Doubt I'll make it out, we'll be training instead for dem ribbons big round as a dinner plate (ya know, the ones you gotta ck in through customs on your way home). Rather train for one of dem than a whole tableful of orange ribbons, but dat's just me (hehe). travis

Are any of you going to the MSHRC test in Collierville next weekend? Just curious...There was a big turnout last weekend in Flora, and I had a chance to vistit with some of the other guys on this site and really enjoyed it. See yall there.

Judge---Old Hatchie hunt is weekend of May 18/19 out from Corinth at Deer Run. Six flights of finished full and seasoned has a waiting list. Gonna be a high old time. Ya outa come join us.

orange ribbon...what place is that? [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]

I believe the orange ribbon is for dogs who pass the junior hunter test. Not much of a challenge...Any hunting retriever worth his salt should be able to do it. That being said...that is what I am running my dog in. Will move up to Senior next fall. I believe Sr. and Master has different color ribbons. I am new to the hunt test game so some of you more experienced guys enlighten us please.

They are all orange dude. travis

They are all orange.
NO HERE---you training in afternoons yet? Still looking for a training partner. We go out most every afternoon depending on weather.

yea, trying to get out pretty regular now...once i get the first part of may out of the way i can get a more consistant schedule.jeff and i were talking the other day about hooking up with you so we can get some "bird" work and some good triples with retired guns.

Chance throwing a retired gun mark? You better get some big ass trees ifn you gonna try to hide him! bwhahahahaha. travis

yea...i can imagine...i still dont have any orange ribbons...all i can muster up are blue ones!

I know man, I know. Told you a long time ago, thats ok. You can quit apoligizing! bwhahahahahaha. travis

No Here, if you are just mustering up blue ribbons you must either be one of the best dog trainers next to Mike Lardy or have some exceptional dogs? I did not think that it was just that simple to get Blue. I will admit that I have never run a field trial, but have been to quite a few. With more than 100 dogs in the open at the Cattle Ranch a few weeks back, it just did not seem that simple to get a 1st. Open, Amateur, Derby, or whatever class you might run, it just doesn't seem that way.

I still don't think a blue ribbon is as hard to muster up as finding a tree chance can retire behind! bwhahahaha. Its still funny second time I said it! travis
