Dozer......2 wins and 11 points this spring

Congrats to Bobby Davidson, John Thomas, and Alan Pleasant on Cane winning the Open, which gives him his FC. Nice to see two brothers win the open in back-to-back weekends.

Thanks Bobby. It does give Dozer his FC. He is still working on his AFC, had a second last fall.

FC Peakebrook's Brawny Force is for sale. Anyone interested should contact Al Arthur.

It is nice to see Jewel's pups get 1st and 4th. I might need to breed her again.

Breck, any second thoughts ?:(

Congrats on the second with Cane. Two recent placements, not bad for a dog under 3. Looks like you will have fun with him this spring.

Just think, in a year you will be able to start playing the...

Congrats Bobby! Cane has made a nice transition with Alan.

I will let you know what the ultrasound shows in a couple of weeks.

I use Federal Premium loaded with 130 gr. Barnes Triple Shock bullets in my 270 WSM. The WSM is about 200 fps faster than the standard 270. This bullet has excellent expansion at short and long...

Second place in the derby went to Patrick Daignault.

Per the gallery, this test is not tight like the 5th. Dogs can have big hunts without the worry of switching. So far very few handles, but some good sized hunts. The overall theme of the National...

18 and 19 did not handle in the 8th.

Dogs are having hunts, but only one handle and pick-up so far.

Fizzy is about to run.

Cataract is the process of discoloration of the lens within the eye. It is believed to be the result of protein denaturation, which results in the lens becoming cloudy.

There are studies that...

Retinas do not become detached because of "wear and tear of training" or running water blinds. Our bodies do not "reject" our own tissue. There are many reasons why people can develop detached...

The word "should" has always given judges leeway in setting up their tests. But, it is certainly not the first trial that has gone without an honor.

Simple. They never had an honor in the Open.

Bobby,

Congrats on your win in the Qual with Cane!

He and the other boys make his mama proud. Keep up the great work with him.

I think everyone agrees that the current restricting format (Limited, Special, and Restricted) works at reducing numbers without effecting the level of competition at a trial.

If clubs are against...

Al Arthur won the Qual with Dog #1 - Dozer

I am not assuming anything. I am asking people how they judge or how they think they should be judged.

My purpose for discussion is more about how people judge, than particular situations. In order to do that, you have to imagine situations.

Another words, eliminate as many variables as possible,...

Again, the question is about a single series, not cumulative work.

I agree with most that faults should be judged equally, regardless of the series.

I agree that after the first series, judging...

When judging each series, do you base your callbacks on:

A) A pre-established standard for the test
B) Comparison of dog work performed (i.e. outliers fail).

The key in this scenerio is that the working dog has not been given a number. A break should result in dismal of the working dog.

In one trial, I have seen a dog have to endure:
-the honor dog...

When judging land and water blinds, does your criteria change regarding acceptable work? Another words, if a fault occurs in the third series water blind, will that more likely to result in...

The statement regarding Achilles heal has nothing to do with the sport surviving or not. It has nothing to do with what we can live without.
