Steve thanks for this post . FYI up here in canada the CKC
Ak's little brother is definitely on the down with dog owners .
For some reason the trial judging is beyond atrocious.
We have 4 ,6 member clubs in the area . The 2 NAVHDA
Chapters over 100 Members . I havenever a big CKC fan
In my 50 yrs of versatile dogs . I doubt there have ever been
more Birddogs in western Canada than today , seems CKC
Related events just aren't user friendly . You don't have to
know much to be a judge ...thanks
