Nik_B 3,790 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Just questioned the wife more the specialist said he was very lame but that he was a very stoic dog and didn't want to show pain. Definitely not caused by arthritis which the anti inflammatories should have helped but didn't do a thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,437 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Sounds like he's been a good companion to you and your family over the years, you can't put a price on that. Good on you for doing what you can for the mutt pal, fingers crossed you can get it sorted and he'll have a good few pain free years ahead of him Edited May 19, 2017 by BGD 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I sent him to a professional gundog trainer once (when I was working overseas) it was supposed to be for two months and after 4 weeks I get a phone call saying you have to take him back as he is untrainable...when I got him back he couldn't even walk to heal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In hindsight he could have made an amazing rough shooting dog as he has no fear of getting in to cover which is rare for labs. Once I discovered good places for him to hunt I had more fun than I've had in 7 years of shooting just watching him put up birds. He is still an arsehole though lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
