Love it!Where did you find this article? Been looking for it.

How about a proposal to just leave everyone alone and let people train on the grounds they have already designated for dog training. Grey Lodge Wildlife area and Oroville Wildlife area are...

Just in case you haven't heard. We are moving to Stillroven Farms, Berthoud, CO June 8-10 2012

Due to drought conditions ( lack of water and possibly unsafe conditions for the dogs ) the Cheyenne Retriever Club is moving it's trial to Sitllroven Farms, Berthoud, CO. The date remains the same...

Seems to me there was more than a couple of high flyers running this weekend and they seemed to handle the tight line or key hole pretty well.

It's my opinion that if your dog doesn't handle well...

In the first place in my opinion there isn't going to be a rerun. I'd give the dog credit to the mark. It's not the dogs fault that the judges didn't walk the grounds to see if there was birds...

Was invited by Peter to judge my first AA stake at Soda Springs, CA in the early 80's. What a great guy. Buy the way I talked to Budge Mack a few weeks back. Peter's right hand man back in the day.

Really!!! Let me get this straight. I travel 500 miles, spend five days of my life live in a crappy motel, sit in the rain or the blistering heat, listen to a lot of people complain so a few of you...

What a great idea. I think we will do that.

[QUOTE=EdA;918726]If the dog was in the corridor for the majority of the blind and out of the corridor for a brief moment one should not make that diversion a pass fail issue, the performance should...

Could not have said it any better. Only question I have for you is this. What if one makes the attempt to get the keyhole and misses. In or out? Or does missing the keyhole just more fodder in the...

With the rising cost of fuel if a judge drives 300-400 miles that works. Any further than that we pay airfair even if they drive. We also pay the rental car if we don't pick them up at the airport....

Just got done reading this thread and wanted to thank Golden Boy 2 for posting the FC-AFC list. It really got me to feeling old. Back in the 80's out on the West Coast when I first entered this sport...

Discussions are good. If you are unable to learn things don't ever get any better. I learn things everyday. I've also learned what I like and dislike. And even those things could change if shown a...

I didn't know that to voice one's opinion on a certain topic one would have to travel 600 miles and spend $170. I don't think that one would have to be there to make a comment about a test that was...

Hey Mark we are meeting down at the T-Bar tomarrow nite. Your invited to come down and apprentice with us if you like. Bring pads for your elbows and a full wallet.

Not only that, I guess six months of Retriever News articles basicaly said the same thing. From the mouths of some of the same people on this very forum.

So does that mean that that's the way it's supposed to be? Or is that just the direction we a heading in due to the lack of knowledge or know how?

The set up is part of the judging process. It is up to the judges also to determine if it's to easy or to hard. Either way you make adjustments or change the test to suit your needs. Obviously these...

Yea you always have to be there to have an informed opinion. Like I'm not entitled to mine.

Why do you seem to be trying to convince me that the test was fair and that the call backs where...

I think all that I said was that it was to much test for the field. I don't think I ever stated that the judges were unfair. You either do it or you don't.

IMO a test that gets the kind of...

Wow dip two. Never thought I'd agree with John.

15 back and 3 handled. 12 placed and or jammed. Hmmm.... Is there anything wrong with this picture?

I guess 76 of those dogs aren't very good...

Would you mind expanding on that?

I think that there is a few out there somewhere.

Gee Bon that all sounds to easy! Are you sure these are qualified judges? They show way to much common sense!

Any news on the trial? What's happening? Any reception up there?

Oh, it hasn't started yet.

I'm sorry. I just couldn't help myself.

Good Luck to all! Don't forget the free B-Q on Sat nite!...
