Agree, especially w/ that last sentence. Just as some folks brag on that JH while never intending to take the next step making the QAA an official title would encourage those whose only goal is to...

As someone else said. "Now y'all know what tinnitus is like."

I like to put my birds in cover, or just past cover, as long as I and the handler can see if the dog is truely in the AOF or has gotten into trouble. Besides, "you can't judge what you can't see."...

That's what we started with. 2 crates in the PU. But, be careful as plastic/fiberglass absorbs heat regardless of the color. So be mindful of keeping pups shaded. Strap them down, keep plenty of cool...

Creating as close to the atmosphere of competition as possible in training while maintaining 0 tolerance. If pup continues to slip at the real thing you might have to swallow that $75 and bring him...

Did the derby finish?
Q dog wanting to sleep late, regards

Yep. And it was a beautiful thing to watch.

The seminar book, which is only advisory, says "should BE ABLE (emphasis added) to watch." Not "must watch." That is in line with the rule book which simply says that pup's view must not be...

Chris,
I agree with all of your points. An experienced OB trainer/handler said as much to me. She carried a tin of Altoid breath mints and always popped one in her mouth before going into the ring....

And you expected this crowd to stay on topic? Good luck with that.
To answer your question, there is no rule requiring the honor dog to assume any particular position. This what the rulebook says...

Since your sleep is being interupted anyway have you tried moving the crate back into the BR? My pup - same age - was stressed out being in the LR by himself. Once I gave him a smaller crate near my...

The syndrone is most often caused by an inner ear infection - the typical ear infections in the outter ear have nothing to do with it - which disrupts the balance sensory nerves. Like a perpetual...

AKC rules and most clubs' premiums specifically allow a club to substitute or add judges as may be needed. "You pays your money and you takes your choice." If you don't like the flight to which your...

Agreed 100% w/ Mr. Robinson.
And as for Golden Boy's comment "Pitch the ducks into thier laps after the dog has give the bird up. Bet you get a bucket the next time." What you'd get from me is a one...

I was going to the line at an HRC test some years ago. Hot and humid south GA afternoon. For the water test I had on a pair of dark brown chaps over khaki shorts. The judge yelled - as I was coming...

Why did the handler drop a bird on the ground?

It's always dangerous to generalize or stereoptype any group. We've all seen pros who give generously to the sport, pitch in to help without asking and mentor newbies to the game. And I expect we've...

What the man said.

Well said.
I'd add as well that nowhere in the MNRC Mission Statement is there a reference to "best of the best." If the MNRC wants to make that it's operating mission it can. But it will require a...

I'm very happy with my 20 year old Mason kennels. Heavy galv pipe and chain shows no rust. The link fabric is heavy gauge and all "loose ends" are to the outside so there is nothing to catch pup's...

Yes. Just checking to see if anyone has a lightly used set they want to part with.

Looking for good condition set of Mike's "Training w/ Mike Lardy" vols 1 - 3. Xerox copies need not reply.

Back to the original question. Points go down, not up.
"i have a judge with 3 Junior/5 Senior/4 Master points - can this judge carry a zero point Senior judge and single point Junior judge?" Yes,...
