    Non toxic shot restrictions

    Pardon my ignorance but reading the rules for wia and crep public areas I don’t understand rules on lead or steel use. Are all areas are non toxic shot only? Any help would be appreciated

    Bad Timing for My Dog to come up lame

    Sorry to hear that,don't think we realize the abuse our dogs put on their bodies. I gave my first dog a dog version of Glucosime Condritone,when she got about 7 years old,bought at petsmart and it really seemed to help. Take good care of her and glad to hear x-rays showed no damage.

    Bird sightings

    In the qualifing round I was braced against Tom Rotundo's Chase. Good luck on getting a pointer out of those lines,should be a great combo of lines. Tough foot has worked wonders on her pads.

    Bird sightings

    It was warm and sunny both days reaching 82 degrees each day,most dogs handled the heat very well.I took 1st in the qualifing round,then screwed up royaly on a marked bird in the final six and finished third,missing the final round by 8 points.Probably for the best because when I brought her...
