The Downside To A High Drive Youngster ........

[socks 32,253]

A high drive youngster that busts a gut to get its quarry Is a great creature to watch and the pride is overwhelming when it trots back to you with its tail held high and hands you its hard earned prize .....

 

But there is a downside ..........

Looks sore mate.

 

Will that need a few stitches or staples?

[blue staffy 145]

Looks a sore 1 that , my 2 are the same run about daft chasing things not bothering whats in there way there's a few time i've closed my eyes thinking this is going to hurt but i've been lucky so far none of them have had anyting serious yet

[paulf 820]

that's the one reason I have tried to hold my pup back a bit but you cant hold them back forever ...

hope it isn't to bad mate a few staples should help..

[fitchet 788]

Still I'd rather watch a dog that risks life and limb to get at its quarry than a half hearted animal ...

 

One of mine done this in his first year hefty vet bill but the dog wasn't too bothered

 

 

Hope yours makes a speedy recovery and is back out soon.

Hi drive or a lack of self presivation is it one of the same thing?, had a dog the same was a real catch dog but had no respect for itself fractured its skull one night never ran the same after.

however dogs that pull up short of walls and hadges without even trying to apply any pressure can be worse than a cringeworthy course.

Its a fine line hope the dog learns somewere in between.

No luckily .... if it was a half milimeter deeper it would have been a fairly tasty stitch job ... But this was a salt water wash some anti inflammatory tablets and a dose of anti biotics ... Hopefully she will be ok as she has an eight hour shift to do on a rabbit job tomorrow .........

Lol

true though lads would be queuing up at the vets with there 100 notes two weeks off for the dog that would probally pull them out there any way.when it will heal up in the same amount of time on its own and the dog can still run.
