It's not the food's fault that individual dogs do not always get along with it.
Dogs are unique. Like snowflakes.

There are lots of 30/20 performance foods out there. Not every dog is going to...

Every dog that I've had that got recurring ear infections, always got them in only one ear. And it was always the same ear.

Since the time I learned that it's often caused by a food allergy, I...

What's that?

Common ground, that's what that is.
Anything is possible.

The pet Lab breeders aren't selecting anything other than boy parts and girl parts. Sometimes, they select for color.

And that's a fact Jack.

The people that buy from those breeders, don't know...

How would you feel about the idea of making them suffix titles?

Most people believe that QAA carries more "weight" than MH. But, MH shows up on the pedigree.

What percentage of the dogs running in the Q, would you estimate were entered for the purpose of being qualified to enter Limited stakes, vs the owner seeking to add QAA to the dog's resume?

Face...

So is the QAA designation.

I agree that A win, or A 2nd should not be deserving of a "Q" title. However, I still don't see how "designing" a Qualifying title could possibly devalue an All-Age title.

In AKC HT, there are...

A dog that wins a Q, gets a blue ribbon. Does that devalue the blue ribbon given at an open stake?

If they can't perform in the field, NOTHING else matters.

And performing in the field, means a lot more than what it takes to earn a JH title.

Has anybody paused to consider that "letting" the breed split, might have been the single most significant reason that Labrador Retrievers absolutely dominate the field in Retrieving events?

In...

You didn't deserve that.

Wasn't there already a dog sitting at the honor?

I went ahead and did the math for you (because I have that kind of time).

The "standard" tubing puts a force of 93.2# on the release, at 300% stretch.
The "heavy" tubing puts a force of 105# on...

And just in case you are either obsessed with wall thickness, or interested in the math.......................

That was an hour long heavily biased expose, that boils down to an end result that we need to select for function.

A working dog's active career, is the ultimate test of ability and fitness. ...

Order speargun tubing from an online dive shop.

You can use up to 1/2" O.D. tubing in the Zinger pulleys.

Speargun tubing has an I.D. of 1/8th".
That means that 7/16" O.D. speargun tubing...

I'd say that the audio is WAY ahead of the video.

If you video yourself clapping your hands three times or so, it would be possible for a person to sync the audio with the video at home. Provided...

I will say this though, the ZWII does NOT have a sound resonance chamber. And because of that, it's not nearly as loud as a 209 primer out of the older Multi-shot releases, or out of the Train-rite...

I think it used to be true, but I don't believe that the G4 multi-shot has a resonance chamber anymore.

Imagine that.

The biggest difference, is that the Mini-Z has a set of short throw hooks, and the fancy multi-shot release.
I have ZWII's and with the stock tubing, the throw distance is not significantly longer...

Fair enough.

I cannot think of an instance where a person would apply any form of pressure in conjunction with a known command that the dog would reasonably have been expected to perform anyway, if not for the...

Probably not. I understand what I said, but it's obvious that a lot of others don't.

I do not believe that it's possible to solve specific training problems via an internet forum. However, I do...
