I spent all day at a barnhunt yesterday. Dually had 2 senior runs and Edge had 2 Master run. In Dually's first run he found 2 rats and started to paw at a tube. I was waiting to see more commitment and the judge told me I had to call it or call him off. I was thrown off guard and I called it and it was just a tube. Ok Hmmm on to the next run. 4 rats and we are looking hard. He finds the first 3 and we are searching for the last one and he finally finds it and I call it with 1/10 of a second to spare. 16 dogs in that class and only 3 q'd and none in the first class. I wonder if there was something wrong with the hay.
Edge found 3 rats in his class and I kept looking and we timed out. My Bad. The 2nd class he found 3 rats and I know he had covered the whole area so I said Clear and we were right! Got a leg. Edge is very accurate. I found this weekend that I need to stay back and not point or ask anything. If I ask if it's a rat then they both assume I know what I am talking about and pounce out it. So I am leaving it totally up to them and that worked a lot better. I did not stay for awards and got home at 9 pm anyway.
Not sure when the next trial will be
