Or can you "make" a ribbon dog pick up 5 at a time. 2 banded possibly for shats n giggles.

Which occurs when the dog is put down wind of a specific area where the bird fell and is told to hunt it up. This is done as a last resort if the bird went down in a very thick area that obstructed the acutal view of fall or the bird was crippled and the exact location of the bird is unknown. Usually doesn't get much bigger than 100'x100' area. You my friend have a dog that "hunts em up" over a 1/4 square mile.

It was posted before that a blind from a reputable dog training standpoint was to send em on blind and try to have the least amount of cast nescecarry.

If deadly Ds dog can be sent on on one cast which the only cast he needs to get a honorable retrieve. That's probably gonna be the least out of the two dogs

Raymond is a very credible dog trainer I'm not trying to take anything from him but he learns from expierience.

Deadly D seems pretty darn expierienced as well.

I can assure you if you run them on a real blind (field trial) type. The rock dog, no matter how great he may be doesn't stand a chance.

But the field trial dog will prolly not bring back 4 ducks at a time. So each dog will do well in its normal discipline.

Just sayin. Not knocking either. I would gladly hunt either.

Let's try this for the 8th time. If the dog is sent out and runs all over god's creation, checkin every corner of the marsh until it SOB's (stumbles on bird), it's not a Blind. If the dog miraculously lines up perfectly in the direction the handler wants it to go, then punches out 400 yds in a straight line to the bird, fighting factors without any casts, then he's wasting a lot of god given talent by just hunting him and needs to enter him in an All-Age stake immediately.

Is it common for dogs to be able to run 400yard blinds through sea cane and cat tails, with no hand signals or direction from the owners where you are from? Or do you realize you're dog may be a freak of nature?

I can understand a little frustration with that from some people. I used to have dogs that I had to throw rocks for. My pup now just turned a year nov.13, she is not trianed by raymond. But she will not be a "rock dog" either.
