Help me test this pup
Ok guys here's my story. I got a rescued pup 10 weeks old ( GSP mix ) face looks a little border collie. My question is how can I test her to see if she will hunt at all. I realize 1 breed hunts while the other heards.

Take her hunting.

Plant some pigeons in a field and see how she does. Hopefully you got the best of both worlds. Shorthairs hunt and Borders are about as teachable as they come.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Re: Help me test this pup
I wouldn't worry about testing a 10 wk old....just take her for walks and let her explore. There will be time to find out what she received instinct wise as time goes by.
That said if you just can't stand it test her with a wing or rag on a fishing pole....see if she has any tendency to point it. Rescues make some wild claims on what
a dogs makeup is, sometimes. especially if they know what you want to hear.

The second kick from a mule is of very little educational value - from Wing and Shot.

This is the dog you said was small, right? Any chance you can get a picture of her up?
Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Absolutely. It just isn't right that we don't get to see her.Cajun Casey wrote:This is the dog you said was small, right? Any chance you can get a picture of her up?

It is the same pup. I will try to figure out how to post her pic tomorrow.
