Also gave the lady's name to contact at the university of Minnesota. After we got all that straight he took me and my "robot" dog on a hunt in the marsh without ever even meeting me before or my dog. He never said a word about how my dog was doing until I asked. Of course I did because I wasn't afraid of gaining knowledge to help better my dog and myself. He then offered me to join him with several of the dogs he had on his truck for a day of training. After I did that he offered for my cousin to join with his Newley purchased that he just bought(not from Raymond or any of his contacts). He has always been more than happy to help us and has never asked for a dime. He simply follows a program for gun dogs that works. My dog surely has holes in his training but that's because I did most of myself and he is my first. Sorry for the long rant but it needed to be said.

Don't have one problem with that at all but don't call peoples dogs that he knows nothing about rock dogs

I had a big male chocky back when I was younger and before I ever duck hunted. That dude some drive. He started with tennis balls and then my buddy bought him a trainer duck one day. Coulda kicked my buddies azz for that cause that dog was obsessed with that dang duck. Our old property was bordered by a big hill and I could throw a tennis ball off that hill and through the woods then send Brother. He wouldn't come home without that ball. Sometimes I didn't have time to get a beer and come back but sometimes it was a six pack before he returned. He always found that ball but wouldn't come back until he did.

There's already a competition to test retriever's skill sets, it's called Field Trials. They're sanctioned by the American Kennel Club and you get fancy blue ribbons when you win one. If you wanna test your dog against a standard to see if it can hang, they have Hunt Tests. You either pass or fail by meeting a certain criteria. They give fancy orange ribbons if you pass. Go sign your dog up if you think he's got what it takes to be a "Ribbon Dog".

Done told you I don't run them test pure and simple. They don't allow rock dogs cause they will bust picking up more than one bird

True, and that is an admirable trait at times but the reason they drop you for a "switch" is because you (or they) don't want a dog to drop that double-banded crippled greenhead "switching" to pick up that spoonbill. Just a hunting scenario they try to create to test control.

Ok, they don't want the dog to drop the neck-banded greater canadian. Maybe he can pick up multiples of those I don't know.

I don't think hunt tests allow rock dogs because of the lack of the handling skills during the tests. They'd never finish. I doubt your dog would bust because of picking up more than one bird.

That's a white lab!!!! May even have a touch of silver

[Ducktrickster]

Not a switch if he doesn't drop the first bird.

[huntin fool]

I can back D's dog on picking up multiple birds. He's a hoss at that. Use to have a pic on my old phone when a buddy sent it with him Havin two big greenheads. Either oustalet or Waltrip sent it

[Goooh]

If a dog doesn't have the instinct to go for a cripple over dead birds then retire him.

That's not training, that's basic instict.
