Poor Lily :005:
Just let the dogs out into our back garden/paddock, I don't usually let them in but seeing as they only had a short walkies earlier due to the rain I thought I'd treat them :D
Kiara and Poppy spotted a pheasant straight away and shot off after it, with Lily close behind, scampering as hard as she could to keep up :005: The pheasant ran into a bush, as did Pop n Kiz, the pheasant then took off shouting his disapproval at them, it managed to take flight just as Lily caught up and it's shouting totally gave Lily a scare, she skidded to a halt, did a fast u-turn around and legged it back to me, tail tucked and scared whitless :doh:
Bless her - think she needs these gun dog training classes pretty sharpish if she's to maintain her reputation with the other two - they had such a look of disgust on their faces ph34r

I've got 4 not so gun dogs too. Mine have been brought up and taught not to chase anything furry or feathery because we have or have had dogs and rabbits running free in the back garden. The dogs are actually scared of the ducks. But I did take them to gun dog training and mine were the only ones who didn;t chase dummys that were covered in fur or feathers, they just watched him throw it, then sat as still as they had been and looked the other way. Mind you he was trying to train the others to be steady so mine looked great until they refused to fetch. :005:

Thats so funny, bless her. :lol2:
Roly has also been a less than effective gun dog. When he was a pup would retrieve anything that you throw excepting a dummy covered with rabbit fur - I have a pet rabbit ;). Not so picky now though, so I'm sure she'll get the idea.
