Seem to be a little more than you and now my dog is stupid cause I know you aint calling me stupid

Ok either you are in or out. You can send me a pm on what time to meet

There's already a competition to test retriever's skill sets, it's called Field Trials. They're sanctioned by the American Kennel Club and you get fancy blue ribbons when you win one. If you wanna test your dog against a standard to see if it can hang, they have Hunt Tests. You either pass or fail by meeting a certain criteria. They give fancy orange ribbons if you pass. Go sign your dog up if you think he's got what it takes to be a "Ribbon Dog".

I got a contest

Bring em to I 10 park in jennings, full of live ducks!!

1st dog to catch a live duck wins!!

Done told you I don't run them test pure and simple. They don't allow rock dogs cause they will bust picking up more than one bird

True, and that is an admirable trait at times but the reason they drop you for a "switch" is because you (or they) don't want a dog to drop that double-banded crippled greenhead "switching" to pick up that spoonbill. Just a hunting scenario they try to create to test control.

I don't think hunt tests allow rock dogs because of the lack of the handling skills during the tests. They'd never finish. I doubt your dog would bust because of picking up more than one bird.

He doesn't drop.

Not sure what to think about this.

Not a switch if he doesn't drop the first bird.

Ok, they don't want the dog to drop the neck-banded greater canadian. Maybe he can pick up multiples of those I don't know.

Wait a dog gone minute. Are we talking about that dog in your avatar? Everybody knows yella dogs cant hunt! Hahahahahhahh:*****:

[quote=Nickt87;650641]That's a white lab!!!! May even have a touch of silver

nope he cant do 2geese but has tried a times. He can handle 2 full grown mallards. He has brought back 3 grays at one time and has brought back 5 teal at a time

Snap a pic of that. A limit of teal in a dogs mouth would be funny to see.

Here he is with 2 greenheads and 2 members from the site where on this hunt

Ribbon Dog vrs Rock Dogs
 

I can back D's dog on picking up multiple birds. He's a hoss at that. Use to have a pic on my old phone when a buddy sent it with him Havin two big greenheads. Either oustalet or Waltrip sent it

If a dog doesn't have the instinct to go for a cripple over dead birds then retire him.

That's not training, that's basic instict.

This would be the most entertaining option....u should see my dog chase chickens!

D dog will pick up 4 teal, seen it pick up 3 one trip and 2 mallards next trip

5 birds picked up two trips
