Sorry guys been pretty busy. Yes this is a Midwest AKC SPO trial. We will have a puppy derby Friday and The judges are correct. We do have an early deadline so we can take advantage of as much early morning running as possible. Schumaker Farms address is 52441 County Road 16 West Lafayette Ohio. Loo...

Hilly terrain, some flat landers may call mountains. LOL!!! Connie is right we have lots of multiflora rose thickets that hold lots of rabbits. Coshocton County is home to some of the best cottontail running in the country and thats why so many big hunts are held here. Running has been awesome as te...

Congrats, I'm sure he is a powerful little hound.

So Vicky, what do you do as a judge at the end of a dead track? Do you handle dogs or let them hunt? Every cast has a deadline to return the scorecard and each cast has to hunt the alloted time. If a hound is unable to be handled are you saying as a cast you have to wait without calling timeout even...

Brad, rule 7 covers timeouts that points are to be circled. In this case points were minused (due to loss of track). Once the track was dead, judge is to call dead track and instruct handlers to handle dogs. Once it is determined that the hunt is being delayed (dog not handling) then judge is to adv...

Original post states "track was declared a loss" I assume 3 minutes got them and YES the hounds have to be caught. Once it was determined that a hound was unable to be handled a time out should have been called and handlers given 30 minutes to return to the cast. This would be in accordance with the...

You have 30 minutes once a time out is called. Time out must be called prior to having 30 minutes to handle. In your situation once you noticed a handler nor dog would not cross a crossable creek, you should call timeout and start the 30 minutes. You will be surprised how fast dogs are handled. As f...

Dave, you are insinuating that I was joking. If you remember I followed that statement that I felt he was worth every dime and still wish I had not sold him. Please do not insinuate that I was making fun of Tim or Butkus. If there is a fool to be made here it would be on me for putting a price on su...

MAINE!!!!! We drive 17 1/2 hrs every year. ITS WORTH IT. Best running year in and year out.

Littlewoody, sorry if we failed to get back to you in a timely manner. I try but I am human and may have missed getting back to you. Sorry. If I can be of help please give me a call but understand you may need to leave a message as I am a little tough to get ahold of. Gauge VIII is out of Rock Run S...

Congrats. Two very nice people.

We had Butkus and I can tell ya he is the real deal. All I can say is dont put a price on something you dont want to sell. Would be honored to have him back in the kennel. He is and should be considered one of the best. He does not throw all little pups. We have several Butkus pups out of several fe...

Yes they did, great times even with steelers fans. LOL!!!

A BIG THANK YOU goes out to all the CCBC members for all there help, Jim and Wendy Schumaker for the fine food and use of thier farm and PKC for thier full support. The PKC staff was to...
