Rip, do you just like to argue?? My point is that dog is either at the tree and getting leashed and scratched or it is not at the tree....
Being in the area does not scratch them and a dog in the area does not need handled...common sense here...dog is either at the tree or it aint...i think we agree you just misunderstood me....
The original poster didnt answer us on what the dog in question was actually doibg or where it was actually seen....could been 50yds away seen milling around...could been standi g on the tree but not barking...
Why yes, I do like to argue but that's beside the point LOL.
I never mean any harm or offense in these debates. I learn alot in them and I enjoy the rules discussions.
The point is yes a dog in the area according to the rules DOES have to be leashed because the rules say ALL dogs at the tree must be leashed. Nobody has a choice in that. You can't wait and see what the dog does. You just have to leash him up if they are at the tree.
By the same token, the dog can be at the tree, not treeing and therefore it isn't scratched because being at the tree is not running, molesting or treeing off game. It just so happens to be at the tree and the handler nor judge has the option to just see what he will do. The dog must be leashed. Just because you put the leash on him at the tree doesn't mean the dog is scratched.
That is what the origional post describes, the dog didn't tree, just happened to come through that area. Didn't open or anything (at least that's his side of the story and that's all we can debate is the side that is posted).
All anyone has been saying is that the dog does have to do something, he has to perform some kind of act, to show that he is indeed running, molesting or treeing off game. You can't just scratch him cause he happens to be at the tree and then by rule had to be leashed at that tree.
