Does Tucker do fine with the chickens otherwise or do you have to keep him separate? Thatās good! About how long do you think it took him to get good at barking?

No, chickens are food to him
. Hr had a high prey drive so i dont trust him around them. We are still working on it but have been for a bit over 6 months now. He is good at finding but his alerts werent always good so i started adding in the barking. His alerts before were to circle back around me a few times. But barking is easier.
Awwww

I'd hate it if Chase couldn't be around the chickens. He does have a high prey drive, but it doesn't seen as high as Tucker's. He sometimes does chase random things that go by, like squirrels, but he stops and comes back when I call him 100% of the time. I'm sure though if he had a higher drive that would be a lot harder. Ok, Chase took probably 8 months to bark without prompting so that seems pretty similar.

Tucker has always had a high drive. Birds squirrels and rabbits. If i dont see them he does. And yes he does bark and try and chase them. With his e collar he comes back right away never tested without it. But he had to have come from hunting lines somewhere. If he wasnt gun shy he would be a amazing hunting dog. He tracks and retrieves. We have a starter pistol sitting because Denver could care less and has little prey drive and i love how she is.That's sad
Im hoping he gets it within the next few months, but we will continue even if he doesnt get it
The high drive is nice, you can use it to your advantage. It just makes it harder when they see little furry things
When you said something about him being a field golden and you showed a picture of him, I thought his build looked a lot like Chase, but Iām not sure now. I think Chase is quite a big more muscular than Tucker, but I still think he is pretty slim compared to a lot of goldens Iāve seen. I bet he will!!

Yes, his high drive works with training. He is motivated. And if there is a day he doesnt want to play/train i know something is wrong.The high drive is nice, you can use it to your advantage. It just makes it harder when they see little furry things
Tucker is slim but i love it. He is active and at a ok weight. Je doesnt gain weight easy though. He is on a 450kcal per cup food right now and getting more than the weight recommended.
Chase is slimmer to but i think he is more a performance than field. He looks like a few performance breeder dogs ive seen. Still a beautiful pup
What is performance vs field?
My dog Duke is a German Shepherd/Greyhound. He is 13.25 years old. He likes to sleep a lot, and is not as growly as he used to be.
He is a good boy though, he has never chased a cat, or a chicken. And has always liked other dogs, just not mean ones.

Somewhat of the same thing. Just perfomance dogs excel in obedience and agility. Wheras field dogs excel in agility and field work In my opinion have less prey drive. Ill list a breeder in a bit to show a difference between field vs performance looks.
