Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Out this afternoon with Gem my collie half cross, just walking along between the river and my local cow fields. I was just doing basic stay and handle signal to "down"... Everything was fine and she was behaving great, often has a five minutes run around and isnt willing to do things instant and the first time of being told. Gem was down and staying as i walked away, was going to go 60 yrds or so around a corner and see how she reacted with me completly out of sight. From off the river bank Came 4 standard poodles, there owners were nowhere to be seen . Gem made a run for it and who can blame her, with 4 dogs chasing her, she had the common sense to turn into a field and i could shout her back to me and thankfully she didnt run along the road and out of sight. Why oh f***ing why do people keep large dogs that they cant control? I could here the poodle owners screaming and shout from half a mile away as i dished out a bit of size 9 to the four b*****ds that were intent on not playing ball. 2 Quote Link to post
