    Not extinct Mr. Wideopenthrottle, but no longer bred for their intended purpose. Here are some photos of different Turnspit Dogges being bred by fanciers of the breed in the British Isles

    Ya, should probably outlaw them for sure !
    LOL that's funny right there! Your right, when my lab now is getting his collar on it does't matter whether he just going for walkies or training it's the best day ever. And thats just what these people that are against HUNTING DOG'S don't get! Is the poor dog has been bread to do what they do fore at least 200 years! And they do it so well. What I think is appropriate to tell these folks is if their not a VEGAN, is to shut the "F" UP! BEcause I don't have someone else murder my food for me! And if you can't appropriate watching a lab hunting up a pheasant and trailing it for 200 yds. and then putting it up in front of you, then you better be a vegan! About the only time my dog's collar is on is when he is close to roads and I know I have to have control over him so he doesn't get run over or hit by a car because I don't think I could live with something like that happening. Because when he's hunting he's hunting and the road is not a barrier to him.

    My 18 month Golden will actually rear up on her hinds and stick her head through the collar if I am to slow putting it on her. Collar= Fun.

    When I pick up the collars my dogs go nuts. They know we are headed out and run to the door in anticipation. I open the door and they run to the gate.I open the gate and they run to the truck. I open the tailgate and they jump in. They know when I have the collars in hand fun follows.

    Mr. Wideopenthrottle, no need to be sorry at all sir. I did not post to prove you wrong just as a point of interest, I suppose when you consider they do not "turn spits" any longer they are indeed extinct in a manner of speaking. From what I understand they were never a true breed just mixed breed dogs bred for form of function. Your original post got me interested and I contacted dog people in England and Ireland who put me on to the information.

    My pup is now 3 mos old. He will be getting an E Collar for the finishing touches in his training. Will be my first time using one and have spent months researching.

    Just kidding of course. The bad people who let him up on the couch get that treatment.
    Cody: It's a pretty cool sidearm you got there. What is it?
    Four Leaf Tayback: I don't know what it's called. I just know the sound it makes when it takes a man's life.

    Frank, I never thought I'd say this again. I'm getting the pig!
    Frank, we gotta get rid of this broad. I know a great place up the road. Lots of alligators.

    Marvin: If there's one thing I know, it's women and covert operations.
    Frank: Marvin, that's two things.
    Han Cho Bai: No, grasshopper. It is not.
