HRCH WILLOWPOINT'S TUFF STUFF

(NAFC FC Cody Cut a Lean Grade x MH female)
Tuff has been an outstanding dog to train. He is a great marker and holds great lines. He is solid as a rock at the...

I have a Grady pup that has just now turned 3. He has been as smooth as silk running in Hunt Tests. He is rock solid at the line, handles like a cadillac, marks great, doesn't cheat, and holds...

I seriously though about selling Tuff just before he turned 6 months old. He was very easy to train on obedience, but he just did not do well with fun bumpers. His drive just wasn't where I wanted...

John,

Speaking of your pup....How is daisy doing?

Anyone who sends there dog for just 4 months (Basic Gundog Training) to a "well known" trainer must have more money than common sense. $400 to $600 should be the prices you will get according to the...

Several local trainers, smartworks and lardy videos/books, and experience has got me to where I am today. I continue to learn every day because every dog has his/her own set of weaknesses to correct...

I will be alternating my two dogs, but Lucy will be going with a friend to Missouri from time to time to get in a lot more retrieves. This upcoming season will be her 6th season, so she is a well...

I have read the posts on whether it is harder to get a HRCH title or a MH title. I am aware that getting a FC or AFC is much tougher to get than both of those. However, I would like to see the...

How difficult is it to ship an adult dog across the U.S? What are the approximate costs? What all is required? I appreciate any knowledge you may have to share.

I think it is a combination of genetics and training that play a role. Are great markers born or made? I'm a teacher so I will give you an analogy that I am familiar with. ......

If you were...

I run HRC hunt tests and will be getting into some AKC hunt tests soon. The question I have for you is this. What crosses have you guys found that produce the best Hunt Test dogs for you in the...

Had a man tell me today how to tell who is truly your friend. He said put your lab and your wife in the trunk and leave them for an hour. After an hour, open it up and see which one is happy to see...

Are you allowed to blow the whistle to get them to sit on a walkup in AKC? I know it is allowed in UKC.

The only thing that worries me is the lack of really good technical water around close to home.

I'm sure this has been discussed many times but I would appreciate any replies. I have gotten a HRCH title on my 2 yr old. He went through it pretty easy only handling on one mark.

What do I...

8 handed casting drill with a hard cross wind will help out.

I can't speak for other dogs, but I can tell you my pup out of Grady x MH female has made me one heck of a dog. He received his HRCH title just after turning two.
My opinion is to look at the...

Training a pup for a client that is out of this kennel. Pup is 13 months old and is doing solid Seasoned Level work right now. I have had the dog for 4.5 months. He has two started passes and will...

If you train with an e callar, make sure the dog always has it on in the field. This is when moments of excitement are at a peak and quick precise correction is a must.

The greater Canadas in our area are huge and tough to handle even for an experienced dog. Forcing with a goose dokken and showing them where to grab it is the trick.

Have your standards in place before the time of the hunt. Get a buddy or two to meet up with you and do some simple obedience training simultaneously. Test your dog during this session. Let your...

I use an igloo container as well. Works fine.

Being patient and continuing to socialize the dog in various places. Take them for walks and throw a short fun bumper (paint roller) from time to time.

Last bird down.. then closest... then the only bird left
