I think you have great knowledge of the rules. I try to be a gentleman and a good sport at the hunts. If someone wants to be the south end of a northbound donkey then I'll shake their hand at the end of my night and go on about my business. I could very well be wrong in what I'm reading, but it's the way I read it.
I am reading the rules as they are too and I agree...this is a good question and I may be wrong as well...one thing about it, I guarantee you it wouldn't be the first time!!!! I quoted your post because that was 95 % of what I was commenting on. Yours had nothing to do with the babbler, I realize that. I was just trying to answer the original poster.
Like you, I too would simply withdraw my dog. I will take it one step further and say that if I really felt like my dog was in imminent danger I'd yell "scratch him" and take off running. If my dog is in danger there might not be time to debate a rule. $20.00 entry fee that I aint getting back anyway vs. the value of my dog {well most nights, just sayin'} Do the math...that's a simple one to figure out.
Further more, if I am in a hunt and anyone's dog appears to be in danger I don't care if mine is winning the entire hunt, I am willing to do whatever to save a dog. There will always be more chances to get in another hunt but a dog, any dog only has one life. Let him get hit by a car so I can keep some tree points???? Not me. Thanks a million for your nice comments about my knowledge, I don't hear that every day!!!!
