I think theory might be a bit of a strong word, but it's most likely what I would think in the back of my mind. Interestingly though Oscar is very...
Well I suppose if they're skittish they're more likely to be gun shy so I can understand the assumption from that perspective.
Oh totally! Can you tell which one I am?! :101:
I don't think anyone has suggested such a thing have they? That said I think you know that ensuring both parents have good working instincts will...
I have no doubt that had Oscar gone to a working home he would've been bred from. He's got incredible hunting instinct and is extremely trainable,...
Every one I've met has been huge and the coat even bigger! :lol:
The breed hasn't been around long enough for there to be a full on split, but I've been told by a few people now that a split is beginning to occur...
Are you mad?! :lol: I think HWV are a great breed in all seriousness, I've just ended up with freakier end of the scale! They are very sensitive...
I've never said those with the most experience are perpetuating a myth, but I do feel that if people continually trot it out then it'll will become...
If it's not your opinion then why ask the question? Such questions asked more often than not stem from our own belief systems ime. Do you think it is...
You asked if it was fair to question some people who have more experience, which to me means you don't think it is fair.? As far as I'm concerned...
:lol: And you seriously think northern breeds have the monopoly on high prey drive? I know of a GWP that killed sheep at every opportunity it got,...
Brilliant post and it's for the same reason that I often wonder if the whole "no northern breeds off lead" thing is a myth? If high prey drive...
The one thing I've learned about retrieve training is to make it fun, fun, fun! :lol: I'm very guilty of trying to run before I walk when it comes...
Ah good, for a minute there I thought you were suggesting IWS could be in the HPR section, but as they don't point that would be completely...
:lol: Either way historically HPRs point, that's the "point"! If IWS don't point then they ain't HPR's imo. ;) Indeed! :lol:
Do they point then? They look like a lovely breed but sadly everyone I've come across has had a bit of an iffy temperament.
Spaniel: Clumber Retriever: Labrador Setter: Irish Red and White HPR: Large Munsterlander ………but I'd have a B/W Springer and a Wire Vizsla any...
He was a nightmare! :lol: It turns out my dog is too steady! Bloody typical! :roll: There was so much more scent than he's used to his poor nose...
Yes I must admit it is very good advice, I try to remember it! :lol: Thanks. :D I think the dogs have to be under control, otherwise they aren't...
