Not me, I get my rocks off chasing ribbons around the south. Its my deal. I started off buying a dog to train to hunt then it took hold of me. I think its funny how people get so butt hurt over someone that enjoys running ribbon dogs. Its the same principal as going fishing in a little alum boat with academy rods and reels vs. a 60K bay boat with waterloo's and shimano tackle. Its all about what makes you happy at the end of the day with both being sufficient to get fish in the boat. Some people are happy getting their at 20 MPH and some need to go 60 MPH. Some people are happy chunking rocks and others want to have a dog handle at 300 + yrds. I choose to spend way to much time and money running dogs but its my gig.

Ding ding we have a winner. I just wish I had more time to chase the ribbons, unfortunately it's an all or nothing sport if you want to be competitive, in field trials that is. I'll take my remote control dog any day over a 20 lb sack of rocks and a hurt shoulder. Whistles tend to weigh much less.
