Sorry to hear that i came close for the fist time a few months back, not something i wish to have happen again, seen it with mates dogs but its a whole new thing when its your best mate that you spent so much time training .
Its the first dog ive lost to a pig or other in 17 years. he caught 1 sow and then followed on to go and catch a large boar. To hot and tryed to hard. Thats hunting with dogs. Cheers all Matt
Anywhere from 10 mins to anything. He was very fit and thats what kept him going. I know when a dog is out for the count. He was gone and we couldnt get him back. We had him in a very cold creek for ages but he had the death stares and i wasnt gunna see him go over a day or a week. Thier internal organs just fry and its not pretty. Take the good with the bad. Thats life , hunting and just animals in general. Matt
Mate, so sorry for your loss.
Nothing anyone can say or do to make you feel better......
As you said, life goes on and so to his memories.
Take care
Aleks.
Matty Im so sorry to hear that. We have had that happen once and know how you feel. Memories and all your pics will be with you for ever. Your dogs are your mates and its alway very sad to lose a mate.......
sorry to hear that matty yea you have to watch over heating with your dogs and also your self a mate of mine over heated while hunting and he got brain damage cause with the over heating he got it was right in the base of the brain stem and they said he was basicly cooking his brain
