Re: Whistles Does it really matter whether you have the 210.5 or the 211.5? How much difference does it make?
Re: Whistles Jane, I'm not sure it really matters as long as you always use the same pitch. Think 210.5 is usually used for Spaniels and the 211.5 Labradors etc, I use this one. But don't quote me on that : x
Re: Whistles Jane ,I don't think it's a major worry ,I think it's something to do with pitch....the Gundog members will be able to verify that ,but I think the Main thing is to have consistency.If you have bought an acme whistle you will always have consistency of pitch because if you lose a whistle you can buy exactly the same one to replace it x
Re: Whistles I have Labs and use an Acme 210.5 which I prefer. I tried the 211.5 but when I had my hat on, it seemed overly loud, reflected back from under the rim I suppose! It doesn't really matter what whistle you use as long as you always use the same tone. Though having said that, I am sure my dogs would respond to any whistle if I blew it

Re: Whistles [quote author=Jane Martin link=topic=6273.msg83782#msg83782 date=1401549677] It's just that I bought the 210.5 - silly thing to worry about I suppose! : [/quote] Might give your lab a spaniel complex Seriously, makes not one jot of difference to the dog.
Re: Whistles I have both - "poisoned" the higher pitched one, so bought the other when I started Total Recall on someone's advice. I can't remember which is which but I found the original higher pitched one more acceptable to my human ear.
