My journey with Skien and now with Eve got me thinking about the differences between dogs bred for a particular activity, be it hunting, schutzhund, or just a family pet. I made a couple of videos that shows the difference between Skien and Eve. Could Skien have gotten a scht title, yeah if i had just the right field with the right decoy and the sun wasn't too bright and the humidity wasn't too high etc.... Now keep in mind hes not going for a title now and is great for what he is ;D Eve on the other had shows just how easy it is with a dog that has been designed for the sport. This is just a thought provoking exercise. Jesse Eve vid 1 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOVs3SvCbksEve vid 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyrq5ojcoHcSkien vid 1 www.youtube.com/watch?v=x55qYwTQh_8

Jesse
Looks like you may have mislabeled the vids. Where did that black dale come from? Also, could it be that the training was different w/ea dog? Looks like your presentation w/Eve has improved her performance.

Mark, Sorry about the mis-labeling. The black is out of Southerns lines, good dog and i didnt do him justice. And i hope to eventually have a line of blacks that are as good as what Eve promises to be. Theres just something erie about a solid black dog that the blk and tans just dont have. Your rite there was a vast difference in the way they were trained. Though it was doing it wrong with skien that i learned it was wrong. I did obedience way too soon with skien and i believe it made him correction shy. Maybe in the end it would not have mattered but Skien and Eve were exactly the same up to the point i started OB. On the other hand i just started OB with Eve last month. Another thing on why Eve got better in the latter vids i switched to a harness instead of a collar. As soon as she stopped self-correcting she made a marked improvement. Me moving didnt hurt either. Watching ons self, sure is an eye opener.
