dear Foxisle crazy.(izzy lab’s owner)
do i know you? have you met my hounds in person. i dont think so. so just o put a few things straight!
for everyone else this girl. is me! im a 23 year old vet nurse who lives with THREE FOXHOUNDS AND TWO BORDER COLLIES.
these live in my home are not kennelled. choke chains and or slip leads ARE NOT USED ON ANY of my dogs they are controlled by voice. and food based training.
both of my youngest hound,(dog 14mths and bitch 5yrs) are not bred by any pack but by foxhound breeders. the dog is from a world famous kennel in this country. and the bitch that is mentioned in a early blog was a rescue! at ten months old she came to live me.and like ANY other breed a rescue of any kind can come with promblems!!!!
mentioned earlier by FOXISLE CRAZY I go for a walk and leave her 7 hours!!!!
this happened once and because she knows me so well! this blogger is unaware i left her to take a close friends dog to the vets after being attacked while out on that walk, the dog needed 14 stitches to face and above eye…
i welcome any blogger to come and visit my hounds. to meet a socailised foxhound that is a pet and is quiet happy in being so.
my hounds are ambassadors for the breed, we visit discover dogs twice a year, my bitch is a stooge dog for two local clubs, to met and asses dogs before they start classes.
we also visit hospitals old peoples homes and do educational talks at schools.
both my male and female are trained in competive obedience and agility. and we also train in scent work this is called hunting the clean boot. its a human scent laided down a set distance and a set time than the hound is asked to go find the person.
this is the same training bloodhounds do.
BECAUSE OF THIS my hounds are tested with live stock( sheep, cows, horses, chicken, ducks, birds, and rabbits) we are also socialised with cats to.
WOULD CRAZY DOGS BE ABLE TO DO ALL THIS?
so please to other people who do want to find out more. dont listen to chinese whispers unless that someone has real life experiences of they are saying.
