Hot dogs! Bring a bunch just in case you get hungry too. High fat with some protein. I would never send my dog on ice with deep water. We have had it thick enough for the dog to run on top of it but they can break through. Fun shooting in the ice hole. 👍👍

Your dog struggling in the ice brings back memories. My ole summer dog (yellow lab) bailed out the boat after a sailed goose. 100 yards or so later she got the goose. 15 yards from the boat she didn't have any more energy boat had froze into the ice and I didn't have my waders on...still jumped in cold as all get up but got the dog the goose and a story I suppose haha.

If water too deep to wade u absolutely must have a boat close by. Best to wait and use boat at end of hunt to pick up ones on ice. The hole looks better if you don't break out a bunch of trails to dead birds also.

A doggy life vest could buy you more time to get to your dog in a similar situation plus helps the dog expel less effort on long swimming retrieves. The cold zaps more energy from the pups than people think, why not make it a little easier for them? I’m with the many who have mentioned that iced over moving water is a no go for the dogs

Run a long rope on his back loop. No loop or knot to get caught on anything. As it strings out behind it could be the life line you can reach if he gets in a deep section and you can reach the end of the rope. Just an idea.

Ice is hard on the dogs. Fred did great for his 1st time breaking ice. Don't push him to hard, there was ice you almost couldn't break, expecting him to is asking too much of ol' frederick. If you're hunting ice, you better wear or bring a life vest. If the dog gets hung up, you're going in to get him. That life vest will keep you from drowning. You sent him, you better be ready to back him up.

@colemancardin7558 4 жыл бұрын

I also have a dog that’s pretty much the exact same age as Fred and where we hunt it’s usually over ice from November to January. What I have noticed the more they work on the ice the better they become where you went out and grabbed Fred happens to my dog a couple times every time we hunt and he has always powered through the ice. The best thing you could ever do is make a bigger hole in the ice then you need and don’t let people make stupid shots where the dog has to bust ice. My dogs cut himself multiple times on the ice because he does not slow down at all when there is a dead duck doesn’t matter if he’s retrieved 30 ducks he goes the same speed every retrieve. It’s like raising a kid everyone has there own ways of training or hunting there dog.
