borderbob Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 as some may know i inherited a cattle farm and two bcs from my dad. we had to sell offsome land and all the live stock. my question is has anyone had a working dog stop working for a period of time and then start again? we are thinking of cattle again. i have about 45 acres fenced off for cadaver and sar training, but the bcs need to work.

stockdogranch Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Like most things with working dogs, it really depends on the dog. However, from observing people who come pretty intermittently or randomly for lessons, sometimes a year or more apart, most dogs seem to pick up right where they left off, as if there were no time in between. How long has it been? A ETA: OOOPS!!! Sorry--I just realized this was in the ask the expert section. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I doubt if you will have any problem. It may take him a bit to learn to work for you but the desire to work should remain intact. Good luck Beverly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
