How about only allowing dogs to enter in 8 or 10 master hunt test per year. If the dog passes 6 they are allowed to participate in the MN. I see several dogs that ran 10-15 test before they get that...

I like my female but it's frustrating when the heat cycle hits opening weekend for ducks. Just have to weight the pros and cons. It's cool to see her beat up on the boys during a hunt test and make...

Great information. Is there an age when water temps don't really apply. I have a 3 year old who balked at getting in for a shore line blind at our last hunt test. The outside temperature was in the...

I also don't have the luxury of traveling all over the place to avoid certain judges, so I'll run under anyone. We usually have master A, B, C and D flights so it's luck of the draw with judges.

My dog saves me more times than none. In fact, I've had a few guys in the peanut gallery tell me I need to learn from my dog, (in a joking way). It's all about having fun to me.

Yes, for some of us the MH title alone still holds a strong value. Having hunt test within 2 or 3 hours driving and only 2 days long is more convenient for our family. When I see a MH title next to a...

My vote for one of the many top studs is AFC Texas Troubador "Tubb". Time will tell since he's young but his pedigree is very nice. Like the previous post state "don't forget the dam" and it's also...

Very good point Raymond. I just recently purchased Carol Cassidy's book to learn the marking drills you just mentioned and find my hrch dog marking much better. 80%-90% of training for marking is...

When you see your kids casting one another to certain area's and you tell them that was a good cast. And make sure you slow down so your brother doesn't start auto casing.

My female does crazy things about 1 or 2 weeks before cycle. Once the cycle hits she's back to "normal". I use it as a cue as to when she's about to go in heat.

While pedigree's are important, I feel the trainers ability and knowledge play a bigger role. I have a 2 year old black female lab with no titles in her first 3 generation pedigree. My dog has earned...

Willie, on the third series double with a walk up, when was the diversion thrown? Was this after they picked up bird one or two?
Thanks for sending these out. We will try similar set up's at our...
