    margret you have to take the rough with the smooth at these shows some people like to rant and rave ie thats a greyhound raceing that dogs not worked and so on and from time to time the judge is gonna get a bit of stick thats the way it is in every sport and a good judge just laughs it of because deep down he knows that most of them would never put themselfs forword to run a show or judge a show for fear of being on the receiving end keep or chin up ill see you both on sunday all the best robert

    what i do with my gundogs mate is teach them the hold command. Sit them down and place the ball/dummy in their mouth and repeat hold hold...... etc... and then a release command - i always use 'leave that' but whatever works for you. after a few times and you can see the dog is understanding the command you can just say hold once and then wait 30 seconds and then the release command. when you are sure she knows the hold command say hold as she is coming into you with the retrieve, you should find she will hold it out of habit and you'll have the perfect retrieve, if she drops it place it in
