genuine 81 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) In theory you can see why people don't like to use collars in rocky places, more chance of the dog getting snagged up, hanging etc the list goes on. I've seen it done and each to there own. I couldn't shoot anyone down that refuses to collar a dog up when entering rocky places. If you did ever lose a dog with no collar you would likely ask yourself over and over if only I'd put the collar on would things be different. But at the same time if you do a rescue dig on a dead dog snagged up by the collar or hung you'd say the same thing. Some places looks are deceiving there's places you d here look like nice easy dig earth, They're far from it each and every hole in there is shafts. It's a risky business it's a chance we take no matter what earth we enter the Warriors. Edited February 2, 2015 by genuine 4 Quote Link to post

neil cooney 10,416 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 maybe the collar will cause a hang up one day but at lease you will know where its hung up? Exactly, surely roots are a bigger danger to get under a collar and that rarely happens. 1 Quote Link to post

bunny tickler 876 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 i rarely used a collar in rock ,you can usually hear a dog deep in the piles if you cant hear it it ,its very deep , ive had some huge digs to stuck dogs makes you think why you do it sometimes for sure but its in your blood , we had a 3 day dig with some bradford lads who came over & got their dog stuck , you could have near enough put a house in the hole lol , got the terrier out though , well worth the hard graft for it , ( BELLA ) bitch 1 Quote Link to post
