Sounds like a hoot dale. I'm done playing dog games for the year though. It's been non stop for me since last Feb either running my dogs or training other's. I'm way behind in getting ready for hunting season. I just missed opening day for canada's here in Quebec to run my dog in Nova Scotia over the weekend. I'm going to be swamped over the next couple of weeks getting my tree stands installed, duck boat ready. Then everything starts up here. I have people coming in from overseas in 4 weeks and I need to have everything ready for them. I'll be out in MB at the end of October hunting. I assume it will be done by then though.

I stopped playing NSTRA because of the habits of other dogs. If the dog doesn't back, it should be able to win, imo. At the same time, it's nice because it gives a venue anybody can play in.
