Doc.....I have been holding onto my check as well. It went out in the mail today......

Deerhunter.....adding to Doc's statement, you can not give a dog a title that retrieves rubber ducks! To many times, I have seen show type labs that are great DFT retrievers run up to a duck in a test ...smell it...and want nothing to do with it.

The premise of NAHRA is to simulate hunting conditions and to test the dogs and handlers in those situations. Retrieving a rubber ducky does not simulate true hunting conditons in my opinion.

Good Training!
