Stud dog 632 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Alot of dogs are so called bad dogs because of the training they have been given or not been given in some cases 2 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I make absolutely no apology for saying this but if a dog bred for purpose does not fulfill that purpose IMO it should be PTS humanely. I would think 99% of dog men nowadays are not near as game as they'd like their dogs to be and would rather do the cowardly act of throwing the dog on the scrapheap, merry-go-round of unwanted dogs, and make a few ££££s whilst doing so. The unfortunate dog probably sees 4 or 5 homes by it's 3rd birthday before ending up in the most convenient excuse of the lot, the dog shelter. It's the cowards way. Like I say I make no apologies if there's any anti's etc. reading this as the RSPCA and the Kennel Club etc. cause the deaths of 1000s of healthy dogs every year. 11 Quote Link to post

lad101 57 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I took the dog off a lad who was unable to look after the dog or he had no interest in dog as felt sorry for conditions dog was in it was very thin and I am pretty sure guy beat dog but couldn't prove it as soon as I got dog home feed it went through it quicker than it went in was very scared off everything had it for 6 months manage to get fit and well but only charged 50quid for it as didn't want it to go shit home as when dogs are free a lot of numptys wants them and cycle starts again and that didn't cover food and vets cost dog went to guy explained faults we dog but I don't feel I have to explain this to random. Guy on net but that story I have nothing to feel bad about so to be honest lad you can say anything you want well surely if you thought he had been beat and was not looked after shouldn't of you waited for dog to get your trust? i had a bitch at 6 months old exactly the same as yours and shes a saluki greyhound now when i first had her she was scared of everything and everyone would walk quite a distance from you when your out would not come back when calling her just a real pain in the ass but i kept her and now shes spot on and id say best lurcher i have ever had. some people aint got enough patience with dogs just want to buy a dog thats already working then moans when its doing what you want Quote Link to post

Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 My worst was a collie/grey/whippet bred by myself from a collie/grey dog that would try anything and a non ped whippet with dazzling speed and prey drive to burn. The bitch was 21 inches but would tackle a full grown dog fox. Her only problem was her feet which suffered on any rough ground like beet fields etc. The dog had tough feet (and everything else) so I thought to get the best of both worlds. The pup was pick of the litter and looked like she had strength as well as speed. Unfortunately she was a nervous type, afraid of her own shadow and unwilling to tackle anything more than a rabbit. At the time I did a lot of ferreting. If she was on the other side of the hedge she'd catch any bolters (she was good at this) but she'd kill and leave them where she got them and return to her post. Every other dog I've reared and trained has retrieved bolters back to the warren at least and mostly back to hand. With her I had to look round her side carefully before moving on. Eventually I stopped taking her hunting and she happily retired to the role of house pet, living to the ripe old age of 19, eventually falling off a flat garage roof I was working on and badly injuring herself, so I had her PTS. She's buried in my allotment now, God rest her soul . Quote Link to post
