THATS GOOD EMERY, KEEP'EM COMING...

I don't think Emery is trying to be funny.

He hit my deffinition right on the head.
I've been to two Brace trials in the last year, and they were both just about like that. Maybe more like four barks. But they only move about ten yards in twenty minutes.

The dogs don't try to follow a rabbit they just tell you where he has been.

BTW I went because I took my father to BS with his old buddies.

A Walkie talkie is you jumping a Rabbit then the dogs never circleing it because it already left out and got cold before they get back up on it.

They sure do have good mouths though.

I too think Emery hit on the head!

I went to a spo trial once. The dogs had to have the rabbit chased out then they walked the line, barking a few times, walking some more. Don't think you could shoot over these dogs because the rabbit is about a half hour ahead. Good if you like to listen and watch and walk with a cane right behind your dog.

To each his own. lol I have had dogs that are slow but not spo slow and fast but not lph fast. Still have fun!

I use a cane also, so watch it!! I use it mainly to beat the brush but it's nice to lean on when they're running.

I'm 67 but can still walk pretty good. I talked to a guy that is into those walkers. To each his own. He told me he hunts with them. Then he said it would take them 20 minutes to work across the parking lot we were standing in. I haven't got that many years left to wait that long to shoot!!!!!!!!!!!

All running hound people have terms that we are all familiar with like cutting, skirting, backtracking, etc.

The Brace trial folks have one term that I have never heard before except with them.

Wheelbarrelling!

See who knows (besides me) what that means.

Alabama John,
I have no idea but I'll take a guess: the dogs are running so close together that one has head under another belly and lifts first one back legs off the ground. That's what I would call wheelbarreling. Woodrow
