Is there another draw for choice #2 or not? Gregory county i cant find anything helpful on the website explaining this.

UNSUCCESSFUL :mad:

It says "Draw has not been run", but does not give a date as to when the draw is.

No, I applied for a license online on July 17th, as I believe that was the final day to apply. I put in for 1st and 2nd choice of course. And a $10 preference point. I thought they then had a draw in early August, seems like in years past I'd get an email saying they had the draw, and it...

Does anyone know when the 1st draw is for 2nd season west river deer? I'd like a heads up, so I can make sure I put $$$$$ in before they draw if needed. I see nothing on the website of when they hold these draws.

He will sit and Hold whatever I give him until I tell him "Give". Whether on/off the table. But, when returning from a retrieve, and he heels to my side and sits, that is when he mouths the bumper/drops it. It is hard to understand things being said as it's easy to take things a...

I completely understand what your saying Gatsby, and I'm working on doing exactly what you are saying. I'm making him sit and hold after the retrieve, after dropping saying no, and making him hold it in his mouth. I basically just started doing this, as I just stopped force fetch as I...

I had been working on Hold on the table with force fetching, and I could not get him to walk/hold with the training dummy. He has Hold down really well. Regarding your question of what I do when he brings it back to me? I say heel/sit, I say "No, Hold", and he'll still be kind of mouthing...

I'm going to look into Dynamic Retrievers and see what their all about. Tim Springer Thanks

Goldenboy I totally appreciate all your advice, trust me. With a wife and two kids, busy lives, etc. We just can't afford to send him to a professional trainer. Really, he's doing Great other than the mouthing issue/Hold issue. Funny though because it's one of the things that bothers me...

Thanks for the Information guys. Appreciate it. Gatsby, his delivery is really good when were out throwing bumpers/dokken dead fowl trainer in the field and in the yard. He comes back nicely and heels/sits to my side, but mouths the bumper and may drop. He seems very anxious and just rarin'...

:cheers: Yah, I doubt that......... Not any dog can run these hunt tests. There's a fair amount of training involved just to pass started hunt tests. I know you guys know that. But yah, I'll obviously keep training so I can reach the highest standard possible. I hope Mike Lardy's Total...

I don't think it's the HRC's desire to imprint bad habits early, it's all part of the process of young dogs running in Started tests. It gives them a goal of how to reach that next level. Everyone see's them differently. Not everyone's a Pro trainer, and it provides me with the drive to go...

I definately want my pup to deliver to hand while heeled to my side. Which is what he does with bumpers, he just mouths the bumper and may drop it. I'm trying to train that out of him. One thing I don't have to worry about is drive, he has plenty of it. I practice for the hunt tests like I...

He ran his 1st started hunt test at 6 months old, won a ribbon. Delivered bird to area. Second day he delivered bird and decided he wanted to keep it. Wouldn't let go:) We'll continue to work on delivery everyday, and hopefully by spring, and with more club trainin in spring, I'll know more...
