tjones3862 3,423 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 @ Tiercel... Not realy a fan of unnecessary, 'up and over', posed images... Never have been and as I have been saying all my life,..the job is plenty dangerous enough, without playing silly beggars for a photo opportunity. I think a cameraman can get the same idea of a lurcher leaping a safe object, without fecking about around barbed wire fences and suchlike... In saying that,.the more competent, skillful and familiar a working dog is, with all the required disciplines,..the better. WELL SAID,,,WHY ADD RISK Quote Link to post

bob84 189 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Is jumping important for a lurcher its something I've never really thought of till I seen this . I like a lurcher to (hjkcc ) would you really want one that can't jump ? Chases a rabbit and it runs under a fence ,dog can't jump it prob try to run through it and get cut up bad so defo need to be able to jump. in my view jumping is just as important as retrieving . I take it you are newbie to training lurchers and working them .don't mean to be harsh on you but get your dog jumping as it could save it from injury and all so get few more rabbits atb with dog . no not a newbie to lurchers just never trained them to jump all tho she will jump if needs be believe it or there ain't many places where I lamp that there is sheep fencing its all single strand electric fencing Edited November 14, 2015 by bob84 Quote Link to post
Anthony Simmons 22 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Some cracking photos but how many of you lads place your coat or something over barbed wire fences when sending a dog over, recently started to put my wax jacket over just in case of a lazy jump, as said in previous comments a dog getting caught in barbed wire is a season ending injury or worse death, I always like to stack the odds in mine or the dogs favour and making a jump safe is right up there Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Some cracking photos but how many of you lads place your coat or something over barbed wire fences when sending a dog over, recently started to put my wax jacket over just in case of a lazy jump, as said in previous comments a dog getting caught in barbed wire is a season ending injury or worse death, I always like to stack the odds in mine or the dogs favour and making a jump safe is right up there This pup of mine went through a lazy phase Ant, she was hitting the fences with her back end or even chest sometimes. Fences what she had previously cleared. She's got a decent coat and thick skin and the barbed wire wasn't really hurting her, just taking a bit of fur away. It was heart in mouth at times but I know that if I started putting a coat over she would never have learnt and would still be a lazy jumper now. She got a few scrapes and learnt to clear the fences every time. I think we need to have more confidence in them sometimes. I agree we should try to stack odds in the dogs favour, but equally they aren't made of glass and are tougher than we think. I don't think a barbed wire fence being jumped at slow speed or from standing (with you close by) poses a great risk in comparison to letting the dog off a slip lead in the dark in pursuit of it's quarry up to 40mph around a whole host of obstacles. I've seen dogs tangled in barbed wire fences and come off okay (cuts, scrapes, stitches). Not seen any come off so lightly from hitting an obstacle at full speed. Either way, each to their own and fair play to you for putting the dogs welfare first ? 1 Quote Link to post
nothernlite 18,088 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Stop your dog in mid chase and put your coat over the fence then carry on 1 Quote Link to post
Anthony Simmons 22 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Telling a dog to get over the fence and a dog chasing its quarry that somehow made it to through the fence is totally different, my comment was about sending the dog over not the dog going over chasing it's quarry, we have no control over that but we do by sending a dog over and that was my point Quote Link to post
