Ingredients: (serves 2-3 people) * 2 – 3 pheasant breasts (cubed) ...

Re: Roading a Dog with a Pedal Bike

I have a Springer and don't mind it. A couple of things to point out though... It doesn't fit all bikes. I had to modify it slightly to allow enough clearance for the pedals to get past the down tube the spring mounts to. The included lead isn't really long enough. I had to fashion another lead with...

It IS NOT an instant cure all to the problem. It is an excellent tool to help with gradual ex...

Re: If you could ask an AKC hunt test judge anything...

Questions on what can i do to help my dog receive a passing score are appropriate, It is the responsibility of the club to provide qualified judges,It is not for your responsibility to interview them on their past experience.

After that competing with your dog is the time honored tradition in gaining more knowledge and experience. I know a lot of you a...
