This is a great opportunity, for all those who keep asking internet questions about how to train their retriever, to actually see what these animals are capable of.

Once they do see, they may realize that it is impossible for internet dog guru's to describe what's necessary to train a dog over the internet to anywhere near that level.

For those who are truly interested in training their retirever, you may realize that it's necessary to actually get away from the computer and get out there and meet with the people who do this or even (heaven forbid) attend a training seminar or two.

Or, you could keep getting internet advice from people you've never met whose training credentials you know nothing about, or even if they have ever actually trained a finished retriever.

Having offered to at least 3 people on this forum who were seeking training advice, the information needed to connect with people in their area who actually have a clue what their doing, and to have not one of these "advice seekers" interested enough to get off their a$$ and contact me...........I feel entitled to this little rant for the morning.

if any members are stopping by I'd like to meet you, I'll be at the open in a white coat with a black lab............

Hi Howard, just to be clear, this is in Pitt Medows. It starts around 8:00 and I'll keep an eye out for you.

[Lots'oLabs]

We're leaving sunny California tomorrow morning and headed north (via Cabellas and Neuman and Bennetts :-D) to attend the trial. I'd also be happy to meet anybody from the forum coming out to check it out.

For those of you I already know........see you there!

Sooooooooooooo........................

How did it go kids??? :-D

[Jimsue]

Well a roller coaster as usual, got the land marks fine on Saturday but picked her up on the land blind as did half the field, traffic noise and wind I think was the cause. Sunday's marks were great and a one whistle 300yrd land blind that had a poision bird thrown in for more fun. And then the water blind........... thats were Sunday ended, I had a hard time getting her in then lost her behind a point, handler error.
Debbie was there and Howard came out to watch, all in all a fun weekend. Back to Fall City Wa. next weekend, cheep beer, live flyers and a way bigger field of players. Wish us luck!

Those guys are lucky me and Digger weren't there. :)

Bruce and Rudy have been running very well in the states too. That's a good dog for sure.................even if it's not a Troller :shock:

[Lots'oLabs]

Yes, Bruce and Rudy are looking pretty darn fine. Trained with them down south. Nice dog.
Ian was one of the judges. Said he looked pretty good.

Where have you been Lab Guy?
Time for you to come out and play and kick some Alberta butt!
