Fantastic weekend Ruth!!!! Way to go.

In response to the comment that “trial dogs can’t/don’t/won’t hunt”. The bitch from my story hunted upland game like a machine. Finally at age 12 I had to leave her at home to keep her safe. She only...

I am going to attempt to interpret why Rex Carr did not include marking in the list of desirable traits to which Dennis referred. This conversation with Rex occurred some 27 years ago, but I believe...

I had the good fortune to spend some time at CL2 when Judy was there in the late 80's. One of the real treats of that trip was hearing Rex say " O.K. Judy, go get the Old Man" He sure didn't act like...

I have a Dusty Brown dog. The breeder wanted a smaller dog to compete in agility and she got one. My dog was the biggest male. She placed him in my field trial home. He has grown up to be an...

5 long, hot hours in Indio.

As a moderately experience field trial judge (4 AA points) I would like to make a comment regarding the questions I see posted regarding judges criteria.

Most of these remarks and questions seem...

Dennis and Diann are the kind of people our sport needs more of. Hardworking, friendly, truely nice people. Max was a wonderful boy. I'm so sorry. Rick

Way to go Anna and Larry. Nice job Diane.

Ted to your original question, I think the consciences answer is “Yes, Field Trial Judging needs to be improved, to suit my preferences”. Aside from the rare occasion when a Judge simply ignores a...

WOOF! And Thanks.

Down here in extreme Southern California we have the legendary "Niland Bombers" giant flys as big as a bumble bee with a bite to match. My dogs hate them and regardless of what they're suppose to be...

Way to go Gordon! You are the man!

FC AFC Try

Red River- the masterpiece of the genre.
High Noon- truely a classic story.
Open Range-greatest street fight scene ever.

Good points Barry. Our sport needs to make it easier to recruit new judges not more difficult. Once involved if an individual lacks skills they won't be invited to judge or at least not invited back....

I too have a dog that is prone to cold water tail. It shows up in him after prolonged or very stressful water work ie: swim by or water force. I have been successful in preventing it by giving him...

Contact for Jewell Easter is jewell2dogs@msn.com. She will make sticks to your specs. They are the best and very competatively priced.

Bill closed the deal by winning the Am as well. Way to Go Bill !!!

Include me.

Add my name to the list of people rooting for Bill, Micki and Ammo. I judged Ammo in two derbys last year, she won neither of them. A bad break in one and she was outmarked in the other. She is a...

Hooray Ruth! Good going Patti. Results well earned. Rick.

Martha, I'm so sorry. As the owner of one of your pups I know how you love them all. Find peace in the fact that you have wonderful memories. Rick

In the late '80s I had dogs with Rex Carr. My training partner and I took a pair of young littermates,that I bred, up to Rex. Of course in those days all the young dogs went through the yard with...

I saw my 1st field trial in 1982. I had trained several gun dogs prior to that, but that was the day the world opened up. I had several good dogs in the late '80s but stopped trialing to raise kids....
