low plains drifter 10,403 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 My coursing bred bitch was a natural retriever when she was a pup, but became very possessive of anything she gets hold of, only thing i can think of that caused this is letting her run and play with other dogs and them competing for a stick, ball or whatever, but what can you do, it cant all be handed on a plate lol 1 Quote Link to post

DogFox123 1,379 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Can remember my old 3/4 Collie x Greyhound which wasn't the brightest of dogs getting caught on some barbed wire. He was usually a great jumper but on this day he tried to jump it like he would a gate and vault off it. This fencing wasn't taught and had no spring in it, ended up stuck in his leg good and proper. I was a kid and was panicking like mad because he was on the toes of his back legs trying to support himself, poor dog was shaking. I was shouting and crying for someone to help but nobody was near. I was telling him to stay and was going to run to my nans for some snips, as I started running I heard an almighty snap, he'd torn himself away. Put a massive tear in his skin and damaged some muscle, can get pretty miserable owning working dogs ha. Edited November 20, 2015 by DogFox123 1 Quote Link to post

flipbull 1,139 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 By passing a dog over obstacles the dog will be fine but the owner might not be, could injure their back stretching and be left in agony till they get help which could be hours in bad conditions. 1 Quote Link to post
