Awesome, you did let him eat it, right?
Is tularemia a possibility in dogs?
I sure wish my dogs would help themselves to dinner on occasion (so long as they leave my chickens alone). For some strange reason, I don't seem to have any rabbits or squirrels in my yard. Maybe they have been helping themselves.
My cat does feed himself moles and mice - good kitty.
That photo is worth framing, nice capture (both the dog's and the photographer's) lol
If you ever want to off leash walk, runs, it will be way more difficult after a successful kill, if not impossible, regarding trying to teach a dog not to critter, or chase prey;
Just had my dog flush & chase a rabbit across a street/road,
needless to say, our training is wayyy backed up to long line & avoidance work. She blew thru e-collar.
Just saying, while it looks "cool", it has significant meaning to a dog, or one that you don't want to chase prey, in future on command.
Think in Ed's 1st introduction, he speaks of his First gsd being killed by a car chasing a cat into a road, & not stopping on command = led to his training stratagy & Leerburg.
Leerburg mentions some where on here, the difficulty if/after a dog successful kill.

We have an abundance of rabbits and coyotes around here. I OB train every now and then at nearby football fields/park, sometimes when he spots a rabbit and the coast is clear I take leash off, down him and send him. 1 out of 3 times or so I recall right during the chase, it is good training. I can down him or recall from a chase with no problems. Off course catching wild rabbits and squirrels is not easy, I let him eat his kill.

Thats what I'm talking about!
If the dog KNOWS and respects the command, theres no reason they shouldn't perform, previous kill or not.
I'd bet Gnash also gets paid pretty well on the call offs, too.:smile:
