    They have had no problems showing us pictures of people in lawn chairs. There is no excuse for not updating the Call backs. If they can't access the original call back file, they can create a new...
  2. Is there a site that tracks a dog's progress towards an FC or AFC?

    I was wondering if there is a site that tracks a dog's progress towards an FC or an AFC. Would like to watch dogs from our club and follow their growth in the sport.

    Primarily, I run hunt tests. I am interested in judges that put the dog first and leave their own egos at home.

    Last year at a MH test in Georgia, the judge set up the second series with a stand at the edge of the water. At the time, my dog was running SH, I wondered what he'd do if asked to jump up on the...

    My reason for asking about neutering our male was driven by our vet. When the vet completed the x-rays on his hips, she said we should get him neutered right away to prevent any unwanted pregnancies....

    To neuter or not

    I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I don't remember reading it: I would not consider using my 3 year old male as a stud dog due to mild hip dysplasia. My question is this: would you neuter...

    Skunk

    I'm sure this has come up before, but I need to ask the question as of course, my lab got skunked the other day while we were walking in the woods. However, the problem is not the dog, I cleaned him...

    Thank you so much. The last reply answered my question perfectly! We'll be heading out to work as soon as the sun comes up.

    He has his JH and we are training to run SH this coming year. So I want to train the correct way so that we work together as the Judge would expect.
  21. How do I correctly make a correction to a blind?

    He loves it, so he never acts like he doesn't want to run. When I say that we train for an hour, I mean that he is working for that entire time. I set up 3-4 different blinds, and use to Bumper...
