Bosun11 537 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Bit of an update on our dog Don..unfortunately he has lost his sight in one eye..hes not had an easy passage lol..suffered a broken leg as a young dog plus loads of serious knocks and cuts etc..hes a hardy type and im sure he will adapt just fine..hes still put a couple of big beasts horizontal since this mishap...part and parcel of a working dogs life im afraid..just a freak accident and if he never caught the critter it wouldnt of happened but there you go..we will go back to war with him pretty soon im sure ") Sorry to hear that. My old dog has one eye Andy and is probably just as accident prone as Don (some dogs just are!), mine's caught enough since it happened, you've just got to accept that it can be a bit frustrating for 'em and you, now. I spend weeks on end trying to find critters that only turn right...! Quote Link to post
FUJI 17,287 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Haha..will have to make sure I only slip him on critters which have indicators on then Bosun lol..hes just a "so full on" type of mutt when working he is his own worst enemy at times..I would like to say this might learn him but I know for a fact it won't haha..Birddog thats what I was kind of fearing myself?
