If you want to speed this line of dogs up, then that's what you need to find. Pure speed- period. your bitch will throw the line control. You'll have to start the whole litter cause not all of the pups will have the increased speed, maybe a couple. keep the best, sell or cull the rest. good luck!

Get ahold of Jeremy Mapes on here or call 260-242-2290. he has an add in the other breed section. I have been training and hunting Labs for awhile and the year old female I got off him is awesome! She has great hunting instinct, retrieves anything I shoot down, and will also tree squirrels. He's a g...

Pups never out performed their parents. I'm not sure I buy that. I can think of several dogs that run better then their parents. Some dogs are better producers than runners. It's a crap shoot. Similarly, all FCs do not produce FCs. Just my 2 cents. If the top 2 pups don't out perform their parents ...

Lets make history!!

Out of all the conversations on the board, Frank gives me heck for calling him an A@#$&^e..... Like that's the first time!!!

When a guy says to me Rules are Rules, that's like looking at aunt betty's boobs and saying tits are tits. Just because there right there in front of ya doesn't make it right!! LOL. I'm not trying to start trouble, bash little pack, or cause an up roar. I loved little pack, just don't and never had...

What format do you run just curious? Been away from competition for awhile now. I coach wrestling, and football so it hasn't left me a lot time to compete. I ran/judged some Midwest in the 90's and early 2000's then went to running/judging little pack. I love little pack, just think a cpl of the ru...

WHAT IF: the original members( We'll call them A B C D & E) sat down to write the rule book for little pack. they say "OK, basic scoring is a strike, jump, and checks. We'll get to the minus's later. (A)" says lets start with the strike. (B) says first dog to bark on track gets a strike. (C) says wa...

Thanks for clearing this up for me, ill be sure to come to you next time I make a judging mistake

That's very true brad but the way anyone learns is by running something they like and paying attention . Just like any of the big shots you got to start somewhere . Them guys didn't fall out of the sky they learned by running lines they liked and trial and era . No one is perfect and success is in ...

LOL

How's your starting pen Ron? I got a couple of young dogs that are ready to go.

its doing good Ken, come see me when the snows gone-gone

The last time I judged(which was the first time I ever missed deadline) dog A opened on a track twice and dog B piped off three barks(and then some) running to dog A. I ignored dog B and put dog A on the clock when he gave his third bark ON THE track. I truly felt that dog A had a good rabbit and di...

As we talk about him on this board I feel like I should be standing on a wooden platform placing coins over his eyes, kissing his forehead and setting his body to fire. HAHA. As I threaten myself to start trialing again I cant help but to reminisce about the past. I've had more fun, fights and fat c...
