You could well be right! I knew he was crossed with something.

Yes, I'm still going and volunteering/helping out etc. I'm still totally hooked on it can't wait until tomorrow. I hope it's another day like today, cool but sunny, and we have NO SNOW here in Somerset, plenty of mud though.

Not sure what I'm doing at the centre tomorrow, always something new to learn though with Sharon, never a dull moment.

Fantastic thread, thanks for sharing this.

A couple of years ago I was out training one of my dogs when she went awol on a long distance retrieve. I was getting very p-ed off whistling her back when I heard another whistling nearby. I moved over the hill to check it out and saw a man and his young son with a glove. His comment "if you think it's hard getting a dog back, try getting one of these back when he decides to go off road!" has had me intrigued in BOP training ever since!

(I think he got his bird back before I found my dog.)

Today Kane was a pain. Instead of binding to the lure properly he just kept hitting it and then flying over. I ended up having to leave him out while I took the dog home. When I went back without the dog he was ok again. Looks like I will need to do some more work with him with the dog around after he has moulted
