Re: over training
After his Utility test all training stopped. I never used traps, only the trainer, and never after he was tested, I am only out hunting now, and yes they were used incorrectly , My BIGGEST mistake was not stopping what was happening and take him somewhere else sooner. When that was done all of the m...

Re: blood in urine
The ultrasound showed a fluid area in the prostate, more then likely an abscess/cyst, and with the other dogs not having a tumor it would likely be an infection, I just did not want him on and off antibiotics for this the rest of his life and neutering him would stop it by 99.99% .
