It is a fair bet that a finished dog is crate trained. That goes a long ways towards potty training and being house broke. As for a 4 hour trip go there for a weekend and then go back for another weekend. That gas and lodging will be a small sacrifice for reward. Hell it may save you from...

SPEND TIME AT THE KENNEL WITH THE DOG AND ITS TRAINER.

That's 1 reason I love my Weims.

And warmer then average Temps and wind making it drier everyday.

It is drier in many areas then the map shows.

That sounds like a tough go of it. The invitational is so different from the other navhda tests. You are to be commended for training a dog to that level ! Hope you were still able to enjoy the event and camaraderie.

How did the invitational go? I saw quite a few PP.s and Wirehairs. Was there even 1 Weim?

Damn fine gun wish I could find a 12 to go with my son's 20.

50% of the time I am wearing Frogg Togg hip boots. I am fortunate that almost nothing bothers my feet. I can and do wear them all day.

2 20 ears is that like 4 Score?

Only fair to spot those labs a head start.

One nice thing about content in this thread is no one has posted.....my 100lb lab is all muscle and I feed....😉

Some dogs do better on 1 food then the others . I met a pro retriever trainer who was getting paid by a dog food company to run a 6 month trial of their hi pro food. He told me all the dogs but 2 had loose stools if worked hard. The other 2 were in the best shape he had ever seen them. 1 of the...

Now in the off season my dogs don't "need" 30-20 but they do well on it and it is cost effective with smaller portions.

Well I had to research Brokeback Mountain as I had no clue as to the reference. I guess we know what kind of movies you like. That's fine just keep that lifestyle in Minnesota , we don't need it a 1000 miles from nowhere.

Were you "literally" butthurt?😉
