My vote would be for the Dogtra 3500. Extremely reliable, holds a very long charge, excellent range (1 mile) and I personally can tell you that it is waterproof (was been dropped in the ponds a few...

What actually did happen with Chopper? Just interested, as I have a Chopper pup that is progressing very well in the hunt test game (extremely high drive pup).

Check out Pat Nolan in Smithsburg, MD (ponderosakennels.com). This should be alot closer to you than the Eastern Shore. I live outside Pgh,PA and sent my lab to Pat with very good results.

Had the true pleasure of meeting the 2009 High Point Derby dog today - Raider! Dale you really have an awesome pup there. At 11 weeks doing amazing water retrieves to hand, good response to whistle,...
That's the Mad Man that I know!
Hey Dale,
Awesome looking pup (I'm jealous and can't wait to get my new one in August). Just gives us a reason to get out and train more (not that we need one).
Very glad that Maggie made it...
I'll go out on a line and make a prediction -- after 2 periods of the hockey game (Pens 5 Flyers 0) ---- The PENS are going to the Stanley Cup Finals. "Experience The Evolution!!!!"
Give Pat Nolan a try in Smithsburg, MD - Ponderosa Kennels. He does alot of his summer training near Buckeystown, MD.
Curiously, being a fairly newby to the sport, we passed our first 4 JR tests but at the first test, the judge did "warn" me about using the verbal cue "mark". I continued to cue him with "mark"...
I would have to agree. Although some people may have an extremely great marking dog, those of us that are less experienced handlers would be less inclined to go up against a pro even though the pro...
Have to admit, don't use a holding blind every time. Definitely will do more in future.
I have tried facing him away from the blind and facing me at edge of blind with me in between him and course...
Need some advise and tips with holding blind training. This is my first lab and thus far has done great in his training. His first 2 Jr tests (18 months old) were passes but his holding blind manners...
Give a call to Stone Creek Game Birds in Burgettstown, PA (724 947-3574). Very good prices but no ducks only pheasants, chukars & quail.
Congratulations Dale!!!
Good for Merlin! Give me a buzz when to want to get him out and running again. Would like to see him run.

I was at that same JR hunt test at Dover (Delbay) and actually the judge came to me after running my dog #8 and informed me of my scores without my asking.
Thanks Dale,
I was most concerned about me making a mistake and less so Max. (Although a 6 1/2 drive for a one day test kind of reminds you to be a little more on your toes not to be foolish.) For...
Guys, our dogs our truly a man's best friend. If you don't believe it, just try this experiment. --- Put both your dog and your wife in the trunk of your car for an hour. When you open the trunk, who...
I have both Dokkens and Avery. My dog does seem to like the Dokkens better. If they are all in a pile, my dog will always go and pick up the Dokkens first.
Way to go Giants!!! Super Bowl loss could not have happened to a better team. NE Pats didn't get a loss for cheating but they sure did get beat today!
"Bilicheat" showed his truce colors at the end...
I would have to agree with Angie. My BLM developed chronic cough that the vet treated for presumed kennel cough but nothing worked until I removed the horsestall mats. Within 24 hours his symptoms...
Had a good friend whose fairly new (< 1 yr old) Pathfinder spontaneously caught fire from faulty electrical problem. It "went up" pretty fast - total loss as well as everything in it. His wife was...
Hey Dale,
Glad to hear Merlin is coming around. I'm sure he's just as eager as you to get out there and do some running. Let me know when he's up to it and we'll get the dogs out.

Been looking at both the GMC Sierra Denali (had a Chevy in past) as well as the Tundra. The new 5.7 liter V8 (381 hp) on the Toyota is a far better engine as well as more efficient (essentially gets...
I'm in Greensburg, just 30 miles east of Pgh.

I do believe the Pitt Panthers showed them (Blue Devils) what a 3-pointer feels like with 4 seconds left. U of Pitt (11-0) and still moving up in the rankings, Duke (10-1) and moving down in the...
