courtnek Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Zeelah, you dont have to hunt to own a hunting dog. I own two of them and I have never hunted in my life. The allusion to hunting really comes down to giving them enough exercise. With two now its actually easier. Now, I have a large fenced yard, and they both play in it quite happily. chase each other, and squirrels, and the raccoons. They have lots of room to run off their energy. But even without one, enough excercise and good training is really all it takes. they dont need to hunt, butthey do need to exercise. Its not exactly the same as a herder, who are "job orientated" ay job you give them where they can run out their energy is fine with them. A simple game of fetch (for the retriever) and "run" for the hound (I've taught her this command, and left downed tree branches in the yard.) She will do circles around the yard, jump over the trees, entice Free to chase her. Free cheats and cuts her off, but she turns on a dime and keeps going. Its good for both of them.

Queen Bitch Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 Dude, you spelled Dalmatian right and even gave the second "a" a capitalization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolk9s Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 My Belgium doing well! Thank dog I don't have to call him a Groenendael which I cannot even spell without looking much less pronounce. My brother has a Chi-wawa, my sister has a Bagel. I still like to answer the question 'what kind of dog is that' with one word. SPOILED. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mutts4Me Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I understood the DalmatiAn comment, but by the time I read it, it had already been explained :) I'm surprised that there are still people on this board, even, who continue to type "pittbull," "pitt bull," "pitt," "shepard," and "dalmation." I got corrected once about the Dal thing and was cured, lol, and I've seen it corrected so many other times that I know most people have to read it. Same with the pit bull thing. I don't see "shepard" corrected nearly as often as the other two, though. So umm, yeah... Jesse's a Belgium Shepard, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
