If your dog is over heating or cooking on you while you're hunting, I have something that I do that might save its life. Take your knife and cut a 1/2" slit near the tip of the ear. It'll bleed some but that is what you want it to do.......it's releasing the pressure off the brain and head. Have you ever noticed your dogs ears being cut by briars while they're hunting? This is Mother Nature's way of taking care of your dogs!
Sorry mate absolute wives tail that one. Think about it....How does one injury help another one?
Used to be another one here that feeding dogs kangaroo meat taught the dogs to chase them...another wives tail
NOT calling anyone a liar, but.....having saved numerous dogs over the years that were having a heat stroke......cutting an ear tip has NOTHING at all to do with bringing a dog out of a heat stroke. No offense to anyone who believes that, but you couldn't PAY be to believe that. All that would do is cause bleeding, likely a lot of bleeding as ears are known to do, especially since the dog's blood pressure will be elevated at the time. An ear bleeding does not relieve pressure off of anything. If anything, it's just adding to the problem, on top of that, an ear cut takes forever to heal.
