Re: Field Trial Question AA vs SD
Where we run most of the time you can run an AA dog, but only if they turn with you. It separates the men form the boys for sure. I think AA is a lot of perception too.

I have never understood the whole no birds for puppies thing. Our vizsla clubs always try and put out birds for the pups. We plant the same course - because that is all that we have. A Gund dog should be broke - no matter where the birds are. last I checked broke is broke. Not broken.
