Awesome! I'm all about getting the youngsters involved. I understand going 10 years without one. Shaq is by far a great dog but I couldn't imajine goining to the blind without him. He's been such a pleasure training him. If you need any pointers Raymond has been a great help to me and Shaq.

Hrc

Don't know. I had a bad experience as a 17 year old. Running for my HRCH title and was failed for a recast. Both judges said I recast my dog but they both had controlled break written on their sheets. She smashed both test but they said it wasn't good enough. I ran one more test, titled up and never ran another hrc test. I moved on to field trials where I thought the judging would be more consistent. I'm just glutton for punishment.

Yes, I would agree with your statement.

Don't know if the dog would agree with that statement.

Raymond, you must have been taking care of the force fetching!

Nope, I did that myself. I'm sure deep down he appreciates you, just way way down.
