Here's the story. Ran my 2yr Lab in Master HT this weekend. Scenario.... Aces first series. Triple land marks with 2 outside blinds just off outside marks. Dog nailed all the marks. Perfect on blinds. Next series.... Land/water with remote sit & honor. Scenario.... 80 yard land mark to the right, 30-40 yard middle mark/duck thrown right at edge of water in the mud were toolies as well meet the water. Left hand shot flyer 15 yards straight into water maybe 10-20 feet in. (Breaking test scenario). After marks, water blind straight over middle bird mark to rock point 20 yards farther out into water. Well, dog pinns all three marks. Reset up for blind. (This is were I might as well had just bent over and said "Ram Me Hard!" I took pictures, but can't figure out how to get them onto this site.) Send dog for blind, stop him right on top of mark area. Now, again so you all understand the scenario, this is were water meets mud/beach with water toolies on right side. These toolies fill pond edge on right hand side. Anyway, next cast, Verbal Left hand back. NOW,my dog is pretty much rock solid on handling. Dog turns around, goes back, but is scaling right when he needs to be scaling left. Whistle stop him quickly. BEING a right hand turning dog, he 5' loops to stop which puts him visibly just behind toolies. Thinking I'm still good, I LHBack cast again. Dog does same thing.Scales left.Quick whistle stop.Dog dies his 5' loop left to sit. Now, Ican barely see hi mbehind toolies. Give him an Left OVER cast. Dog goes left. 15' scales up onto island behind toolies on end of island.Whistle stop. Come in whistle 10' right to bird. Dog comes back. Get a few claps. do my honor. I think I'm good to go. Along with everybody in gallery I talked too. In other words, dog was very solid all day. Well, callbacks come. I don't get a call back! So, I trek down ask judges what's going on. First response was that I didn't challenge the blind and dog wasn't in the water. I said,"are you kidding me? I stopped him right on top of the mark. And he was sitting in water the whole time! How did I not challenge the blind? So there next response was I had whistle refusals. Again I said,How's that ? He took every cast I gave him. 5 casts. Dog took every one of them. Next response was that had this been a "Cheating blind and dog and dog was 5' into shore, he would had been out. I said maybe so, but this is not the case or test and it wasn't as if he ran the shore around the toolies to get the bird. Again they tried to say it was whistle refusals. So I said OK, I'll give you one that Istill don't see were, but your going to drop me for one supposedly whistle refusal, but your going to pass 5 dogs that deliberatly false linded there dogs, after taking pictures up to 15' off line? I said I train to challenge the blind, which I did, NOW your saying it's OK to False line your dog and get to the bird? I told them had I known that I would had done the same thing. But that's not how I train and not what I do! Well nothing mattered. Also judges never discribed what they wanted or didn't want or I would had went about the whole thing completly different if I had known it was OK to false line. Bottom line, always ask if judges don't tell you what they want. Thats the lesson I guess I've learned.Ultimatly, I feel I was robbed!
