I had no idea your dog was so young! It was a pleasure judging him. Congrats to you both. I would add that if you get the opportunity to judge for the Carolinas club at Wally's farm in Mullins,...

"i have also attended and run tests where my dog,that creeped, performed somewhat loosely on blinds,received the same ribbons that Pro trained dogs received, that were dead steady, and did stellar...

I don't think they are more important, they're just another part of the requirements for a master retriever. The "marking is of paramount importance" line of the rule book gets quoted a lot. But...

Congratulations to you for encouraging this young man to be part of a very positive sport. I agree with what the other posters have said. Give him the tools to train his dog, get as much support...

Great photos and looks like fun was had by all....except maybe the pheasants. What a great way to spend a day. Did you all have pheasant for dinner?

All tests had the same concepts, ie: all land tests were triple marks, single blind and honor, all Land/Water tests were walk up triple, double blind (one water, one land), and all water tests were...

I received two responses from John Stracka, President and Editor in Chief, Retriever News. The second email states that I should spread the word that this is a proposal, and feel free to share...

Hi Barb,
Yes you have to submit them to OFA, the cost to record is $15.00 and yes the CAR means carrier. By the way, you can do a search on OFA for the Ichthyosis test and find all the dogs that...

Just an FYI, OFA is posting Icthyosis results:

It would seem to me that if the grounds are limited, then the first option should be to remove some of the extra stakes, ie drop the 2nd Master test, before being allowed to "limit" entries. There's...

If it was important enough for you to pay the entry fee and show up in time to watch the test dog, then shouldn't it be important enough for you to hang around and run? As a marshal, I'm always...

Saw this note in the premium:

**************EACH MH WILL BE LIMITED TO 89 ENTRIES PER AKC APPROVAL***************

If anyone from the club is on this forum, I'd sure like to know how they're...

Minor stakes rarely, if ever, run in numerical order. At the quals I've marshaled, many times, handlers have dogs in the open and/or the am, and will not be there to run in order. If you don't have...

I think I heard that there are 3 versions of the test. So far, I've taken two different ones.

Tonya Romano is the person at AKC to contact to get your test emailed to you. Her email address is TBR@akc.org.

Congrat's on your pass, your ribbon will go out in the mail tomorrow. I'm glad you had a good time. Both of my grandkids ran in the Junior as well. The had a great time, and both earned ribbons. ...

Had a similar experience. A friend of a friend mentioned to another friend that I had golden stud dogs and gave her my email address. She contacted me asking about breeding, and I responded with:...

Have had 2 ARE's and one Century, and we'll never have anything but ARE. We have the lift up windows with the sliders, perfect for the dogs. Also have the front slider and a tube for between the...

I would also like to thank the WAFTC club. A good friend of mine is visiting from Michigan and entered her two dogs in both Juniors. Now that wouldn't be a real big deal, except that she has a very...

Thanks for the reminder Gerry! It was on my to do list, and I knew there was a discount in May, but it just slipped my mind. I ordered all three tests for Cruz, now I just have to remember to set...

Dave,

One more thing, as a hunt test secretary, please don't wait until the half hour before the start of the test to notify the secretary that you want to move to another stake. Call them as...

For an AKC event, you can move your dog. Here's the section of the rule book that covers it.

After entries have closed a dog may be moved up
to the next level in a test in which it is entered...

Totally agree with Barb.

I've used the clear fingernail polish method and it worked great. It stops the itch immediately. It doesn't have to be clear, my husband had them once, and all he could find was my granddaughter's...
