How about creating software for garmin to do the judging, the collar picks up when a dog barks ,and by linking the five collars and when the dogs bark , the rabbit track could be created , the dog that leads the pack and runs the most track wins , shure would save a lot of running for judges. Dont w...

Jim I agree 100 % , 10 second checks would bring a better dog back in almost all cases ,And Ivan I think 3 minutes is a plenty of time to produce a rabbit.
