Let me tiell you about my first trial. Fresh out of highschool had a pair of gyps I was real proud of. Not knowing any better I took a gundog to a walkie-talkie trial. As luck would have it I drew out in the first pack of the day. They had us keep the dogs on a leash, the gallery jumped the rabbit, and they had us drop the dogs on the line. My dog was put down third dog back. Those dogs started barking but not moving. Dolly and I both wondered "what the heck" she cocked her head to both sides, jumped clean over the first two dogs and the race was on. Judges, gallery and all spectatoers gasped. The judges started hollering pick up that dog boy, get that dog. I ran through the woods, she finally had a check and I caught her. An old man ran up to the judge and said why did you pick that boys dog up? She was fast but she was on the line. He said Mr., we don't want to have to run to judge a pack of hounds. My buddy blurted out, " you better be glad he brought his slow one, You'd have to be on a motorcycle to judge his other one". We did'nt get invited back!!
