Re: New judges in Mid-West

Personally good times i had were spent drinking beer at the truck and getting autographs from the legends! Judges were trusted and ruff dogs came up at some point in the day most of the time.

Re: Scoring a LP Dog in a Brush Pile

Well Casey i am guilty of that. I will march dogs right to them . Makes it a heck of alot easier to judge and a field trial aint no place to bring one. I never would sic them on a track merley walk them over it. Right or Wrong? You tell me.

Re: Scoring a LP Dog in a Brush Pile

Same thing happened to me years ago, my dog goes into a brush pile and strikes out comes a rabbit the size of a pocket knife. He cant run it minus 10. Sucks but happens.

Re: Jessamine Kentucky trial entries ?

After reading dont think there is any reason to be upset or quitting. We all work like slaves and finding time to run dogs correctly is just another job...... A job that i enjoy twice as much just cant cash it in. Akc Midwest fed is still in my eyes the big brother the one advantage is friends ya ma...

Re: Jessamine Kentucky trial entries ?

As Ron States, everyone is a critical judge. Unless they win. Judging is as hard as any thing i ever done. I think numbers are down because times are pretty hard all over. I also think too many show up with little to no dog power, wont hunt wont handle and in half azz shape. Then get mad when dog ge...
