>Thank you for the insight Dave. Like I said before, I >am really excited about that dog. He is in the best >hands possible. Did you look at the pics below of the >sibs? I am trying to get some more pics as well of >other sibs too. That Jazzmen female is now finally >recognized as a Jr Champion in ABNA, all she needs now >is her major as an adult, which she barely missed in >Freeport, and she will be a Champion Adult. training >has begun with her for a bst.

Hopefully down the >line I can put at least brevets on them. > >>Francis and Sam did the Mondio I routine with Gubby, >>then Clutch in rapid succession. Clutch has less >>control than Gubby because he has less training, >>perhaps for this reason he comes in faster for the >>bite and hits slightly harder. Clutch would do well in >>a hardest hitting competition, he really bangs. >>Gubby's guard of object is a lot more polished than >>Clutch's. In fact some experienced Ring people were >>saying that Gubby's guard of object is better than >>some of the best Ring dogs in the country. Still, >>Clutch did well in this exercise. >> >>Gubby is fast in all the routines. He bites hard and >>is a very physical dog. In the retrieve he picked up a >>rubber lobster toy, very swift and sure. He clamped >>down on it and let up a few times, not so much chewing >>as bearing down. I assume a Ring judge would take >>points off for anything other than a calm grip >>however. Gubby doesn't clamp down like that unless the >>object is soft. Clutch retrieved a weird pom-pom thing >>with streamers. He tore chunks of it off as he picked >>it up. They had him retrieve something more solid and >>he was fine. I can see that Bulldogs may have problems >>with fragile retrieve objects. >> >>Going over the pallisade saw Clutch trying to smash >>through it. I have had this problem with the hurtle. >>The Bulldogs like to smash through jumps. Fran is >>right about special training techniques for Mondio >>Bulldogs.
