To Fetch Or Not To Fetch
I am a massive proponent of meeting the needs of our hunting breeds. It's kind of my thing. But hunting and fetch are not the same. Upland bird hunting especially is DEFINITELY not fetch! (Liza Rader in an Instagram Reel posted 2024.02.15)
Many gundog trainers seems to really dislike fetch. Other trainers love fetch. Other trainers are somewhere in the middle. What's going on with fetch?
Some of own thoughts, in no way definitive and in no particular order:[1]
I also always reserve the right to unreservedly change my mind about this kind of stuff, when embarking on any kind of informal research.↩︎
