Thank you for your support on this forum.  We are hoping that the Facebook Page will be used a little bit more.

Sorry to see the site fade away.  It was very useful in its time and I don't think we've had a similar forum (e.g., facebook) replace it.  Where are the conversations now? 

As far as I know there are no conversations specific to Tollers and field going on.

[NO]

I have deleted subscriptions that have never signed in for over one year and members who made NO comments and haven't signed in for over one year.

Although it appears that there is traffic on the site by looking at 'Users Online' at the bottom of the Index page, the vast majority of guests are spammers and trolls.  The site is being bombarded by these mischief makers 300 to 500 times every 24 hours.

I am sad to say that we have many registered members that have never or have not visited the forum for over a year   This notice is to give warning that any registered members that have not logged on since April 1, 2011 will be removed on March 31, 2012.

It appears that training discussions have all but ceased so I'm wondering if this forum has outlived its usefulness and interest???  There is a cost to maintaining this site.  Perhaps social media and a Facebook page would better serve you all.  What do you think?

I thought some might like to see the line-up so far for the veteran test dogs at this year’s BYC.  A lot of double digit ages in there.  Where the veteran is over qualified for the test, we will have an "official" test dog to run that stake.

I personally cannot wait to see some of these dogs run.

Thanks Kathy!  You've answered all the questions I've ever asked on here!  both of them!

Seems like this will make the double somewhat more predictable since by definition won't the first bird always be this "surprise" 35 - 45 yard ?  Though I supposed it could be the flyer, it could be land it could be on water...

OK, so I read the rules. In theory, it could be a seperate test. But around here, I don't think that would happen because our numbers are quite large.

The intent is to make it a 'surprise' bird. No calls etc. It would not be a separate test like HRC.

I haven't studied the rules, but I believe its part of the double and yes, there has to be a walk up in senior.

We had one in master this year (no calls, etc).  It was short, as its intended to be, and then two longer marks.
