Without seeing the actual work, it is hard to really be definitive. This would be a close call for me. If the land marks were all good in the earlier series, ie good enough to carry the poor marking...

I think it has a lot of potential, but it will take quite a bit of experimentation to work smoothly. There are always early adapters who will work out the bugs for us and in a few years we may...

John, our little group will be arriving on Sept 3, and doing a little at the obedience/conformation, but mainly entered in field events. We would appreciate any info on training at Weldon grounds...

Anyone have an update on Qual Sunday morning?

A very interesting question. I suspect that the "market" for this costly a technology would be too small to fund development of the technology. Also, offhand it seems like the predictability of...

Just to correct my oversight on our plans, we will also be running Juice (Chica x Trip) in the Derby, SH and WCX. We co-own her with Trips owner Linda Wiacek and felt bad forgetting her in the list I...

Joanne and I are finally (pretty) sure we are attending, aong with good friend Susan Highton and multiple dogs. Susan and Joanne will be in obedience and gun dog sweeps but most of our entries are...

Fantastic news!! Congratulations to both of you, couldnt happen to a harder working, nicer team.

I have judged Hunt Tests (JH/SH/MH) and WC/WCI/WCX in Canada for many many years. In BC I used to judge around 4 weekends a year, but there were a lot of tests and hard to find judges. In Ontario, I...

We have co-owned a lot of dogs over the years. First one was with a bitch we bought and owned back a puppy. It worked out fine, we did the breeding, provided the puppy and breeder signed off. We have...

Bottom line is that marking needs to be judged by whether the dog went straight out or not, had hunts along the way or not, etc. I am skeptical that the dog did a 100 yd memory swim and ended up at...

For marking puppies we use nail polish. Blue for boys, red for girls, and start from head down to tail: head, rt shoulder, lft shoulder, mid-back, rt hip, lft hip, butt, tail. Only get 8 markings...

A couple of points on this point, just in my opinion.

Both Penn Hip and OFA look at the joint and use different methods to try and see the hip itself (phenotype). So, my belief is that the most...

That is a great accomplishment, congrulations,

We use ultrasound to confirm pregnancy and get an estimate of large vs small litter for taking reservations. The ability to count the puppies correctly is directly based on the skill of the tech. We...

I agree with the others. In Goldens at least, there is definately a family link with allergies and they can be a nightmare for the dog and the owners. So this is something that I would not want to...

In the longer term obviously the best answer is force fetch, but its not something you should try to "ram" through in a few days. As was said by others, just get the dog used to having a duck it his...

Quite a few people fly in and pick up our puppies, and use a Sherpa bag. They often do get asked for the international health certificate which shows the puppy has been examined within 10 days and no...

A couple of points come to mind.

One is that often an obstacle is intentionally used to push the dog off line, to see how they handle back on. Normally, a judge would want to make it possible...

Fantastic! I am so impressed and happy for all three of you. This is yet another incredible accomplishment. Congratulations.

Not knowing you or your pup it is hard to say where it should be. I'd worry about trying to be so precise that you could tell from a book where a 12 week pup should be. Sounds a bit like you may get...

Fantastic photo, thanks for brightening our day

NAFTCH, FTCH. Brasdor's Razzl Dazzl - Razz won the Canadian National Amateur in, I think, 1991. I was fortunate enough to watch her pretty much throughout the trial as Trial Secretary, and she was...

It is up to the judge to manage the test. So from my perspective, you dont let someone run who is not appropriately dressed. Normally this is either a novice or just someone hurrying/not thinking.

I didnt look up all the different sets of rules but AKC rules (ch 3 Section 12) describe interferance by an honor dog in terms of breaking. Then following, Section 13 references the judges discretion...
