Title: Another ? on bird dogs Post by: sfboarbuster on October 14, 2009, 08:43:56 pm Has anybody tried a weimereiner (sp). My uncle breeds some real good lookin ones up in illinois. I have been wondering about trying one out.

He got hit by a train and never got to see his full potential but he would stay busy and go hunt, really well built dog too.

All I can figure is that he wasn't a very smart dog.:o He was either facing the train or running directly away from it... judging from how we found him. I guess he wasn't meant to be... it's a shame to because he was coming along real good. I have another buddy that lost two young dogs from a train. They got caught across the tracks and tried to run through the gap between the wheels as the train rolled by.

She also was hard headed, had no handle at all.

As the train is coming at them straight on, they don't realize it is getting closer. Weird, that is for sure. Generally, the tracking collars aren't worth working to get after that.
