| THE FARMER/LARDY SYMPOSIUM |
|
Pat Burns (Elite Retriever Training) had a vision for a revolutionary approach to a retriever training event
that would bring together the most elite retriever sport experts showcasing their techniques and knowledge to a group of dedicated, progressive handlers and their canine athletes.
This vision became reality at
a symposium held in the foothills of the East Tennessee mountains, on the Chad and Paige Baker estate.
The most influential powerhouses in the sport,
Danny Farmer and
Mike Lardy provided four comprehensive, focused days that explored every training technique available.
This
11-hour 4 DVD set
will make you feel you were
there.
A must have for every working retriever enthusiast's library.

Feeding Puppies
If you're thinking about having a litter, it's important to think through how you're going to keep both the dam and the pups healthy.
Purina has some good advice, regardless of the brand you decide to feed. You can read about nutrition here. There's also a good article on breeding you can read here.
Panosteitis
Panosteitis affects large breed dogs "typically between 5 and 12 months of age." Clinical signs include lameness, usually in the ulna.
The article includes some cool xrays of this condition that typically resolves on its own. You can read more here. (Note: site requires free account creation.)
Labrador Retriever Subfertility Clinical Trial
UC Davis is conducting a trial to identify fertility parameters in canine semen. They are interested in obtaining samples from dogs over two years old that have been bred to more than one bitch without resulting in pregnancy or litters of fewer than three puppies.
If you are interested in participating you can contact Dr. Bruce Christenson at 530-752-0440.
Managing Cognitive Decline in Senior Dogs
The AKC website has a good article on ways to hold off symptoms of cognitive decline: exercise, nutrition and behavioral enrichment.

Sit Means Sit
We have all heard about the importance of "Sit." But perhaps we can learn a bit more about sit by looking at the obedience world.
According to the "Wonder Pups" blog:
There are two main strategies a dog will use to move from standing to sitting. The dog can either leave the front paws in place and move the rear end up to meet them, or she can leave her rear paws in place and move her front end back to meet them.
So your dog comes to heel with their shoulder lined up at your knee. With a rock back sit, they will end up behind you. With a tucked sit, their shoulder will remain aligned with your knee.
If you're interested in ensuring your dog has a tucked sit, you can read more here.

| SHOOTING |
|
|
Shooting Slumps
And don't agonize. The more you do, the more prolonged your slump is likely to be. In fact, that might have brought it on. Failure often comes from trying too hard. Bird shooting, like a lot of other games, is easy unless you make it hard. Trying to outshoot the other fellow is one of the surest ways of inviting trouble.
Such competitive shooting is bad business all the way round. To make a gallant gamebird merely a target for marksmanship is hardly a gentleman's pastime. And it will adversely affect your shooting, making you tense and overanxious.
Trying to outshoot the other fellow makes it too important. When you get into a slump, go out by yourself with one sure dog and content yourself with one shot on a rise. Take it unimportantly and leisurely. Say to yourself: "What if I do miss a few birds. There will be other days. Don't need so many anyway."
If your bad streak is an especially stubborn one, quit hunting for a few days; immerse yourself in something else, something different. It is a prime time to overhaul your boat, catch up with your correspondence, or get back into the good graces of your wife by doing the thousand-and-one things about the house that you, being a promising kind of fellow, have intended doing ever so long. Sometimes the best way to find something you've lost is to quit looking for it. Ever notice how often it will turn up?
Another thing is certain, too: A slump period is the worst time in the world to do any experimenting. If you must experiment, experiment inexpensively. It is the best time known, for instance,
not to trade guns, or to make any major adjustments. Because as sure as fate and taxes, you'll rue them later.
I know a slumper who persuaded himself that his vision was defective and who enriched his oculist without benefit to himself. Another who spent half the night manicuring the stock of his gun. When he got his shooting pants back on, the gun didn't fit. Still another who decided that his gun barrels were too long and had a gunsmith amputate them, to his everlasting regret. And a melancholy fellow who, always thorough in what he did, turned against his gun and swapped it for a new one. Two weeks later he was walking his pants off trying to find the man who had his old gun, and he had to pay a premium when he found it. Moral: The gun wasn't in a slump!
When you're in a slump, your judgment just ain't worth a durn. Gun fit is of prime importance, of course, but trading off an old companion with which you have always shot well, or making any major adjustments on it, is not only ingratitude but costly folly. If you feel your gun is suspect, don't buy another one.
Borrow one and try it first. It may be you and not the gun. If you've simply got to make adjustments, make minor ones.
If you want to switch to another shell, fine. If you think you can shoot better with another, you probably can. But be sure you don't do anything you can't undo later.
Nothing is so easy as bird shooting to a man who can shoot birds. Nothing is so hard to a man who can't. If you happen to be one of the latter, don't let it get you down. It may be a compliment to your intelligence!
I have derived a deal of comfort from an observation I once heard an old sportsman make:
"A smart man is not apt to be a good shot," he said. "He's got too much imagination. Thinks too much. He misses because he is afraid he is going to miss. Takes a man who hasn't got much on his mind to shoot well. No, sir, a smart man ain't apt to be a good bird shot. Never saw one yet that was."
"Well," I said, "that's the most encouraging thing I ever heard."
And about that time my wife, who is a realistic sort of woman, drifted by and said sweetly: "What makes you think that applies to you,
darling?"
