I used to have a 2001 xterra so my thoughts may be out of date. I really liked the way it drove, the amount of room and handeling. They have much more room and are more user friendly than the...

You can start with the dog in the blind with you but I wouldn't be shooting. That muzzel blast is bad. It takes them a little bit to get used to laying and not being able to see you. Work on kennel...

If FT and AKC hunt tests are too simulate a hunt why don't the handlers shoot. For that matter why don't the handlers shoot the live flyers, that would be the most realistic scenario. It's all about...

Cat Squirrel,

I agree with you, the problem I see is the inconsistancy of judges. The first hunt test I ever ran (HRC) I was wearing a camo shirt and olive green cargo pants. Now add waders to...

LH,

Sorry to semi-hijack your post but I think it all ties together. What ever you put into a dog is all you will get out no matter what the breeding is. Marking, lines, trainablity are all traits...

Just so you know I am not making those accusations. I have had a few well bred dogs, One I lost way too early last year and I have a 5 mo. old. Both these dogs were/are house dogs and I will never...

I think the drive to work is a little great for them to be converted to couch dogs 9 mo. out of the year. Of course all dogs are different and I'm sure there are some dogs that can fit this rule but...

Hope I don't get crusified for this one...

FTs are to hunting what theoretical astrophysics is to chemestry. FTs test advanced concepts and always reach for the edge of what these dogs can do. In...

Fashion (as silly as it is) is really up to judges descresion. The rules say hunting attire. At a started test they seem to be more hard on non-camo wearing...

Never mind, looked it up on good dog info, Maxx & Lottie never breed.

That is the no brainer breeding of the century (ever seen a $50,000 pup)

GRHRCH Yella MH QAA & GRHRCH Boomer MH

The owners of these two dogs say it would be a disaster but I am sure one of those pups could easily have an FC on it.

Somebody had mentioned a repeat...

I had the same problem with the last dog. We went to a seminar on FF and quickly found out that our sit standard was not good enough. That dogs butt should stay down no matter how much pressure you...

Alright, I have to speak up because no one brought up custard. No, not the yellow stuff thats the consistancy of pudding that they have in the south. The ice cream like (calling it ice cream doesn't...

I hate naming dogs. It's obvious if you read my...

Cut em_Jack,

I am in the situation (again) of introducing a puppy (12 weeks) to the house. My older dog (12 year old) has the run of the house, never kenneled, roams the house and has free range....

HRC perspective...The rule says no training on test grounds. now I've been yelled at for throughing bumpers and airing in the parking lot at Friday set up for a dog that was not even running the...

My new pup (female) has Abe on dam side (Eba X Apache Soiux MH) and BeBe (lottie's full sister) on the sires side (Lean Mac X BeBe). Very bright dog with a ton of potential, great eyes and a very...

Does Lardy go through debolting in his process? If not it may be something you could use as a tool. Mr. Graham has it as part of his CC process and from experiece it works. But from what was said...
