Looking for a Lab

**GRAARG** · April 1st, 2017, 04:41 PM

I am not a FTer, I hunt ducks and pheasants and occasionally do a HT to benchmark training and progress. But I have never found anyone in the FT community to be anything other then helpful. Everyone has their preferred technique but I have never found any of the FTers to be anything other than hugely supportive of dogs and training even if their techniques are different.

Thanks I appreciate your input however if you were to read between the lines from some of the FT group members it is clear they have it out for me. If I hadn't said anything earlier this morning the next few days would of been a barrage of comments aimed at me. As soon as I make any statement the bottom of the page titled, Thread Information ,there are currently # users browsing this thread , almost immediately it is full of FT lab people reading my comment and then making a comment. I know when I am being set up. I can pretty much predict who will comment first and who will follow.
For the most part 90% of the time I do not say anything related to gundog training because I know I will be attacked. That's the truth and the sad reality. Even if you only believe half I what I have said it is still a big problem. I have gone the extra mile in the last year and a half to respect all views when it comes to training and could easily go head to head with anyone. But I have chosen not to out of respect unless it completely missed the mark. I am first to admit that I have made mistakes in the past and it takes two to tango.
When current/new forum members start sending me PM's about the attacks directed at me I cannot ignore that. I do not have your knowledge as well as some of other FT group members and may never will. If I wanted to discuss FT training then I would of joined the Canadian Gundog Forum but I didn't and have no desire to. Instead I joined the OOD forum that is vastly different from that forum as it should given the wide variety of topics presented and discussed.
In saying that I should not be tip toeing around a small group of FT people on this forum when they have another platform to discuss such topics to their hearts content. This not an FT forum it is a forum to discuss all dog sports. If it were I would then join another forum.
Thanks

I believe you have sugar coated some or your thoughts/concerns with regards to what I have stated earlier but I respect your opinion even though I do not agree with you.
