We were putting up some new fencing this morning and the dogs were buzzing about the field sniffing out rabbits etc when we heard yelping. I looked up and there was Oscar suspended from the barbed wire fence 
Cue one mad dash over to him while yelling "Stay!" to try and stop him struggling. I was terrified he would have done major damage of the unthinkable kind so I was utterly relieved when we lifted him down to find one small hole at the top of his hindleg. The poor love had wet himself in fright and I had the shakes for ages after. He is now in the vets to be sedated and have it flushed out and stapled back together so please send him some healing vibes and virtual hugs because he is feeling pretty sorry for himself.
Here is a gratuitous pic of my special boy
Just to add he jumps barb (and 5 bar gates, stone walls etc) on a daily basis with no bother at all but we were secondary fencing the field for pigs with electric wire about half a metre inside the permanent fence and he tried to jump the lot at once. I really hope he learns from his mistakes because if he doesn't I don't have a clue how to train a 9 year old dog not to do something he has done all his life

Annoyingly, although he is being very good and not licking his wound, Dash keeps trying to get at it for him! How do I stop him doing this so I don't have to separate them completely?
