her.

 

I try to judge a man on how ge keeps his dogs and how they perform. It shouldnt be about whether they have a job or not ....

No kids mate?

 

lol he would need ta see his mrs for that to happen

take a gap year year to train your pup lol
