I just returned from Judging the Boykin Nat. Championship Trial
I have a new found Love for Field Trials
It was unlike any of the All-Age or Shooting dog trials i had ever been to.
The Folks were great and most everyone got along. Everyone was willing to help and i never saw or heard of anyone trying to mess up anothers dog.
I don't know how many folks have ever seen or participated in a field trial.
However; i think that no matter which breed you prefer it is a good way to see how your dog works compared to others.
I am never to old nor to wise to watch other trainers and learn from them.
I saw Pro Handlers and Amatures that really knew how to handle a dog.
