Oh? Do tell! Was it you? I seem to recall it was something big and dopey (the dog, not the owner)....DezB - Member
I don't believe that was a lab. Or a "poor guy"
What you need is a dog collar that explodes and blows their head clean off..
My father in law would echo that sentiment. He's trained three balck lab gundogs over the years, but they bought a scarily expensive lab last year, and it's chuffin' mental. Won't do anything it's asked to - very rarely off the lead. Causes huge amounts of strife, swearing and arguments!
my mate eventually arrives on the scene to witness me holding the sheep from the rear with it bucking about,
Amazing story you had to make up to explain what your mate saw you doing. Why not just own up?
Just saw this on twitter;
[i]TERRIFY deer by randomly shouting 'Benton' whenever they are nearby.[/i]
[i]Oh? Do tell! Was it you?[/i]
Aw, ok. My pointer caught a deer (in a ditch, didn't chase it) and grabbed it by the head. I called her, she left it.
The adrenaline was coursing when I posted a thread entitled "I bring you the Predator"! More because I was amazed that she could catch a deer. They are pretty fast, you know..
Some horses became extremely high, I thought it was rather amusing personally. and I'm sure it was the thread that started my favourite STW phrase:
"It could be a kid's face next time" 😀
Dog has only caught rabbits and foxes since. Currently sporting a hole in her muzzle from fighting something or other in the field, probably a fox.
She's great these days. Butter wouldn't melt.

Perhaps those monkey foreskins have got a life at last 🙄
Very funny vid btw & the Benton in London is genius 😆
Insult of the week.
Thanks for the update DezB 😀 For the record, my lurcher chases anything small and furry (or even large and furry) but seems to have an innate knowledge of what not to chase. He'll happily munch pheasants, but shows zero interest in hens, for instance.
He also likes a good foxy punch up and once spectaculary rolled off a garden shed whilst attached to two bushy-tailed urban foxes 😯 They started it.
It gets better..

Yeah that's what he said, unlucky for him he wasn't quick enough with the mobile phone cam.
I might have been 😉 😆
Very funny vid
I think from now on the first question anyone with a dog should think should be....................What would Benton do?
Reminds me of the time I spent 45 minutes chasing round after my pointer after he had found a deer leg in the park- he thought he was the dogs nadgers and was not going to let me have any I can tell you!

It's quite refreshing!

Sod that! I want to be JUDGED!! 😆
Pah! One deer? Benton chased a whole HERD of deer.
Believe me, there is no amount of training that can suppress the natural instinct in some dogs. Ours will heal, sit, lie down come on command, heck you could even put a steak on the floor in front of him and he wouldn't touch it without permission, yet, have some sort of livestock around that he can chase and he suddenly turns deaf and ignores all commands! That's why he goes on a lead around livestock. He would never attack an animal, just likes the chase unfortunately!!
Totally agree with that as I've been in the same situation as that bloke in the video.
Me and the missus were walking her black lab and jack russell puppy on the Quantocks a couple months ago. The lab was off his lead as he'll never chase anything and the jack russell was on his but changed direction quickly when he spotted some horses and ripped the lead out of her hand. I must have chased him for half a mile before he stopped and that was only because one of the horses stopped to try and kick him.
And if that wasn't bad enough once I'd got hold of him I had some old codger come over and attempt to give me a lecture about keeping dogs on leads!
What's the dog's name Mark?
And does it go well with the phrase "OH JESUS CHRIST!" ?
Woof!
Easier said than done with the dogs as said. We've had several well trained dogs over the years and there are occasional mishaps.

We need the Mods to have these attached to certain IP Addresses...

That's why I find the Quantocks a pain, as you can never be sure if there are sheep around the next bend, hence I don't ride with my dog there just incase.
The horses on the Mendips are good, as if a dog runs at them, they run straight back at them, which means that mine is now very scared of them.
The animals that don't run, just aren't interesting!

"Oh Jesus Christ Buddy" 😳
As far as stupid names go i reckon thats right up there with Benton 😆 You can tell a woman named him, I wanted him to be Dave but apparently that would have been a stupid name 🙄
Benton you terrible **** 😀
I knew someone with a dog called 'Taxi' - he decided he'd be more comfortable calling out that than 'bingo' or whatever.
As it turned out the joke wore off very quickly but the dog would never answer to anythign else so he used to end up stood in the middle of the park shouting 'Taxi! Taxi!' and gettign odd looks.

My mums dog did that, she lives in the country, so she gave her dog (a terrier) to the Shepherd who put it in a small pen with a ewe and her lamb. believe me, 30 seconds in there, and she now looks the other way when we pass a field of sheep.
From the laugh at the end of the clip it sounds like Muttley filmed it.

Can't speak for TJ, but maybe it's cos I was actually out riding my bike rather than getting my knickers in a twist over what someone said on the internet.. 😉
(I know, I know; how mad is that?? That I actually have a life? You must be so jealous)
Flattered that you pay me such attention though, as I'm sure TJ is too. Can't remember anything you've ever posted on here so you can't have posted owt of any interest, but it's nice that you find my posts entertaining. And the best bit is, you get it for free! You lucky, lucky person you... 😀
(PS: Like the 'monkey foreskin' bit, even though it's not kosher...)
Seen this happen in Richmond Park meself, the dog owner didnt seem to give a flying **** tho.
If my dog see's some deer its game over, I just have to get the whistle out so that she can find her way back when she's finished. Been to Richmond park with her a couple of times, she's kept on the lead!
If my phone wasn't decades old that might make a nice ringtone.
Might let my pal Benton know about it.
oh go on then ..
could be a child's face next time.
😉
This has made my day 😀
Ah, gutted the original has been taken off Youtube! 🙁
(Found it on ThePoke's website 🙂 )
Best edit i've seen!
I just spat wine out at richc!
My collie will chase. He's been known to catch the odd rabbit or squirrel.
Fortunately/unfortunately he lacks that killer instinct. He's caught 2 rabbits and lay on them! Pinned them to the floor.
As you get close he stands up and off runs a bewildered looking bunny!
pmsl. good find.
Where did it go?
I get the feeling there's going to be quite a few of these videos popping up!
😆
