Mr Atkinson - the creator and architecht of our beloved RTF, was, perhaps, a bit clairvoyant when he put this on the home page.

.....
If I were to buy a Labrador retriever or two with the intention of making one or both finished gun dogs from puppy-hood, what are all the words and expressions I need ...

Very easy Fitz.
The words YOU need are...
'What amount should I make the check out for this month?"
That will get it done for you. 😏

LMAO Ken!!!
That would be 'priceless'.

 

[Kenneth Niles Bora]

And what does this mean in any glossary of terms?

It is GDG of course!
BTW bird boys are avian technicians these days. And there is an entire series of videos to help you work smart.

 

[drunkenpoacher]

It's important that both dog and trainer start the day well rested.

Google Developer Groups??

Nope try again

 

[Colonel Blimp]

Then what is the name of the person who throws the marks for retriever training? Bumper Jock?

Position already taken, the in-house Bumper Jock is Polmaise.

Bird Boy - (BB) The person, male or female, throwing the item for the dawg to retrieve

I object to the use of boy outside of the strict masculine context.
Perhaps, 'girl' should be used whenever appropriate in terms such as this.


Another suggestion: this website might adopt a comprehensive glossary of retriever-specific, gun dog training and general dog terms and publish it here. This should include voice commands and abbreviations/codes on pedigrees. This should also include tack (grooming supplies, not horse bridles and bits) and dog handling/training equipment.


Examples (by no means exhaustive):

-AKC
-back
-baseball (major leagues?)
-bench
-blind (as a bat?)
-cast (Hollywood film characters?)
-CERF
-CH
-cheat (adultery?)
-cold (ker-CHOOO?)
-command (men's hair spray?)
-dam (no cussing now!)
-dead
-dew claws
-drills (carpenter and dentist tools?)
-FC
-field trial
-finished
-flush
-force fetch
-gundog
-handling (field retriever context)
-head halter
-heel
-hold
-honor
-housebreak
-kennel
-leave it
-line breaking
-mark
-MH
-natural breeding (horse folks call it natural cover)
-nick (did you cut yourself shaving and get blood on your favorite hunting vest?)
-obedience
-OFA
-out
-over
-pedigree (dog food brand?)
-place
-point (how rude to do this to strange people in a crowd!)
-positive reinforcement
-roll over
-shopping (selection of bumpers from a pile)
-sire
-sit-stay
-slip lead
-speak (not bark!)
-started
-steady
-stop (dog anatomy)
-whistle stop (train station of sorts?)


If I were to buy a Labrador retriever or two with the intention of making one or both finished gun dogs from puppy-hood, what are all the words and expressions I need to know to speak canine parlance intelligently? I believe a smart dog owner and trainer should know how to talk DOG smartly.

It's been a long and lonely Winter for you; hasn't it???:?

I OBJECT! I mean BFD really who cares! I guess we could just call them bird humans:roll:. If minorities would quit worrying about being minorities and just be Americans I think it would solve a lot of problems. Sorry the LRC thread has me riled up.

 

[Vicky Trainor]

Oh give me a break. If the term "Bird Boy" offends you, I hope you have some thick skin because I see your time spent here might be very interesting.

 

[Steve Shaver]

Good Saturday morning! Please have a double shot of brandy in your Folgers decaf to calm your riled nerves.

Now what about my plan to have a comprehensive glossary of dog speak and retriever parlance HERE?

Sounds like a weener?

Brandy as well as decaf is for sissies. I prefer a good strong cup of mud along with a good straight shot of 80 proof whiskey. I drink 3 cups of coffee before bed time and sleep like a baby. Thought there already was a glossary of terms. Stick around you will learn. Hopefully you have already learned a thing or two.

 

[Steve Shaver]

Had a guy tell me my dog was a nice bitch, now that's offensive. It was a 7 month old male. Saturday morning and 9 degrees out, just waiting for the sun to rise:roll:

 

[Kenneth Niles Bora]

... I still can't find the glossary while navigating this site. . .
.

You put a link to the glossary in your original post of this thread. Are you not typing yourself for yourself by yourself? Have you figured out what GDG stands for yet?

Talk about offensive, I have been told a Chesapeake of mine was a nice chocolate Labrador. I mean, how low is that?

 

[ripline]

Defamation of a chocolate

 

[BonMallari]

Next thing you know someone is going to tell me they have a transgendered dog....or a non binary dog

You have obviously never had good Brandy. 100 proof regards.....-Paul

We use the term "bird tech" - covers all genders.
