There are too many unexpected things that can happen when you are clipping along with the dog attached. Unexpected bolting after a rabbit or squirrel, traffic, other bikes, and other dogs to name few.... From experience. I have tried roading 2 different dogs off bikes. After a couple weeks (each ti...

When asked, go out laterally or behind and locate the dog, come back to gallery/handler and report. There may be certain circumstances when a judge will ask the scout to handle the dog. The best scout is the scout that is never seen or heard

Many many many fine Setters out there that will make most anybody happy and cost $400-$600 instead of $2,000 Even though I like Bo and look forward to seeing what he has thrown I agree with that point.

...I personally believe that a national champion should be given to the dog that has the best season...

I think that you are helping both judges and the other handlers if you pick up. If your not winning anything and you pick up,the judge can then watch the other dog which may be in contention. This will be helpful when the judges are discussing placements because both judges did see at least some of...

Well, based on your responses, I think we'll be good to go.

A setter I got (as a started dog) had the WORST tarter buildup/teeth stains the vet had ever seen - especially for a young dog.
