Biggest Disappointment....????

[BORDERSCOT 3,816]

 

 

This dog out of chuckles 1987. Put my heart and soul into this dog and he was showing very good potential. Gone at just over 2 years of age.

 

 

 

Tough one that Darbo.....

 

it was colin i can see you have been there yourself.i still think about this dog from all those years ago. some stick in your mind.

 

 

I still run the what ifs over in my head from time to time and that must be 25 years ago....I might see a dog that reminds me of the Paddy dog or one of my lot might do something that reminds me....and it all comes back....

I lost a good half x bitch that done everything this type should last I saw of her alive she was behind a fallow and me and friends found her dead in the woods. But one of the worst feelings is having a dog that you've put a years worth of effort into start opening up on quarry.

I had two my brother was out with my 1st lurcher a dhxgh x colliexgh he had a heart attack wilst lamping was a fit dog only had 3 runs that night a hour between each run was horrible feeling and i bet it was for my bro to bring me home a dead dog and my other was my beddy whippet gh who broke his wrist a year after my other died so a double whammy really for me

Mine was when I reached adulthood my cock was a few inches smaller then I'd liked. Oh shit we on about dogs lol mine was a bitch called queenie the RSPCA got hold of her and no chance getting back. She killed field or fen and was pleasure watching her work

25yr ago my mates wee bitch flipped over at the exact moment she caught a bunny as it went into a hole, i broke every traffic law to get her to a vet quick, turned out she'd torn her windpipe from her lungs, all heart the wee thing........ rip brinnie

biggest one for me is my white dog turning dog aggressive .... which now means how i walk and work him as had to change as if he spots a dog in the distance he will run for it ...

so its lamping only and walks on a lead all the time

Know what you mean mate, one of my dogs is this way, got to have eyes in the back of your head when out with him and he's off the lead, lot of the time he has to be kept on a lead, and misses out on a lot of free running it's a sickener for me and the dog

[bryson 562]

mine isnt as serious but for me its my dogs retrieving or lack of i put alot of time in to him when he was a pup and the first 4 or 5 rabbits were brought back to hand over the moon i was until the b*****d farm collie ripped in to his chest while he was retrieving to me now he wont retrieve at all ive tryed everything with him skycat sent me a few emails to help but he just isnt interested

now ive got a pup and im worried about running them together incase he picks up this bad habbit

i say mine would have to be my first lurcher yapping behind a hare and then telling the oldman what he had done he never saw another meal and me trying to be clever with just one last run when the dog had a enough lost a good loyal dog that night through no fault of his own

[PhilProp 51]

My biggest dissapointment has got of been my black dog I have just lost due to thieving scum had him 4 years put all I could into him biked him all year round run him hard tested him n he never broke. He was loyal and the best dog on all quarry you could put infront of him. We had that much of a bond he wouldn't go with no-one else and as a pup he wudnt settle and my Mrs said he's got to go so it took months of an air bed in kitchen then living room the finally fully alone to keep him from goin and taking him work him destroying seat belts car seats. Clothes. Everything that div cost me some money but I would never of let him go for nothing had him at 6 weeks

Keeping two good dogs on an allotment and not being able to find them after the p***y scummers had stole them

My first lurcher Rocky. I spent 12 months battling with this dog. Mentally and physically. Everything from recall, stock breaking, retrieving, food aggression. You name it. We went through it.

 

Finally after months of seeking advice off loads of people and driving down to see skycat and spending the day with her we started making progress.

 

The time came for his first night on the lamp.

 

First slip. Bang. Rabbit caught. Lap of honour and retrieved almost to hand. I was over the moon.

 

Second slip. Bang. Dead. Hit a tree at top speed.

 

Gutted wasn't the word.

 

I learnt so much off this dog though...
