Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss I HATE COPPERHEADS!

CJ:

I hope the dog pulls thru without any lasting complications. Are there any Quail Unlimited or Pheasants Forever chapters near you? If so, give them a call and see if they know of anyone putting on a snake breaking course. The QU in So. Cal would put on one or two a year, and I think it cost (back then) $35 to put your dog thru it. It was a good thing to do out there, quail hunting usually meant desert quail, and where the quail were, there were rattlers as well. Usually, when a dog went thru the course, they remembered for a year the first time, and in my experience, after the 2nd time, they were set for life. Even so, $35/year is cheap compared to a vet bill, or worse...
