My dog is lazy, to well fed and very slow on the uptake I'm afraid. The days of doing tricks for treats have long gone, he just looks at me with them big brown eyes and I give in. Photo0442.jpg

Sorry clint! My dog was doing good but then I got distracted and failed the test when I wandered away mid test.... The dog is still pissed off and won't speak with me. He feels I artificially injured his average so I'm afraid I'm in the dog house over this one.... ;/ BTW I scored about 20ish give or take. The dog is still working on training me to fetch appropriately on command (again I tend to wander off mid-search, shiny shiny shoes......)
