Would you think that you couldn't run pattern blinds without force? My thoughts are if its running blinds, well willing to go on a blind, he should be able to get it out to single T, then double T and pattern blinds...swim by would be icing on the cake! I guess hard to tell without seeing the pup. A lot of people think more of a dog then what is actually there sometimes IMO.
