We couldn't give 2nd chances. Full of sheep up here. Virtually every field. Plus all shapes and colours.

exactly. We do a lot of sheep farms. Summer months are spent walking the pups on leads in and around livestock.

I've a terrier spaniel here... Started off really well until she got full of confidence and went weird with stock, can't trust her anywhere now! Shame because she hunts as well as any I've seen... But she'll find sheep even when they're not there to be found she even speaks on them!! She's been corrected a million times for it in all sorts of different ways, lucky for her the Mrs has a soft spot for her so she's stays here as a pet.

not having a go at you lad but when you say she was corrected a million times, how many times did she actually do it. Did she ever attack one

Ha yeah bit of an exaggeration on my part, she was told a good few times I gave her plenty of opportunities to change her ways as she was showing good promise!

 

She attacked 2, first time was out in a wooded area when she was young then I bought a collar tried to correct her that way. 2nd time we were hunting a forestry block she took away from the trees on scent under a fence and took another down in a field. She's never been off lead since around stock, it's just not worth it. The Mrs was happy to keep her as a pet so to save the dog that's how she is now. She doesn't hunt with us any longer!

That's a shame that especially if she showin good promise. Wouldn't be too much of a problem for me as there are no sheep within miles of me or where I hunt. I have to drive 25 minutes just to get the dog amongst sheep to stock break them.

Got a few camping trips booked this summer on working farms were sheep roam freely round the campsite to spend plenty of time with the pups and stock.

Sounds like heaven... Can't turn a corner without seeing one here. If they're not in fields Theyre turned loose on open hills! Weird as I've done nothing with the lurcher and he's spot on..

You'd think with that much exposure he be used to them. Maybe try beating it with a bigger stick haa
