I wouldn't. Risk outweighs the gains. Exercise in moderation.

How about Chessies?

Ahh, motivation is a wonderful thing. Thanks for sharing.

And the table of contents photo is Tony's as well. Daytona is the submarine commander.

Fun weekend for sure. SOWEGA is a first class club and they are good people.

I love doing place board marks with my guys. I phase out the PB and just use a white flag. I use the command "place" or "back" interchangebly. The reward is getting to the pole and getting a mark....

... you let the kids in your class know you will not be there on Friday and they ask if you getting the "dog flu".

I think the best thing is to ask yourself: "if that was my dog, what I want someone to do?". If it is abuse, say something. If the owner deems it not to be abusive, then that is thier business. If...

Congrats on the new title

I love the lip pinch method. You can control the pressure to each dog and you have control of the mouth. I find it doesn't take much pressure to get a response and the dog picks up the concept of...

I debated on chiming in, but I can’t help myself. As has been stated numerous times: “we are not hunting, we are testing”. Yes, in hunting the bird can sail – but the dog sees the bird sailing and...

Hi Kevin. My mom is stable now, so I can play with the doggies again. I got a really nice young Chessie I hope to play with in the spring or next fall. Say hi to all your way.

I remember Trio as a baby. Sorry for your loss

Some examples of what i would consider contrary marks include a mark thrown from the crest of the hill down the hill, boat mark thrown to the shore or throwing a mark from the island back to shore. ...

While I have many "favorite" retriever and hunting memories, my all time favorite memory involves a little boy (I don't know his name) and Blitz. We were in Ontario for the summer and had the...
