Peg Dogs

[Llanshooter 0]

I know Sapniels are great for beating and Labs for retrieving, HPRs for rough/walked up shooting.

 

My question is what is the best for a peg dog? Most of my shoot members have labs (black with the occaisional Yellow, but NO chocs).

 

I'm quite fancying a flat coated retriever as something a bit different. Are they god for peg dogs or are they better for picking up?

 

Anyone any sugestions?

They will do either willingly, but be aware you need a sense of humour to own one. They are not as consistantly reliable as a Lab, so if you are liable to get embarrassed/ annoyed instead of having a laugh when they mess about, stick to Labs.

Have you considered a working strain golden retriever?

very biddable and easy to train as a peg dog

Hadn't thought of that. I have read that flat coats can be "slow to mature".

Are working golden retrievers more slender than show trains like working labs tend to be compared to show labs?

its finding a working strain retreiver....as for the flat coat i know a guy who has some close to me mike addison horrible w a n k stain of a bloke!!!

i wouldnt kennel one for fun!!! useless aggrssive hard mouthed and thats just the begining lol..... they were the most popular retreiver in europe during the 1920's theres a reason theyre almost extinct now!!!

 

for a peg dog look no further than a good red yellow or black labrador!!! without doubt the best dog for the job you require....

I agree that the lab would be best suited to being a peg dog, but if you want somthing different and you can find a working strain golden retriever (usually a red colour rather than the yellow/nearly white show dogs) it would do the job just as well.

You may not like Mike Addison, or his dogs, but please don't tar all flatcoats with the same brush. "Aggressive and hard mouthed" are not conditions I ever have to deal with.

Had a look ther - very interesting I've always lie Golden Retrievers. Did a quick Google and came up with Norden lights breeder/trainer. For a trained dog he's talking £4000-£5000!!!!!!!!

 

 

Might nip down to the RSPCA rescue centre and see what's available - Alternatively an ESS pup and some trainingg might be more economial.

 

I do fancy a retriever though

my apologies my friend i have seen a couple of others go i just cant get the pic of one of addisons dogs almost scalping a chocolate labrador on a shoot day for no reason,the pup was only about 11months old and needed stitches!!!

 

theyre all pretty much the same...out of his kennels...anyhow ....if you have god blood great its just a shame the breed is now so rare as a working breed..... bad gets bred to worse and so on and so forth!!!

it's a pity more shooters don't buck the tread and take on the older breeds, then they wouldn't be on the endangered list.

a good curly coat for instance will make most labs look fat and useless.

the older breeds may take a bit longer to come good, but the actual job they do is not hard

working flatcoats,curlies and spaniels like clumbers are part of your sporting heritage it will be a shame to see them disappear
