Again to answer the question. The judge must make an educated judgment if the dog is babbling or on track. The judge has the right to minus strike points if there is no track. The judge can't put a time frame on the dog unless he uses the eight minute rule and if he feels the dog is babbling he should minus it right then. It is not a scratchable offense, but it could minus you out pretty fast.

in u.k.c. hunts you get 1 min. each and every time a dog or dogs are turned loose. If dog or dogs are split treed and are turned back in to other dogs the 1 minute rule still applies.

You get one minute for your dog to babble but you don't have to take it. You can strike in at any time.

(h) Dog(s) declared struck and determined to be babbling will be minused their strike points. Babbling is defined as when a dog opens three times or has been struck where no track is evident.

If you strike anytime during the first minute the judge can not minus you as long as it is evedent the track goes on. The key is a TRACK BEING EVEDENT, and anyone that has coonhunted at least a day or two can tell if there is a track evedent or not so realy the subject isnt even worth talking about. Just strike your dog when IT strikes and tree it when IT trees and youll be fine.

I guess I am slow. How do you tell a track is evident from 3 barks of a dog that has just been cast into the dark? Now if it is out on pavement or some place I could see it. Most casts I have been on cast the dogs were there are tracks likely.

If a dog strikes within the first minute , the judge can minus the dog for babbling , if he believes that the dog is babbling. And then , I believe , it is subject to a question and a vote.

HOWEVER , he must make his decision when the dog is struck. He cannot wait 3 minutes , and then decide to minus it.

IF he doesn't minus the dog right off , then the dog has 8 minutes to open again.

That is why not everyone is qualified to judge a cast. A judge must be able to recognize a dog that is false barking from a dog that is trailing, even if he has never heard that dog before. Most experienced houndsmen can listen to a dog opening and know if that dog is trailing or babbling. If they don't have that ability, they shouldn't be carrying the card.

Why can't he? Where does it say that? I believe a judge can minus a dog for babbling ANYTIME after it is struck.

This was covered in the advisor a few months back. The judge must make an educated judgment.

Well most babblers will babble every time you cut them. So I would say if the dog doesn't babble the rest of the night when you cut it you have a pretty good idea it isn't babbleing.

The dog better be babbling WHEN he minuses it or the judge will lose on the question. A call has to be made when the dog is babbling. Not 3 minutes or 30 minutes later.

What if a judge calls it babbleing and it becomes apparent the dog was running a track? Then what happens?

Like Jim said, this decision doesnt have to be made instantly. Whats wrong with saying to the handler that gets struck quick that your dog will need to carry that track away or you will be minused for striking him on a babble. Sems like the fair way to handle it.

Evident- easy to see or understand..................if you could see the track you wouldn't need the dog.
That need to be reworded.

Another rule question?
Dogs are cut loose.
30 seconds after turning loose the handler strikes his dog after it opens.
Judge looks at handler and says "If that dog doesn't open within one minute I will scratch it for babbling."

Does this dog have 1 minute to open or 8 minutes?

His post doesn't say anything about running down the road. I have never cast dogs down a road but it would be evident that it wasn't on a track. If that was the case.
Were we hunt we dump on creeks and it is very posible and even probable that a hound will strike in the first minute some times.

Soon as a judge says hes gonna scratch for babbling after minute just ask politely for the back of the card and let him point out the rule that gives him that right. There isnt one.

My dog will open on the chain if he winds a coon, and will open in the wind a time or two while running the wind to the track, but he doesnt just bark when cut as a matter of fact Ive never seen him do it that he didnt tree before the 8 could have gotten him. Ive hunted with dogs that babble sometime they get lucky sometimes the 8 gets em. On to the next drop and try again.
