LMAO, that is what happened to me with Truman on my first match. The dog was game as hell, but had average ability and arguably the worst work ethic of any dog I have ever owned in 2+ decades of having dogs.

He wouldn't run. He wouldn't fetch. He wouldn't chase a hide. I tried swimming, and he was actually so lazy he did choose drowning over swimming at one point, way before exhaustion, and just decided to sink. I actually had to save him and hold him up by the belly and let him flop his legs

The only thing Truman would go apeshit over was the sight of another dog, but I didn't have a mill at the time, let alone two to face each other. In hindsight, I really should have just paid forfeit

Good post Jack. I was hoping I wasn't paddling that boat all alone. EWO

We have an indoor pool here at the new house. I can't wait to get it up and running and be able to use THAT as a tool also. Did I mention it was heated too?

I told you all I am digitally challenged to say the least. I thought it was the pic of the setup but it is just the bar. Anyway this bar fits in hitch of the truck as you see. There is a wheel assembly with 310' of 5/16th cable. I hook it to a tree and drive off. I set up the stops at 10' away from the truck and at about the 290' mark (where the cable is damaged). This gives the dog about a 280' sprint. There is a 5/16" roller bearing pulley with a double swivel lead attached tot he pulley and the dog. I zing by on the four wheeler and they go ape shit after it. I will try to find where the pic of the wheel and cable went a repost. Not too good at this copying and pasting and uploading. EWO
