Shaun u knew stubby

any too any of you including you choccy

what makes a dog from the same Sire inherit some fings? like

Poppy will always plop in water as did Stubby, if she can find it esp after a run like today?

Genes?

does ur Bitch do it Chocky?

[shaun v 3]

i dont think its a inherreted thing as most dogs will do it if they need to cool down,

some just like to do it in style, one mine of used to jump into stone troughs and lay there chillin

[tiny tim 22]

yeah flynn.she does exactly that.if it wasnt for the white on the shoulder.they are identical.we have also spoke about the bouncing in cover when hunting up. all these must be inherited traits.certain strains of dogs must all have different traits,catching styles, retrieving.weird really when you think that they live 100 miles apart,grown up with different dogs and they show the same characteristics.just wish as you probaly do that she would stop lying in dirty puddles

[Guest CharlieC]

mine are the same lol any mucky puddle and theyre in it, cant stop them its like a magnet, the muckier it is the more they want to dive in it lol lol

dogs definately do inherit hunting styles and wee quirks from their parents though, "smiling" is one thing that Ive noticed gets passed down the generations. My dogs are all inbred and they have very similar characteristics, they are like clones lol lol all the same markings etc, they hunt very similar style and act alike in a lot of ways. The more you inbreed them the more alike they get I reckon

[Guest trev]

Hence the reason for linebreeding, to try and keep the good traits so you will get as good or beter than what you already have, but it also follows through for the bad points aswell, knowing when to make the change is the important bit, but thats a whole differnt subject lol lol.

 

This should, or at least could be a very intresting thread.

[Flynn 314]

Well Poppy will lay down in freezing Temps too gawd then you end up mucky too

The Bitch Lotti the Snatch FLC has chomps or nashes her teeth when she gets excited and MOST of her offspring do too all out of Chance and the mean streek

maybe thats what made Spodge the great dog who knows

My collie x is exactly the same he gets hot real quick and always lays down in water for a cool...

I remember reading an article in a husky racing mag a while ago about studies they did on dogs heating up, and it was found that if the dogs heated up to a certain temp, they would never 100% recover from it, their performance as racers declined afterwards, they regained about % of their original performance but were never the same dogs again.

 

Now I dunno how well that relates to running dogs as they have thinner coats than huskies and obviously cool easier, but ever sice I read that I have always been careful to make sure my dogs dont overheat. I think theres a good possibility that allowing them to run to the point where they reach a certain temperature (wish I could remember what it was but it was a long time ago I read it) can cause them permanent damage

 

Will try and find the article and post it here, it makes for very interesting reading. It seems to suggest that if a dog is subjected to exercise and reaches a certain temperature, it permanently ruins the dogs future performance

Interestingly the litter from Rosie 3/8th 5/8th bull *grey & Stubby first cross* Sal

was a missap and altho some had hoped the collie My Sons, was the Sire i rather think either way this mating has turned out some good pups so this is not a line bred litter. Chocy has made the most of his bitch and i know he is very proud and rightly so! but he wont ever take the praise he so deserves ,He will say its the breeding..... i might say its both breeding & training.

I feel sure Learner can have some input on this sooo Learner where are you :friends:

Note while laying in puddles is seems quite common its the drinking in em thats the danger

I heard tell Ian you do it to

i think the term is Blown Charlie releasing toxins into the blood stream and then the dog is in big trouble but i dont know either the temp but a dodson & horrel feed adviser years ago based his research on huskys... his findings were quite a read.

Therefore prevention has to be the key so we dont see many BLOWN dogs these days and thanks to easy available electorolites if i am on the same train of thought as your self ?

[Guest CharlieC]

yup! I think that might have been the same study I read about.

How is Rosie these days? I havent seen her since she was a pup, but I liked the look of the bitch, nice stamp of dog and nice markings

[Flynn 314]

She is great Thanks quite the Lady of the House but when she puts her hunter head she is what HM made her ... however she wil never be the Bitch she was as i have spoiled her rotten but she was a Gift that has been a life saver for me for which i shall be forever in debt.

My old lurcher used to 'bounce' in cover, she would look to see if the cover crop was moving where the prey was going, clever things dogs ...Most dogs will copy you and smile, they mimick their owners, happy owner happy dog :friends:
