Q Set up
 

This is a set up that we have done before but not with this bunch of dogs. 4 marks in all but you can only see the 3 facing west. Running off a mound into running water the gun stations disappear due to the whips and a north-south swimming water channel is encountered prior to beaching on the far side. Left station is approx 200 yds, middle station is approx 240 yds and right is approx 110 yds. Birds are thrown L (R-L) M (R-L) and R (L-R) and run as singles first with all dogs. Multiples were run, Middle (memory) and Left (go). Shawn did the Middle and Far left mark not seen as a multiple and did a nice job. Short mark added plenty of suction for the middle mark when the dogs beached. This set up would be a 6 on the difficulty scale, IMO.

Do you drive a white F-150? Live in Chosen Valley?

yes

I heard the only dog not on Marshall Stones truck that could do it was awesome.

Hunted several times with a dog named Cane you trained Raymond, must say you did a great job with him.

Nice athlete, great owner who sees the value in learning how to make the most of what he paid for by being a student of the game.

Agree 100%

I live right there on Ham Reid, group of town homes. Red F-150. I run my dog every no and then in that pond.

Maybe we should have worked on honoring instead of some meaty marks lol

It's not my dog, you run him anyway ya want but ya may be right.;)

I've seen Cane run and he was a hell of a dog on Raymond's truck. I sure he has done nothing but improve.

I'm thinking my hunt test career is over snd my derby career has begun...Ha

When in doubt, shock em! Right?

If your running my dog yes

Trip in action

At least you left the attempt to honor out, that blind looked uglier than I remember

2nd to last dog=a lot of drag back scent. Also the wind picked up making it crosswind. Don't give up on him just yet, he's a very young dog and breeze's through the work. A little honoring work and you got a Senior test any day of the week.

But I would like to see Trip stretch his legs at a derby. Ima try to make the D/Q in port Arthur May 11th since I didn't see the Q last time.

It won't be any easier. It will be less stressful on the wekends.

Yep, sometimes like lighting the fuse on $80 worth of firecrackers.:D
