patrick,

awesome pictures. keep them coming. one thing i noticed...maybe i'm looking at it wrong, but it looks like a few dogs are targeting the legs on the stick attack. is that true or am i just missing something?

ps...a rotty with an undocked tail doing KNPV...a beautiful sight...

 

[Tim Martens]

yeah, in looking at those pictures it looks like there are quite a few PH1 and PH2 dogs targeting the legs on the stick attack. THIS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED!!! haha. i just think the stick attack is one of the most exciting parts of the KNPV routine and if they're going to start training dogs to target the legs on this, then they might as well just call it a ring sport...

Actually in a old book (30 yrs old), leg attacks are preferred in KNPV.

To learn a proper leg attack in knpv is even harder than the ring ´cause the only may bite in the underleg :wink: and confrontation between dog and decoy is harder..both are going frontwards.

It takes another thechnique to learn a leg stick attack, for many people the arm attack is easier to learn and more spectular to see.
