Thanks for all the advice guy's it is much appreciated and if me or the pup can't adapt or deal with it I guess I will take my money and go elsewhere like Neil suggested. One thing I noticed is I was about half the age of everyone else so maybe it is a good thing if people like me stayed but I could...

http://gundogforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=47295 I LITERALLY had the same exact problem at my first trial this past Sunday.

I went to my second trial on Sept 1st which was a fun trial not an actual trial, My question is with the two trials I have been to both times the handler's I have been braced with were in my opinion very vocal and I was wondering if this is normal ?

I am not saying anything negative about the mods i think any good keeper of the peace knows when to bend the rules and when to let people bend the rules, it is a slippery slope.

I know of a breeder who had his leg broken by a chessie that ran in to him full force, think about a 45 pound dog running at full tilt into something it could cause damage no doubt about it.

This is part of the problem how does one only work for 30 years of there life?

It is this ki...

Lets get real. You expect someone to work for thirty years. raise a family, send the kids to college, then live for another 40 years and have enough to pay for that without a pension. That doesn't even make sense. And then to have the guts to tell your dad to get out of the way so you can work. Not...

This is a question because i am ignorant on this subject, How does a judge score a dog in a released trial as opposed to a wild bird trial ?

I am not really the issue. You will have to look within yourselves to figure out your own insecurities. This is my point with my dogs. Positive reinforcement is better than negative.

They do make great pets but they need enough mental and physical stimulation to keep them from being vocal or destructive but we all know that already.

Just remember this littler is breed to run and compete. You may find that it is too much dog for a "pet". Have the breeder help you select a layback pup if they can find one. Nice ped.
