Re: Garmin Astro 320 T5
I have now come up with reasons why the T5 won't be legal for AKC (even though listed it) 1. Garmin isn't even selling them yet. 2.The T5 and TT 15 looks identical other then the prongs so judges literally have to feel for the prongs which most won' want to do. 3. The AKC doesn't allow lighted coll...

The point is being in an AKC Derby trial. A dog must point and have a shot fired over them. No mention of birds. We're talking about Derby and the possibility of becoming a class gun dog.

Re: What is Derby Broke ?
In AKC, a dog is a Derby from 6 months to 2 years, the dog must point(staunch) but does not get extra credit for steady to wing and shot. And does not need to back. For some judges a flash point is all that is needed, and the dog can knock and chase before the handler flushes. For most the dog shou...

You don't have to give them the new owners names or any info other than they require from you. But you have to keep all records of your breedings, dates, females to males and such. They can and will stop you from registering any other litters in the future if they want.
