I NEVER like dry runs!
I don't mind so much the hunts where the dogs strike and get out ran. I don't like it when they get burnt. But...on these hunts you learn and so do your dogs.
With me...the age of my dogs more often dictates how I feel about the outcome of the event, lol.
I never like getting out ran. To me that just means my dogs quit. Which they tend to do that a lot.
