She was a great dog. Whether laying under the BBQ at the hunt tests or lining the blind making our dogs look silly, she will be missed terribly:.(

If anyone can possibly enter their dog(s) this weekend please do so!!! Our numbers are low and both clubs stand to lose their a$$es. I know that the economy has been rough for all, but all clubs...

Well, I believe you did that for a seasoned pass a couple years ago;-)!!! Congrats on the pass! I'll probably run some master tests next year to see how the other half live.

Put me in for two started and one finished

Very nice! How old is she?

Thank you everyone. Time to have some fun running her this spring with a little less nerves;) and get lil Rocky ready for started next month.

Lol! Sounded like a semi on its jake brake but the smell wasn't like diesel exhaust :.-( !! George did a great job for Steve. It's nice to see the big guy nervous at the line!

I don't reccomend a kiss goodnight;-)

My little rocket dog, Sugar (45#), earned her HRCH title today at Kankakee River HRC's test in Indiana. She is a very special and talented TEAMMATE that I am proud to stand next to at the line. I...

I would not respond if I thought I was being slighted, and as for the "painful" correction he is a TT high 1 level and does not vocalize unless it's at level 2 medium. I never put that much pressure...

No. No barking for anything ( fun bumpers,marks,diversions) but blinds/pile work.

I think that may be an underlying problem. FTP was shown to my friend in a couple sessions then he was to finish the process on his own. I did send him and gave a back nick back enroute to pile and...

I'm trying to help a friend with some drill work. He has a 2yo ylm, good ob, marks well, ff, cc, and TONS of go(out of Finn) The problem he is having (and it is baffling me), is when he is lined up...

Sit whistles!!! I hate when they slip a whistle! Usually turns into a handling nightmare from there on out. If you have a dog the stops when it's told to, you have a dog that will not be far off line.

SH first then finished. Finished might not look like that much more difficult then seasoned but there is a WORLD of leaps and bounds between the two. Give your retriever the experience needed to...

Who uses who for shirts and hats for their retriever clubs/kennels?

Switch to a paint roller for some reason they love this better than bumpers. When he picks it up lots of praise, hand clapping, etc. if he doesn't want to come turn and run away making a lot of...

I prefer smaller sleeker labs (male 70#,female 55#). When I'm not hting or waterfowl hunting I enjoy the upland work. IMOthe small dogs outlast their larger counterparts. Picking a litter...........

I CC before FF because I transition to collar pressure on the table before walking fetch. It seems to work a lot better for the dog and a lot less confusion the first walking fetch session.

We have a club training day every Saturday till the summer then two Saturdays a month. We start the end of January and stop the end of August when the...

I lean towards " doesn't have a clue "

I need to re-string some wingers and was wondering where to purchase some quality tubing. Any suggestions?

Right now let her be a pup. Work on her learning her name, the no command, and housebreaking. Also do some fun things like hallway fetch and introduce her to some feathers/wings/small game birds....

One of the pups from our litter who I sold to a friend seems to have the hiccups for the last 24+ hours. The pup is acting normal and eating fine. I know hiccups are normal in lab pups but is it the...

Never too old but sometimes a lot more difficult because of instilled habits. Join a retriever club in your area and start a training program of your liking. Good luck to you, Larry
