Feking barbwire

[Guest world.hunters]

had a look out last night on some new permission where the women wants the rabbits and foxes removed i went down on monday and had a look around in the day time where storm succesfully "retreived" a nice big dog fox and he got a nice bite on his face and then went and had a look with lamp and storm chased a big red rabbit lol though a hedge row and there was 2 low strands of extra thick barb wire covered by weeds nettles and bramble and he must of hit it at full speed which cut the f**k out of him but we didnt here one yelp from him what so ever and only noticed it when we sat down. he was fine walking home etc and still wanted to run but i didnt let him, when we got back i had to pick loads of litttle grass seeds out of the wound before cleaning it. he will be back to him self very soon and it could of been worse.

aye it could of been alot worse im lucky he is a strong dog, at the welsh in the racing he came 1st in his first 2 races then in the fine all the dogs came running back at full speed and he got banged into a car and alot of people were shouting that the dog has broke his neck etc but he was fine after 20 min. like you said mate ill just be keeping it clean with spray and the powder and salt water im sure he will be fine very soon.

Hope the dog is ok , but when you run them in the summer this is what can happen . If you have to do pest control use a gun, i try to run mine from sep , barbwire

is a b*****d any time of the year , but atleast you can see it in the winter. Lurchers

are a tough old dog he should be ok.

my lil terrier had a bad one from barbed wire , she had staples instead of stiches (from the vets)

[Jack NUFC 1]

That looks nasty, im sure he'l recover well, but well done Sir Storm on the retrieve hows the pup going anyway?

 

F.k

Wire tears always look pretty bad but i'm sure you'll do all thats required and he'll be back in action soon.

 

I agree with Bird, summer hunting can be dodgy, with everything high, dangers are hard to spot but when you've got the bug.........!

my dog tipp first night out lampin first run on a rabbit on the lamp coursed the rabbit across the field around a corner out of the lamp straight into barb wire ripped the inside of his back left leg clean open he got his rabbit and brought it back while bringing the rabbit back i noticed his back leg trailing i was so chuffed my first lurcher catching his first rabbit on the lamp and bringing it straight back to me i was over the moon until i took the rabbit of him and he lay down on the ground fu*k the size of the gash on his back leg deep and pouring with blood i fu*king sh*t myself, remember this was my first lurcher.

i carried the dog a mile back to the car drove home half one in the morning tried to ring a vet could'nt get hold of any, stayed up with the dog all night freaking out syringing warm salt water in the wound to keep it clean.

got him to the vet next day and they could'nt stich it up they sayed it was open for to long they put a lamp shade round his neck to stop him from licking at it dog was out of action for six weeks.

i started giving him light road work made the mistake of letting him of the lead we were walking up a country lane he decided he wanted to jump a fence to which i did'nt notice until he was up and over it so i did'nt get the chance to call him of the jump did the same thing to his right hind leg but not as deep and not as bad out of action for another couple of weeks plus the couple of weeks getting him fit again so it did'nt turn out to be the first season i thought it would be, but it was an experience all the same one i wont forget.

 

Two seasons later and the dog has come good im well chuffed, im not one for carring a camera round with me but will invest in one this seaon get a few shots of the dogs in action might even get a camcorder.

 

hope your dog gets well soon lad

 

happy hunting all

 

yours in sport
