7. TIME OUTS
Judge or majority of cast if hunting Judge is used,
may call time out in accordance with the following:
(a) When dogs are getting on highway, trail onto
posted land or trail into a place where there is
danger to dogs or hunters.
(e) When dog(s) are trailing out of hearing in different
directions.
Todd I believe you are missing the part about the majority of the cast with a hunting judge. 2-2 wouldn't be a majority, therefore as Jim stated, withdraw and go get your dog if you want, if not you run the risk of loosing it. In the other option of 3 dogs on road, and one in other direction, a 3-1 vote could cause time to be called. Bad break for the one handler, but it can and does happen.
As is the case in most all non-hunting judge cast, he/she needs not vote to call time if they desire, but I would surely hope they use good sound judgement before doing so. Also would hope that all handlers are fair to each other in such a situation, and do the right thing!
