FF Vizsla

[boombaby]

im sure this question has been posted before but im too lazy to surch for it...anyway with the vizslas sensitive nature...is force fetch training a good idea..or have any of you had experience with training V's...im thinking it shouldnt matter...prob depends on the dog....are there any alternatives if FF isnt working well with your dog...any input/experience would be helpfull...neighbor/friend has a 8month old pup and is uncertain. cheers!

Viz

I have owned 6 of them and I still have 3 that I hunt. The other 2 went to the other side and I sold the other.(pheasant heaven)...
All of them retrieved on their own. I have heard of a few where they have had to FF.I wouldn't do it till you know the dog won't retrieve. At home 2 bring me everything you can imagine and the other does not. She never has but when I take her into the field she has brought back every bird I shot over her. She also is my best dead bird dog too!
