I have a 3 1/2 year old spayed Lab. She has developed a problem of late. She leaks when she is laying in the house. She is let out regularly, and when the leakage occurs, she has shown no signs of...

Does anyone have the results of the Qual run at Mobile this past weekend? Nothing on EE yet.
Thanks very much.

My girl is with Dan Devos, in Alabama, for the second winter in a row. She has been gone since mid-November. Last year the winter seemed to drag on and on. The same this year. Thankfully I have a...

My dog an I hunt late season here in Northern Canada. We hunt a marsh that is fed by warm water from a nearby power plant. Parts stay open year round and the hunting can be great.
I hunted her...

Ran my girl in her first Qualifying campaign this year. She ended up QAA (QFTR in Canada) with a couple of wins, a few more placings and an 88% finishing average. Next year I will run her in some...

We don't roll out placings, other than first, in either our National or Amateur National in Canada. We do it the same way it is done in the U.S.... National Champion and finalists.
Cheers,

Whatever happened to "Ice". She was sold after winning her 2nd Canadian National in a row.
Is she running the U.S. circuit this year?
Thanks,

My 2 yr old BLF has spent the past four months in Georgia with my pro. She has another month to go before I bring her home.
My question is should I expect her to be out of sorts for a while as she...

Really sorry to hear about your loss. I went through it twice, in a matter of three months, a year ago. The good memories will keep you going.

I live in the Great White North (Alberta, Canada) and I haven't recieved a Retriever News mag in a while. Yes, my subsription is up to date;). Before I call headquarters, I was wondering if any of...

We get them fairly often here in Alberta during the winter. Nice to look at through nine layers of down when it is minus 35 celcius!

There is a great story in the Bill Tarrant book, hey pup fetch it up. He recalls the judges wondering why there was so much suction on one particular blind until someone discovered that one of the...

I may have missed it, but did Punch and Pink compete against each other this past weekend? If so, who won?
Thanks,
Jim

So, sorry to hear about this. Prayers for Nellie, you and Ken.

NIce pic! I hear you about missing your boy. I just put my girl on a plane for a four and a half month southern vacation. I miss her a ton already.

You'll be fine. I am in central Alberta and we just got a skiff of snow last night. The sloughs (ponds) are still wide open and there are plenty of birds still in the area.

We have three apple trees in our yard. From August until the ground is covered in snow it is a constant race to stay ahead of our two canine bandits. They can't get enough. They don't care if they...

I didn't know any better, and was lucky I didn't create a gun-shy dog, but I hunted my first lab at 4 and a half months. He was big and bold. It turned out great and he probably retrieved 100 ducks...

I got the ODHA trilogy from Willow Creek, as a set, years ago. Re-read some of the stories every year. Fantastic writing.
A "must have" book, which has been re-issued in soft-cover is the Duck...

So sorry to hear about your loss. Have had a couple of too-soon good-bye's in the past year and a half. I could almost justyify them with my dogs age. 10 weeks is too tough to imagine. My...

Just finished a weekend hunt test. Temps were in the triples both days. Did the usual stuff (parking facing the sun with an aluminum sun block on the windshield, blocking off the facing windows,...

Certainly understand the emotions reflected in the posts. I ran trials 25 years ago with modest success.. had a family and did nothing in the dog game for years, other than triain my muttts to bring...
