Its hasent been a good winter here probly worst one in a while for rabbits numbers dogs spend alot of time looking for one to run. We have had snow all winter so you can see tracks and there hasnt been hardly any all winter. To me on the years when the rabbit numbers are good they run good but when ...

Glad to see your still making freinds chappy

Thats all right chap you can keep your dogs havent been to a trial in over a year my 2 boys both play 3 sports and its year round hauling them to practices and games. My entry fee money goes to them entering them in wrestling tournments and other needs. Wouldnt trade it for the world watching them c...

I did it with one of my dogs father was akc mother was ukc only but a couple of generations back was akc breeder just didnt register with akc as long as you have paper work from another registry they will research it.

Once I can trust dogs I dont put them on usually when they are 2 or 3 years old but once in awhile have to put back on when one needs to be reminded who the boss is.

I agree with the wrestleing both my boys started wrestling this year they are 6 and 8 had a tough time at the first tourney but hopefully they will improve by the end of the season.

Your braver then me when its that cold I stay inside.

At AKC trials I would like to see them measure the dogs before the hunt

Congrats to my good buddy Paul Woodbury winning 13" females with Woodburys Molly even though he beat me

Hope you have a good turnout Brian not going to make it down. A little short on funds so I picked up a shift on fri night and kids have soccer games on sunday.

I understand what your saying cheif. I guess I am lazy because I just walk the paths I figure that if the dogs want to run a rabbit they can find there own and if they dont want to find there own they will be looking for a new home.

So then why do the marshalls and handlers bust the brush to try to get rabbits up. They may say it at the seminar but when a dozen guys are spread out walking through the brush how can they tell when a dog isnt hunting. Dont get me wrong I like all formats as I just like running dogs. I have ran AKC...
