Lablover Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 WMR, Specialised dog accessories. Unfortunately they are away at the moment. Are you in a hurry? Are, you more importantly, thinking about training and trialling in retriever trials??????? Are you buying a gundog?????? So many questions, sorry!!! The most difficult aspect of retriever trialling is finding suitable grounds which require travelling. All the same, very worthwhile, if you have a good prospect and training methods. A little madness helps also. Ummm....maybe a lot, especially in higher stakes. Otherwise order directly from the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheres my rock Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) i wont be handling can you imagine a blind person being allowed to shoot a gun with real bullets umm nah i have someone in mind to do that unless they allow me a shooter Edited July 4, 2007 by wheres my rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lablover Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 WMR, I should imagine very dangerous. Just as silly as me with a loaded gun. How are you going to enter retriever trials in Victoria, without a gun licence. Regardless good luck. Retrieving trials, are the best fun, standing up. Frankly though training is more fun I reckon.

wheres my rock Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 it states in the rules that if you cannot get a license due to a disability you can have a shooter so i will be pushing that last time i was told to just lie on the form for a gun license which i refused to do and so never pursued retrieving after that but oterwise i'll just go interstate however i dont think it will be an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lablover Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 it states in the rules that if you cannot get a license due to a disability you can have a shooter so i will be pushing thatlast time i was told to just lie on the form for a gun license which i refused to do and so never pursued retrieving after that but oterwise i'll just go interstate however i dont think it will be an issue I have shot for people without a gun licence. As long as the dog is lined up correctly, I see no problem. I do not know your sight limitations (rough ground - mine you, I fell down a hole last Sunday on a walk up - dog number one, and I have normal AGED sight!!), delivery), and look forward to meeting you one day. Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheres my rock Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 yup i have enough trouble dealing with terrain but i would think hat someone would warn me if there was anything to sinister ahead I cant see much in front of me which means my dog has to be strong and not need extra commands once he/she has left my side as i cannot give them if i cant see what is ahppening so we have to do a lot of ground work dunno about past novice yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
