Who sets pace of HB field trial?
In a Gun Dog/Shooting Dog stake. Is it up to the handler to set the pace? If one handler is too fast or slow, can the other handler ask the judge what to do? Can this be considered interference by pushing your dog off course, or so far ahead that judges can't see your dog as often as needed? I belie...

Re: Gspc of Eastern Iowa / Hawkeye Championship
Don't know who won,
but a first year broke female with call name Lexi, handled by Ray Dohse was runner up. She is now #6 GSPCA top ten Open Gun Dog list.

Re: Breeder question about pregnant bitch and puppy food
A good performance dog food is ideal.
It will have all the nutrients that she will need. No need to switch to a puppy food.
You do not want to add any calcium to her diet. Calcium will restrict her going into labor and having contractions. Once she has gone into labor, then calcium is good for her.

Looks like typical of Garmin. Take over a great company that is best at what they do and try to make money only, instead of making a great product.
The same as Garmin Astro and the Alpha. Not cross compatible either.
