Beste Mike (dear Mike),
Bedankt voor het commentaar (thanks for the comment). Leuk om hier ook iemand van Belgie te zien (It pleases me to see somebody from Belgium here, too).

I do not have a web site, because if I had I could post a picture of my dog. Maria, if you go to http://www.photobucket.com and do a simple free registration, you can upload pictures straight from your computer to that website, then you can post the links to the photos here on the forum.

Maria,
I said possible! (And you overestimated the weight a tad bit lol). A 92 pound male that runs 3 miles 3-4 times a week is probably not fat at all. A big boy, sure, but not fat. We can be jealous of each other. I have been to a Flinks seminar, which was very good and very educational. You live in Aruba, where the weather is perfect almost all of the time! I live in Chicago. Your biggest challenge will be to find a helper. If this work really interests you, you may want to invest in a Flinks seminar next year when he comes to Florida or something and fly your dog and whoever you find that's interested in learning helper work to the seminar if you at all can. And to further answer your question about swinging the dog in a circle, I am 6'4" and 300 pounds. I have two GSD's, a 70 pound female and an 85 pound male and I do not swing either of them all the way around. I may pick them up for maybe 45 degrees, but that's it. You have to be very careful and practiced at this if you do it so you do not hurt the dog or yourself.
John

I see no reason to lift the dog in the air. This is done in bite work because the decoy is absorbing the momentum of the dog running in for the bite. This avoids injury to the dog and helper. Even with this, spinning more then a half turn and setting the dog down safely is nothing more then show boating. Bite work is about timming and footwork. Not necessarily power.

This is specifically when I do "lift" the dogs up, when coming in from a long retrieve for a bite. They are already coming in high for the bite, and rather than jam them and stop all of their momentum with my body I catch, sidestep a bit and swing them.

By the way Sandy, I showed the picture of you and your dog Lear to my 11 yr old daughter. You know what she said: "Whoa, why is that dog so skinny, do they even feed him?". I told her your dog looks healthy, but I still found her comment a little funny...

If she thinks Lear looks skinny, she'd have me arrested .

I told her your dog looks healthy, but I still found her comment a little funny... Maria, tell your daughter thank you for me  . Lear was getting a bit chunky so I had to adjust his diet a bit. If she was looking at my current signature picture (below) I can see why she thinks he's skinny. He has a deep chest and with the straining forward motion, it makes his tummy tuck in tighter than if he were just standing so he looks thinner than he is. He weighs between 78 and 80 pounds; it vacillates a bit.
Btw, Maria, your dog is beautiful! I love his coloring.
If she thinks Lear looks skinny, she'd have me arrested .
:laugh: Are you talking about Caleb? He looks pretty perfect to me.
