I don't have the luxury of being able to travel very far to run tests; so for me not to run a test based on the judges would really cut down on my options. Have I had judeges I didn't enjoy running...

I love my ruff stand!

That's a nice looking pup!! I love the dark chocolate.

That's hilarious!!! I could see my dog doing that.

I can't tell you what the "official" rules state, but it has been my experience that in inclement weather the dress code is forgiven. I have run in the cold and the rain and the judges allowed...

My wife has told me this before...joke's on her!!

When you are trying to plan your anniversary trip around hunt tests and the vacation time it will take to do both (gonna have to miss some...

When you can't sleep at night because you are thinking of how to set up new marks on a field/pond you use on a regular basis.

1 knock against the Avery that I have heard is that they will crack if thrown on land when they are cold. I don't know this to be true because just to be safe I don't use them when this might be an...

I use both, but prefer the Avery. I like them because they don't soak up water & they don't bounce a lot when thrown from the launcher. I've had Dokens bounce 3-4 times & end up 10 yards from where...

He eats a lot and we have to play soccer EVERY DAY!!

This is his kick the soccer ball dance...

Lonnie: Your 1st Grand experience is certainly 1 you won't forget. I am trying to run my 1st but am having a hard time working it into my schedule (don't get a lot of vacation time). I was able to go...

When you are training, don't go straight to the bucket and start throwing marks every time. Mix it up: walk past the bucket, walk in circles around the bucket, go to the bucket sit down blow your...

Thanks for sharing! I always like looking over other's set ups to help get new ideas. Does anyone know if I can some how save a thread so I can come back and look over this stuff at a later date?

I 2nd that!!

Them and Rogers....customer service at its best!!!

When my dog hears his collar turn on, he sits down by me so I can put it on him and he knows its time to work.

Blade loves him some soccer ball!!

You're right Jeff, hard to break those habits. But that's why I'm asking now, maybe I can start to break those. I am "entertaining" the thought of going to the Spring Grand. Not sure yet, he did well...

Are you allowed to talk to the dog once the test starts (heel, sit)? I understand line manners are held to a higher standard and am not talking about using a raised voice. I've seen some handlers...

Jeff,
I'm not running this fall and won't be able to go to the handler's meeting because of work. I am going to try and get down for a couple days to watch Nathan run. I'm mad that it is going to be...

Thank you for posting this. For some reason I couldn't get this link to load today on my computer.

I am trying to track down some info on the Grand. Is there someplace that has disruptions of past tests or videos and is there a written description of the expectations like there is in the rule book...

Congrats Jeff!!! And congrats to Santa Fe Labs.

Lucky!! I can't wait til ours opens. Still got a month.

It seems that no matter how tired my dog is he always has a little left in the tank for fun bumpers. He could be drop dead tired and still be looking at me as if to say "why are you just holding that...
