"Not so great move. The members of WAFTC train on the grounds (obviously), test on the grounds (obviously), and therefore know the grounds. It is practically impossible to throw something at them their dogs have not already seen."
Funny you should mention that Kevin....held our Sanction FT there last weekend. In the Open, they ran (judges where Jim Poweres and Deb Bredeson) the last series on a piece of land that ran right up to "the ol' pattern blind". An imfamous blind that was crated and ran for years on the grounds by certian members. Guess what? The dogs (from that group) that made it to that series, ran straight up (middle bird) to "their" OL' Pattern Blind...too funny. No blue ribbon for any of the dogs associated with that group :lol:
Lesson: Knowing and running every inch of any given grounds is not alway an "advantage" .
