Gosh, where did all that come from
No...some people do, some don't ? To be a sentence it must contain a complete thought. Do or don't what? I'm done with this thread. Its getting like Facebook....see ya on the next topic..thank you all...yes you also Duane, for your insights
Some people think it's okay to let a dog catch and eat wild game. Some people do not. Sorry about the frustration, but this has been covered repeatedly in this thread. It was a good question, and a very good discussion has ensued. You must decide for yourself what is best for you and your dog.
Are you willing to risk parasites and disease, and possibly any behavioral issues that might result from acquiring/defending/eating prey? What benefits do you expect to gain from the behavior? Once the pros and cons have been spelled out, it's up to you to decide.
You've been given the info to make the decision yourself. All we can do is say what we would do with our own dogs.
I can tell you that Tanner would not be allowed to keep a critter he's caught especially if it's a bird or a cat. I don't expect that I'd have a conflict getting him to trade a dead critter. He's easy going. If there's going to be a conflict he'd be allowed to have anything other than a cat. I'd take a slip lead and choke him off of it before allowing him to eat one of the dozens of outdoor cats around me. They are NASTY.
