[QUOTE="Allen, post: 306669, member: 389"] I would and do carry mine even though he VERY rarely needs to be corrected with an actual shock. Mostly for the dog's safety, running after birds is one thing, but taking an interest in a rattle snake or badger is something entirely different and I want a way to pull him off in a hurry if there's a danger to the dog. Plus, I use a GPS collar, so while hunting in rough terrain, I know where he is even while he's out of visual line of sight. Granted, your dog probably tends to stay a little closer than what's expected of a GSP. One good thing about a gentle dog is that they will often just sit there and let you pull quills. I had to do that last year with my GSP. We had just flushed some grouse out of a pocket of brush by accident, and then he got anxious to go in and I thought there might be a bird or two remaining. Nope, damn quill carrier is what he found. He received about 60 in his face, mouth, and chest. But he sat right there and let me pull every single damn one of them. It'll be interesting to see if he learned anything from the experience. [/QUOTE]
