When a dog returned to an old fall.

Tongue firmly in cheek observer: "Well that's a good spot. Everytime he's been there, he's found a bird so why not go back."


When a dog took a dump in between marks.

Gallery member: "Well there goes his brains."


When handler loses sight of dog and doesn't know where the mark fell.

Handler: "Is that where the bird landed?"
Judge: "We'll see."


Handler to a pro-trainer at a HT.

Handler: "That sure looks like a confident dog."
Pro: "Yes, he's very confident but rarely correct."

After a long discussion of why a high-priced, high-bred dog had failed to perform up to his billing, an old timer put his finger on it, "Apparently, he didn't read his own pedigree."

This reminded me of a Qual I was watching. A long time pro showed up with his first dog and the judge asked if he had any questions. The pro, without skipping a beat said "No, it looks good. I'd heard this was the National Qualifying event." :razz:

Well, this is some commentary on FB after a Master hunt test where I was behind a gun station all day, had not planned on it, forgot my hat, sunscreen and basically sun burned everything I had exposed. Anyway, I did not get the joke for months, but it was very true!!

Observer: "Congrats. Now how sun burned is your head?"

ByronKeith Musick "Ya! Actually not bad at all, went home Saturday, rubbed my head in Alo Vera goop, greased it up real good, woke up cool as a cucumber!!" ( I Lied)

Byron Musick "Next time I will not forget my HAT!!"

Observer: "Haha. I was thinking he is going to be feeling that. Yea that white hair was sticking out of the holding blind. Was that you blowing the duck call in the last series of master on Friday?"

Byron Musick "Master B, they had me behind a blind all day! My duck call skills stink, so that must have been me!"


Observer: "Hahaha. I was thinking. his dog must reallylike training days that's the only time she gets any retrieves. Hahahaha. Thanks for working the stations."

And I was thinking, gee, my dog's really do like training days!! It took several months for me to realize the comment was that my hunting skills must really suck based on the way I call in HT's, I am more likely to call in a buck in rut than a bird!! But at least I get the dog's attention!! :)

Systematic Dog Training

I've heard tons. Most of the time I'm on the wrong end of them. :oops::oops:

My sig has one of my favorites from Clay. There are numerous others from him that are very quotable too. He has a lot of them.

As far as the one that rings clear of late (Not from Clay.).

"Do you want to run these dogs?"

"Sure."

"Well go get a handler jacket on, grab your whistle, & leave your feelings off your shoulders.". Great quote. Very true. Soo much to learn regards.

This would have to be the number one mistake that many new dog owners make when trying to train their dog.

A normal dog training classes would require you to take your dog at a specific time and it can be hard to maintain it for the seven or eight weeks needed to complete the course. There will be days when the times coincide with other important activities you need to do. With private trainers, you have the flexibility in appointments and you have the chance of setting up the most convenient time for you.

"Your dog just ran a real nice blind, just that's not the blind we are running today."

When handlers ask how much latitude (can they move left or right once dog is sent, etc.) they have when running the blind. Judges' reply "You can move wherever you need to, but I'm judging the blind from here."

When the dog blows up in the third series mid-afternoon, "Well, looks like you can go ahead and feed and air."
