I agree with everything said above, but will add that I love how easy they are to move around. They aren't in multiple pieces and they're sturdy enough that you can just pick them up and move them...

What are the symptoms of a bad servo? I've got a newer unit that stopped launching a month or so ago. The catch moves a little, but the travel isn't long enough to clear the release arm. I thought...

Haha...of course he did. I wasn't there.

Listen to Glen

What was the wind doing?

And, was R2 thrown on the bank or in the water?

Assuming it's an AKC field trial, I believe that dog has committed a serious fault and failed the test.

3. Returning to the handler without the bird where not called in, except on a marked...

Is there a differentiation between major and minor stakes when it comes to a true break? I didn't think there was. I thought in minor stakes you were allowed a controlled break, but that a break...

Your example scenarios today seem very real...:D

Kitty's litter has produced some pretty nice dogs. Gawthorpe's Baker had 14 derby points (with 2 wins) and a Q win and Keith Pharr's Bay has, what...37 derby points?

I'm certainly not old enough to remember those horses, but boy, what a race that was. I'll have another sure showed a ton of heart. I didn't think there was any way he was catching Bodemeister.

Mike, can you please clarify what kind of launcher you're talking about? I assumed, given the comparison to a starter pistol, that you were talking about a handheld launcher like this:...

It is impossible to REALLY simulate a duck hunt.

I've never shot a duck while sitting on a bucket in a hay field.

I've never shot a duck with a wooden gun in a hay field.

Both venues can...

Well said and I feel very similarly about the enjoyment I get from training and generally, just watching and talking dogs with people.

Well, I've only worked or participated in 7 or 8, so I certainly haven't seen it all yet! I had to pull up google earth and approximate, from memory, where the guns were, too, so it could have been...

For FT, I think BOTH are up to the judges to determine beforehand...

(9) The Judges should agree in advance as to the extent of movement which shall be considered “creeping,’’ short of breaking,...

Renee and Carol, I've been where you are as recently as March. I watched derbies in the past and got a feel for what it took to compete in them and decided to hold off until we were further through...

I feel the same way. As posted above, my local shop is pushing Earthborne Hollistics, but it's more that TOTW for a smaller bag ($50 for 28 lbs vs $48 for 30). However, they do (or at least my...

Same with my local shop. I bought a bag of this Earthborn Hollistics today. I'll report back on how the dogs do on it.

I was traveling today, so I couldn't watch the video, but I read it as the dog got indirect pressure for the cheat, then another nick for the poor/slow sit.

But, now that I've seen it, I see that...

Not asking as criticism, I'm just curious what you and others think. Are you worried about clouding the lesson by issuing a correction for the cheat, then issuing another for the sit. I'm sure he...

She's cute!

Not trying to be a buzz kill, but...

I've had a dog die from a gastrointestinal obstruction from chewing a baseball and swallowing the core. If you've ever seen the core of a baseball, it's about...
