Hey, I just took the Bad Rad out on a 2 hour trail ride; one of our last, considering the COLD weather (below freezing while we were out there; down to 7...
Guess what stood up? TWO, count them, TWO BULL MOOSE. Well, that stopped Rad in his tracks! WOW! I wouldn't have thought that Bull moose would be together...

Hey guys, I have several questions that I would like to discuss. I know they were probably covered on the roaddogsrule list, but since there are no longer any...
The second question is: How would a signal be treated...as an additional command, or would it be an NQ. The rules and regulations state: "SECTION 3. Hands. ...
Is it possible to trial an RD dog and and RDX dog at the same time? If so, how would the judging of the hocking exercise be done and how would the RDX dog NOT...
Ooops, I wrote question 4 in the last subject and skipped 3. But now I can't remember what my other question was. Wait!!! I remember. Is this legal. ...
If the dog is going to stay on the first command, why would it matter? BUT if this happened while I was judging, as long as the rider said, "no, not yet" when...
Julie, I don't know that the judges guidelines set a specific number of commands as excessive. Personally, as a judge, I feel that if you need to tell/ask the...
What I did at the last trial was, when asked if I was ready (or maybe even before that) I told the judge NO, that I needed to get Zorro (my horse) settled in...
Being a new judge, I had to think about this longer than Mary-Lynn but here is my opinion. If the dog was CLEARLY not cooperating (i.e. running off after...
First note: the judge always gets to decide. So if you are curious to see how many commands they think might be "excessive", then ask the judge this question...
Hi ya'll! My next Spotter column is due soon, and I would like to write about "real-life" Road Trial training and experiences. In other words, I'd like to...
Hi all I mistakenly relied to Lynnda - thinking it was the list so am copying that post here: Thank you everyone for your congratulations :-))) I'm still...
I'd just give the come command after the exercise started very quietly and then very quickly give the sit/stay command. JMHO. As a judge, I'm judging the...
... Yes, this could be a problem! I'd go with your first idea of calling the dog and moving the horse before you say you are ready. Here's how I "see" it...
If I was judging, since I saw you move away from your dog, I would not tell you to call your dog. If the dog is wandering around, then I would tell you to...
OK. Here's one to think about: In a Road Trial, how would you judge the following: It is the sit or down exercise. The judge has given the usual "are you ...
According to Chapter 8 Section 10: SECTION 10. Long Sit or Down Exercise for the CC, RD, or RDX. The principal feature of this exercise shall be to demonstrate...
RE: How do you score a dog that lies down when the handler says "sit". I agree with those that point out the Regs ask for a sit OR a DOWN, and the dog did...
Interesting comment Debbie! (and very true). I always tell my agility students that it doesn't matter *what* they call an obstacle as long as they're...
Just curious...how many of the members on this list do tracking? I really want to start Robbie and Simi on tracking. I just haven't gotten around to doing it...
