You see, the thing about "teaching" is you have to know your "students"....there are some folks commenting on this thread that have used dogs on livestock and in the woods longer than most of the others have been alive.. Personally, I reckon they know a thing or two that maybe the "teacher" don't.
It would be prudent for all to choose their "teachers" wisely....
You mean like the guy who said speed was mental lol
Cow dogs and other livestock dogs are not the same subject matter as the hunting and catch dogs I'm speaking of. I think you have your teacher and classrooms confused. Not very effective to have an algebra teacher teaching history would you say? Kinda the hole point I'm making about how different the styles are and dogs are. Just not the same course my friend. For example, just because I know what I do about finder holders and stags, doesn't give me expert knowledge on hounds. Different course requires different teacher. Simple really and again common sense.
Well, my common sense tells me that big o and many like him have most likely been working dogs for longer than you have been alive. He's seen big dogs, leggy dogs, short dogs, small dogs, hounds, curs, bulldogs, etc. And more than likely the vast majority of crosses that are/were being done. You sir, may be an expert on your dogs and style of hunting, but when comes to choosing a teacher on dogs working and hunting livestock would it be prudent to choose a teacher that's lived it for 40-50 years or one that has for 10-20 years?
