dang boys handle don't meen to coddle them lol my dogs have a good handle on em and in 50 years i've never seen being able to control your dogs have any negative affects on the hunt issue . thats why us old farts use to blow them dang horns . it allowed us to call in our dogs from a great distance . now we can just tone em in with the e-collars no differant . haveing a handle on your dogs does not meen they will be up your butt all day just meens the dogs obey the master . calling a dog off a running hog is no differant than telling a cow dog to git out . and when ol gabriel blows his horn them dogs better head for the truck cause i have broken a couple of them [ horns ] on an old nuckleheaded dog or two lol
I somewhat agree with too much handling being bad. Our dogs are hunted 4-5 nights a week. We don't use too much handle at all. We just make sure we have control over our dogs.
Different strokes for different folks.
and brandeek handle is an old dog term for control it applies to dogs and woman and i don't see enough of it used these days lol
