First, sorry about you losing the mom, but how wonderful that you found that great substitute! The puppies look like they've been very well taken care of! Curios to you and to that beagle!!

Gone way too soon. My condolences on your family's loss.

What would happen if something happened to the breeder before there was time to complete the tests and get the titles? For that reason I would not buy a puppy on a limited registration if I even...

Thanks, Vicky!

Phillip,
Not all policies are written where they can be found. I believe the ones discussed here have been mentioned in the AKC judges & handlers seminar. Maybe it would be advisable for you to...

Phillip,
Maybe I can explain why the judges sheets are kept by the judge and not shared with the world. #1. Most of us use our own form of short hand so much of what is drawn or written is not...

Exactly.

If they wanted to put the title one it, perhaps if a dog passed once, the title would have been granted. And that could have ended the incentive for many to return year after year.

You mean you remembered to wait to send your dog until after the judge released you? Seriously, I think it takes a pretty special dog to hold things together for 10 series. CONGRATULATIONS!!! And...

Sorry Paul, this is such a touchy subject with me. Too often we see the same people sitting in the chair week end and week out. It is very difficult for the HT Committee to find judges, whether it be...

All good judges started with 0 judging points.

Thank you for doing what you can to keep the sport viable in your area! By viable I mean fun, fair, and profitable. With all that faces our game ...

Because you are competing against all the other entries. Only a handful of dogs get a ribbon at the end of the day, and only one is declared the winner.

In Hunt tests if you and your dog perform...

So you can help to expand the judging pool.....DUH!

Kudos to you, FOM for trying to bring new names onto the rolls!

I have nothing to add to this discussion except that I know Rex Gibson. As Tammy stated, he judges and runs hunt tests. He has been a working member of Brazosport RC as well as Greater Houston Golden...

They dialate the dog's eyes. I'd think you wouldn't want to run a dog after it had been done. We have had the club set one up for a day of just that, you could also pair it with eic/cnm testing as...

Thanks for giving us a glimpse of your life with Maggie. I know you will miss her. My condolences.

Thank you for a glimpse into your world with Gavel! May he bring order to your court forever!

Hahaha That's funny...but you have to admit, they look a lot alike.

Only you, Chris, would have taken a detour on the way to your honeymoon to watch a Dog Trial! LOL

But what a neat experience it must have been.

River Bottom's Treasure (call name Pearl)

I hope there is a special place in Hell for someone who would do that!

LOL She hasn't quite gotten to doing that yet... but Buddy, the Mini Schnauzer, checks the top of her kennel every time he walks by looking for the left over pieces of the last milkbone.

With that said, should this thread be moved to POTUS?

What Bridget said....exactly, except we don't do the loving up bit with the door open, as smart & fast as some of these puppies are, they'd see an escape opportunity pretty quickly if we did and I'm...

The memories that they leave us with are there to fill the hole that they leave when they are gone.
May your many memories soon bring you smiles again instead of tears.
My condolences on your loss.

I would like to say, " Rest in Peace, Russell" but I doubt that would make him very happy. I hope he has lots of vermin to catch and big ol' black bears to chase!

Thanks for the glimpse into what...
