Hell. He can probably blow a call better than DUB.. He got it down to a science..

Good stuff lol I haven't read this much since high school.

I forgot about this...

everybody getting there rock dogs in shape? how did the rock dogs do this teal season?

Welp.. here we go

My retriever did horrible. Showed up late and hung over, played on his phone in the blind, complained when I sent him on a retrieve, and drank all my damn beer on the way back home......... I need a freaking dog!

We in the same boat my man! Mine even missed a couple of ridiculously easy shots.....

29 Pages!!! CLASSIC!

Man... Its hard to find good help these days!!

Dog did great until I through out my rotator cuff on a triple. Can't throw rocks no more, dog just sits there lookin' at me.

My rock dog Is doing pretty well... Good thing too because I bring folks like cgoods that only own knee boots and don't retrieve ****..... Lol

Ahhh the knee boot guy; the one who conveniently never brings chest waders.

But truth be told I have been known to slip on the knee boots if my buddies are wearing waders.

No doubt I'm guilty of it too when I know I don't have to be the guide for the morning but still gotta give those guys some grief.....

hey, better watch what you say or i wont be slumming it at the beach with you anymore.... which i might have to do this weekend!!!

he did real good his nose was a little rusty

Lol:*****:

Need to get a slingshot.

I'm more impressed by a 600 dollar "rock dog" where the owner has spent his time & effort to get a dog up to a level, which by all accounts is not just a good dog but a helluva dog. Raymond do you have any patents or published any books on this subject, I think not. You are simply piggybackin' off of the latest & greatest tried & true techniques which I agree in this day & age are somewhat scientific, that being said, you come across as one who has to show off a big ship, cause you have a small dinghy

Y'all know how to really piss of your hunting buddy who owns a ribbon dog?

Raymond did the basics on my Dog and you can watch him run in the open at Acadiana on Oct 8.

Best of both worlds. No idea why they came out that way

I'm confused for two reasons...

1. Why would people have some ax to grind against someone that has a ribbon dog?

2. Why would people have some ax to grind against someone that has a "rock" dog?

If both dogs are well behaved in the blind, pick up the birds and bring them back.....who really cares?

I agree with you whole heartedly

73 pages seems like a reasonable place to stop.

How to piss off your hunting buddy who owns a ribbon dog.

This method works particularly well if the dog is having an "off" day and the owner is very upset with ribbon dog.

Step 1-Wait until your buddy has blown his whistle and thrown hand signals for 5 minutes trying to get Ribbon Dog to pick up bird on the edge of the decoys. Best delivered when the owners anger and frustration are optimum.

Step-2 Throw a shotgun shell for the dog to mark the duck.

Step-3 Dog retrieves duck.

Step-4 Tell dog owner, "see that was easy didn't even need hand signals"

Step-5 absorb the full hatred and disgust your hunting partner may unleash upon you.

Step-6 Find a new hunting buddy with ribbon dog and start over at step 1.



There you go, that's how you convert a ribbon dog 1 shotgun shell at a time.

I like that.

I have both a ribbon and "rock" dog. If your dog was capable and you put in the time to train it yourself or put in the time to keep your dog trained up properly after if was sent off for training(this is a step the majority of ribbon dog owners don't do)......What would you rather have?

A dog that marks properly, retrieves to hand, takes hand signals on blinds or a dog you have to throw an object the majority of the time to get it to mark the bird?

Seachaser....The argument comes from the owners of descent rock dogs that have never hunted with descent ribbon dogs.

My point was...both dogs get the job done. But no one can honestly admit they wouldn't rather have a dog that is capable of being handled on blind retrieves.

Rocks are free, good training is 3K+.

Training is free too if you get off your couch and put in the effort.

Exactly!! Rock dog gets the job done. nothing wrong with that as long as the dog is well behaved in the blind.

It doesn't compare to a dog that can take a cast and run blind retrieves though.

I agree, on well behaved. I would have to say that the main requirement (besides actually fetching the duck) for a good hunting dog to me is that it doesn't go until its released and that it comes back when commanded.

Saves me from shooting a dog in the back of the head when it breaks and saves me from being that idiot I hear always screaming at his dog across the whole parish to come back. I have passed on some chances to go on nice hunts because I absolutely can't stand dealing with those dogs and their owners.

Rock Dog
 

Dude, I got a Red Fox/Silver Lab mix that will work circles around your Ribbon Dog.

He retrieves triples in trip, can your Ribbon dog do that?

I need one of dem NOW!

I will pay you a ridiculous premium for either one of those rare colors! No, i don't need to see the pedigree or health clearances.

Does your dog have to have actual ribbons to be included in the ribbon category? My $200 female is a savage, but I never got into the hunt test scene.

I was on a 2 year waiting list; they gave me a discount because I was Pro-Staff. Only paid $2,000 the going rate is $3-4K.

I just got notified i made it on the Game Winner brand pro staff team. Maybe there is hope i can acquire one at the discount!
