Those fences obviously do work for some dogs. The downfall of them for me is they do not keep other dogs out. That may not be a consideration for everyone.

This has been used as an excuse for some time and we can't deny hunting numbers in general are dropping and will most likely continue to drop. However there is quite a lot of interest out there for...
A format where hunters can still have fun with their dogs, like it used to be, would still work. We just have to get away from the current influences.
Not so. Trials, internationally, have a much no longer life expectancy, and while our current trialling models in New Zealand are extremely fallible it is highly possible a new format to test dogs...
You've got a bit backwards there mate. The "look" of the dog was obtained by breeding for purpose. The standards are applied later and is when the breed begins to deteriorate. If bred for purpose, it...
I missed that, interesting.
You see, you still completely miss that it is FUNDEMENTAL purpose that has to be judged, not whether it's back is perfectly straight. No form of performance will ever be judged in a show ring and so...
Put as simply as I can. Showing tests for nothing. The judges are often devoid of knowledge of the breed so instead rely on a written breed standard which can be "interpreted", if it is "interpreted"...
These things are usually genetic issues. Until today i have never heard of a dog having any reaction to pollen.
No breed has ever been improved in any way, conformation or otherwise, by being in a NZ show ring. The show ring has been, unarguably, to the detriment of any breed that had the stupidity to walk...
If the same policy was adopted heree our true gundog breeds would be screwed.
I have a mate in Europe who has them, he really rates them. Once again, get working blood, most of what you will find here will be show blood and while they will hunt they will be bloody hard yakka...
I passed on your details, but he now tells me he wants a bitch. Anyone know of anything flick me a PM.
PM me your contact details, I have a client looking for this X
I agree, I wore a silk shirt today and cried for the caterpillars. :D
Best wishes.
No, it means they think you are cunt.
Nice looking pup. Pro training tip: When you believe your dog is being stubborn, it doesn't understand what you want. Good luck.
There are some things we shouldn't joke about. Many of those Northland sheep have been traumatised! :D :D :D

Yes, this is not from hunting, initially it was, now in advancing years the scar tissue opens up just around the house :(

I'm trying to find the Facebook quote an American Vet friend of mine left on my page regarding the need for docking and injuries he sees as a result of not docking and the cost and trauma of...
You can, so long as you want the last male. And I can;r choose between them, all solid pups, put my name on it!
