Well said! A hunt test is more than just judging a dog do the work. The dog and handler are part of a team, and dogs get dropped every weekend because a handler makes a boneheaded mistake...can't...

I guess that's the difference between AKC and NAHRA....we see a couple of remote sits every year and have to be ready for it, as it will invariably come up, and that is probably the reason I...

So, the hand doesn't solve the creep, but it solves the break? If you use your hand for "steadiness" cue...ie the dog does not go until it sees the hand, what do you do when you are hunting? You...

So...for those that use your hand on the send for marks....what do you do for a dog that is on a remote sit? Do you then walk over to the dog and send with your hand?

I will echo what Darin said...additionally, your pup is at the right age to be formalizing your OB and FF, if your plan on doing FF. You can get a lot of meaningful work completed in the basement. ...

Stan....you have met me, and I know your co-judge....I was at the first test that you ran with Elvis, and even judged you and him later on....tell the redhead hello, and make sure she sends along...

Apparently Jchristi hasn't been on this site that much....this was a tame thread compared to some of the snarkiness found on here....=)

Stan, I heard you were judging up in Manitowoc this...

I'm not that far from you....Carver county....Mayer MN....

Rob, I grew up in WI...I've been to GB on multiple occasions....you know you are stretching the truth...:-P

Hmm....pretty big accomplishment, putting an MH on a three year old dog....did you do all that training yourself?

I seriously hope your joking with this sentiment, as it is highly hypocritical. Where exactly are the North Dakota Retriever Club grounds? Out of all the tests that you have run with your dog, how...

Is this thread dead, or are we still taking shots?

I am bringing mine along this weekend. I have a brushed in blind that sits on a point, and I am taking it to conceal the dog from birds working overhead. She will also be sitting out in front a...

Your right...we need videos of girls in bikini's killing birds....like PETA does with their anti-meat propaganda....I will see what I can do...;-)

It has to end with the death of the animal, otherwise you wouldn't be able to skin it, gut it, grill it, or eat it.....Once the animal is dead, they can do whatever they want with it, as long as they...

I have a 27 month old female that was sired by Pirate. The dam was GMHR TNT Drifter's Blast of Kyanne...Cali's littermate earned his MH at 23 months and did quite well in the few derby's he...

That wasn't toe jam in the bottom of them either when you put them on...:-P

Sounds like a test that I set up in MN this summer....Saturday, right? The spirit of NAHRA, and something that I wouldn't change for the world, is that we try to make our hunting scenarios...

I'm glad that I had a hand in this....=D Next time I'm going to give you a lump of coal so you can turn it into a diamond for me...that was some serious pucker factor....:razz:

yeah...must be...since I test in MN and WI....I saw this happen at a Senior test in Wisconsin, this summer, as a matter of fact. First time I even saw an AKC rep at a test...scenario....angle entry...

And the Master test would be a reasonable test that the everyday trainer could pass, right? I think we need to look at this in both directions...if the JH dog should be able to do a MH mark as a...

Interesting thread. Lots of posters saying a "good mark is a good mark" etc, and that it is appropriate for a JH dog to complete it as a single, SH as doubles, MH as trips or quads....What I am...

Ok....the judges give the scenario….say there is a gator out there…..your only question is, “this is simulating a early teal hunt in TX or LA, correct?” They say “yes it is”….You come to the the...

LOL....yeah, it was for Troy Feeken. I figured with as much shooting as he does over the season, he would have a good feel for his kill to shot ratio. And I agree with your previous post, I would...
