The hardest part will come at the next test because RK will have to be prepared to pick his dog up on the first creep. A bit costly in the short run but very cost effective over the dog's...

Well this comment has just pushed my vote to dog#1. When the rule books for both Field Trials and Hunt Tests in both AKA and CKC emphasis the importance of marking ability I would honour that when...

I love my Peltor Tactical Pro Electronic headset, I turn the mic way up when I'm manning a short gun station so I can eves drop on the judges. I wish our club could purchase these for all our...

I am so looking forward to following Polmaise's exploits during his foray into the world of AKC Tests and Trials where he will be able to make his case in the language we all understand...success.

Well....

"Guns out or retired, it is very difficult to figure out sometimes if dog is caving to a factor or just figuring stuff out."

Handle to teach the dog not to give in to any factors.

Oh really?

I don't know how I missed this thread when it first came out, thanks Doug for telling the story of a truly heroic man. Jock's life read's like a Hemingway or Jack London character, it would make a...

Finally, the voice of reason and a contender for the 2013 Stephen Leacock award for humour, thank you John!

Guess I'm not in the running for the Leacock award then, eh?

I wish it were not so but I swear to gosh this is true.
