Have you ever noticed how many people get picked up 6 th .

Have you ever wondered why seven men with dogs always have to go to two men who have no dogs.

"they're picking up anything that drives a rabbit" : my dog was faulty and got eliminated.

"there's been a rabbit playing right here this morning" : my dog is cold trailing and I feel like a fool.

"my dog harks to gunfire" : if you shoot my dog will run away.

" they're letting them fly today" : my hound potters and got beat by the competition.

"she's a little skidish" : if you take this dog off the leash you will never see her again.

I bet you can come up with some good ones too. Listen for your self. The next time someone is returning from the field and get asked, "what are they looking for?".
