Wow, we added a third day,(Friday) and still we are full with dogs on a waiting list. Looks like I'll have to add the "Novice Brace" class next year.......!! we are out of room.

Inci, Where and when is this Litton's trial, maybe I'll ride with you! I've only got 2 good dogs to run. And Eric,.... So I go and talk about maybe getting a new job and moving away, and then YOU wind up moving and I'm still stuck here? what's up with that? ha ------------------ "A good dog may be hard to find, ...but a hard dog usually means it's been dead for a while"

Wimp? My hibernation weight is not yet up to par. I've been very busy this past year, getting a bloody nose knocked about in the Open. Finally! last month I placed, ...granted it was 8th place, but at least I know I don't have to start a petition so's I can drop back down into Pro-Novice! ha Much like your rams Inci, I am worn out. I managed to do my part for 3 youngin's and now the young buck ram is tryin' to do me in! He's 15 and taller and bigger and smarter and faster. (I think I'll be out to pasture by the next time you head west and pay us a visit.) ...There will be nothing left of me by the time the two girls get to be teenagers. ------------------ "A good dog may be hard to find, ...but a hard dog usually means it's been dead for a while"

Newguy, I got to hang in there with Inci on this one. Another famous dog from not that long ago, Wisp. Bobby D. said the dog changed hands 5 times before he got him with no interest at all. I believe he also said that dog was one that he really enjoyed, once he finally turned on. ( I would think it more common that males turn on latter than females) At least that's my understanding. ...oh hell, hang in there, it's only food, and time and money and agrivation!!!! ------------------ "A good dog may be hard to find, ...but a hard dog usually means it's been dead for a while"

Well, looks like it's getting too damn cold to train dogs outside again, so I guess I'll plop down in front of the computer all winter. I've got one last trail to hit in Hartford, KY next month and then that's all til March! (So what's been going on? did I miss much?) ------------------ "A good dog may be hard to find, ...but a hard dog usually means it's been dead for a while"

...and a good time was had by all, but boy was I pooped the first couple of days after the trial!!!!!! ------------------ "A good dog may be hard to find, ...but a hard dog usually means it's been dead for a while"
