If I understand you guys correctly you believe that you can strike your dog before the one minute is up and that dog is not held accountable for the strike??? Because the minute wasn't up???
Sorry guys, it don't work that way. You do not have to call your dog for the first minute if he opens, but...if you elect to call him struck then that dog is fully accountable by the rules for that track. Same as any other dog called struck any other time.
"U will get "called out" on babbling " if " it warrants it."
Yep, and you will get minused if he quits the track and comes back or fails to bark in the required time, 8 minutes.
I was talking more like when your dog strikes(opens), then doesn't open again for say 200-300yds or a few minutes. I've had a judge tell me he didn't carry that track out of there, so he's minused. We put it to a vote and over ruled the judge, but he wasn't happy about it. The minute wasn't up, and we couldn't see the dogs either, but mine wasn't babbling. He might a few times right when you cut him, but after that he only opens on a track. But if someone strikes right off the leash, then yes they should get their minus 90% of the time.
