I have one bay dog thiswas his 4th porcupine and this is the first one he didn't latch on to but did sit back and bay and got lead training again for it. Never had a problem with them getting stuck in the eye yet. Usually get the quills pulled and back to hunting. Been on hogs aftetwards on most of them. Had 2 dogs get stuck in the mouth then was baying a hog. Couldn't figure out why they weren't catching until we got up on it and found out quick why. We got them bad up this way but they are slowly thinning out for some reason  . Only one way to break them off I reckon and pull quills and keep hunting until that day |

I've run into a few out hunting when I was starting some pups. They didn't mess with them, just kinda hung around for a minute and went on. Now, having said that, I had one walk up to the back yard, climb thru the fence and meander through the yard. Again the dogs really didn't know what to think of it until one tried to smell it a little closer and got slapped. After that the fight was on for sure. In the end, the porcupine lost, the dogs lost and I lost. My bmc's had only a handful of quils each cause I called them off right when it happened, but one of the crossed up dogs I had ended up stretched in the back of the truck with his mouth tied open for about 2 hours till I got them all out. Of the dogs I've seen get into them I hadn't seen one lose an eye. Maybe because they go at it with an open mouth not exposing their eyes to a direct shot or maybe just luck.

The only porky pines I have seen are in the discovery channel or in a zoo. I want to keep it that way... |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
