What do you do with your dogs?

[Doc E]

Just wondering what you all do with your dogs.

1. Field Tests / Hunt Tests?

2. Field Trials?

3. Hunting Upland?

4. Hunting Waterfowl?

5. Hunting furry small game?

My answers are: 1, 3, 4, and a little bit of 5.

i dont do any of the above with my Jake......i do take him scouting with me if i can....we're going to go tomorrow a.m., but he's basically just a buddy.....i would duck hunt with him, but with all the gators down here, i think it's just safer for him to stay at home, i wouldnt be able to watch him taken out by a gator.......

My lab Simmon and I do lots of 3 and 4 and some 5

The dogs and I do 1 thru 4 with most of our time being spent on 3. I do shoot a few rabbits (jack and cottontail) that they find as well.

A lot of #'s 3, 4, 5 and we did one instance of #1.

I have Jack Russells and I pretty much only do #5
I wrote a reply to groundhog tips that kinda explains where I'm coming from.
We have 6 J.R. 3 grown 3 pups, all of em are crazy.
If its under 50 pounds and furry they will kill it if allowed.
Usually it only takes one dog to get the job done.
All but one are 15 pounds or lighter
the only big one is the dumbest. I shouldnt say that hes dumb
"HE'S SPECIAL" that one is named Sparky. I picked him and his brother Otis
up off a Amish Guy from Harlan IN. I'd say that Otis is the best Male I have.
But I would say its a tie between him and the oldest dog Patch a female.
they both have had theyre moments. Patch likes opossums and groundhogs.
While Otis prefers huge raccoons. the pups are still too young to go killing coons and such
dont want to break em of their nerve. Well if anyone replies I'll have more to talk about.

I know this doesnt have anything to do with this topic but i dont know how to start my own topic so im just gonna ask here.Ok i have 2 dogs that sleep outside,1 female and a male.well the female is in heat right now and we dont want her to get pregnant so we have our male dog chained out side the pen so he cant get to her.We have cyotes out here pretty bad and i was just wondering if cyotes get attracted to dogs in heat? if anyone could help me out on this it would be appreciated. Again sorry this doesnt have anything to do with this topic.

Yeah they are still dogs!
If they are as bad as you say I'm surprised your male has not been atacked already
a group of em will try to kill him and get to the female[:@]
