This has been an awesome discussion!

I am a member of many clubs from obedience, to breed clubs to field. They all have the same problems.

I have also had Flatcoats for about 20 years.

Yes they can have health problems, make sure you go to a breeder who does all the clearances, and tracks the health and longevity in their lines....

The Central Florida Hunting Retriever Club Fall UKC Hunt test is this weekend in Montverde FL.

UKC allows day of entries, so come on down and enjoy a nice weekend with us.

Thanks Jim
I was trying to remember what you used. Good to know that when Tripp is ready for the big time that the Zinger II can throw those field trial marks :)

I've read back over all the past posts on Zinger Wingers vs GU and its making my head spin.

I'd like to get several wingers, need them to be lightweight as I will be walking them out into the...

What model Lee should I look for on ebay? My thumb will thank you.

Will it also finish seating the primer on the ones I could only push in part way with my thumb? I have a bag of these as I...

I've been successfully reloading Remmington .209 primers into Fiocchi shells I get for free after training days or HT. Most slip in easy with a push of the thumb. But some dont. My thumb...

I'm one of those newbies that was at the Treasure Coast Derby in January - it was a blast! We were dropped after the first series but I was thrilled that my pup had picked up both birds and it was...

Thanks!
Considering I train him myself and don't have property big enough for field trial marks - I was absolutely thrilled with how he ran. It was great fun!

A big thank you to Amy and Scott and everyone who made the weekend a success! Amy was smiling every time I saw her and helped to make it all fun.

It was the first time I had ever even seen a...

So what would YOU like for Christmas :)

I have sent in my entry for Hunter. I also have a lab friend who's dog is in. She can't wait for him to retire so she can start field work. :) We found out she has a lot of talent in her...

I sent my derby entry yesterday! First timer - be nice to me :)

This is a great discussion, thanks! I've been meaning to review the dog insurance to see if there is a better one out there. I've had VPI for almost 6 years now.

My experience has been very...

Vet Pet Insurance is who I have used. They simply ask for the dogs vet records when you sign up.

So is there any way to check for snakes around florida ponds before running a dog?

Sending lots of good thoughts your way for Peace's quick recovery.

Yes its A LOT harder in the Gld and Lab ring to get a CH owner handled. Nicole - you have to have Annie show you her turn at the end of the down and back. Fisher just floats around - its...

[QUOTE=Pete;517982]I have never in my life seen a difficult water mark in a JR.

cant ever remember long entry before the water

all have been straight foward.

Actually my dogs...

You can go back to walking fetch and alternate bird and bumper every other one. You select what you want her to retrieve and what to ignore. They are on leash and close. When you say fetch she...

Anything the club would like to get feed back on. Its pretty easy to create a form and put on it that name is optional. Have a form on the registration table with a box people can put the...

You might want to contact the clubs and find out when and if they have training days (if its not posted to their web sites) I belong to two field clubs currently. One gives access to training land...

One good factor is fine for a JH dog- the problem I've seen is Multiple factors.

IF the club and AKC wants to encourage people to get into the sport, one good meaty factor on a mark is...

I think there are two pretty easy solutions to try

1. Instead of making up a fake hunting story (senario) Why don't the judges just tell the handlers the reasoning for the bird placement. ...
