Nice to hear as mine is on the way now. Can't wait to get it... Given the GPS system is a high-sensitivity one, I think the Astro is a legal "no-no" in Canada. Even though I know you guys can get your hands on them through various means, could they ever be used in trials there? It is the MURS syste...

Do I understand your post correctly that it is APPROVED for American Field trials and pending with the AKC?? I know there revised collar looked like it would meet the size requirements, but I didn't know how far along in the approval process they were. It makes perfect sense that they would approve...

This might sound silly, but what are calcutta's??? I've never heard of them before!!

WOW... 5 points is a big take. Congrats on that!!!

Short of that find yourself a reputable pro trainer and invest the time and money for an honest evaluation and perhaps a bit of intro training for her.....it may just be the best money you ever spent to get your dream of your dog as your hunting partner to come to fruition :wink: What KiKi's mom sa...

Great news... that's a lot of dogs to beat. You have every reason to be proud.

Well played gar-dog... I'm impressed. I should try that tactic on my wife and see what happens!!

Awesome news... the hard work payed off!!

Hmm, last time I checked at the Hudson Valley trial, a certain setter person was feeding mojitos to KiKi's Mom... wonder who THAT was????

I have split this from the Buddy thread. This has in the past, over it seems 100 times, been a lightening rod issue. I will be extremely tight on this thread. Factual answers only, please. Sorry Greg... I didn't know that this had been an issue before. I was just curious what it was. Thanks for fil...

This may be a silly question, but I checked out the NSTRA site, and isn't it much like field trials? Or are trials judged to a more strict criteria (I've seen both criteria, but have only been to one FT so far, and never to a NSTRA one). Why would people look down on NSTRA? I'm lost as to what the d...

Just got my TT Pro 100 EXP... and I'm checking it out. Here's a question. It says that bottom red button is low stim., upper red one is medium stim, and both together is high stim. How does this all factor into the dial (level 1 thru 6)? If I set it on 1, would the high stim be higher than a low 3 f...

I think I read something about this before, but don't remember where. When teaching a dog to back another on point, if you are using a backing board, should my dog smell the bird before backing, or should she back as soon as she sees another dog pointing, regardless of any smell? Just thought I'd as...

SO, I'M OFFICIALLY HOOKED!!!!! I went to my first field trial with the Hudson Valley Brittany Club this weekend, and it was a weekend of firsts!

Some really good points raised on here. If someone is willing to pay $1000 for a 8wk old pup, and are happy with that and give it a loving home and family, isn't that ok? So long as the owner is happy with that, then so be it. If they could get the same dog at $300, and are happy, then that is that....

Thanks... I was extremely proud of her. My wife and I wanted to go to the show, but it was a 9 hour drive (or so) one way, so we opted out. Now we wish we did, but the timing was great for us, so at least we know she was in good hands there! Thanks for the kind words...

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. That was a fitting tribute to a life-long friend and companion. I hope you are comforted in knowing that Blaze is waiting for you when you are to meet again.

My name is Travis, and I'm 31 years old. I'm an enforcement officer here in Ontario.

Pardon my ignorance as I'm an eastern woods hunter, but when you say that they will only hold if your dog has a good nose... what does that mean? If the dog has already found them, wouldn't they hold then? Or, is it that they really have to hone in on the scent and accurately locate them, and then t...

When I had my pup, I worked on obedience a great deal... stay, come (or here, which ever you prefer), down and such. As for the biting, some say you should put your thumb under their tongue with your fingers under the jaw. Don't apply pressure but just hold the pup's head there. They soon don't like...
