This video showcases the French Ring Sport exercise, Search & Escort! Not only is this exercise worth the most amount of point of any exercise in French Ring (40 pts), but can also be one of the longest and most challenging for the dog. On the handler's command, the dog is sent to search every blind by running the perimeter of the field. It is their job to find the decoy and alert the handler by barking. Once the decoy has been located, after a minute he will attempt to escape from the blind he's hidden in. The dog must then apprehend (BITE) the decoy! Once this is complete, the decoy will then go into the escort. He has three attempts to escape and get as far away from the dog as possible before being bit. The farther he can get from the dog before getting bit, the more points the dog will lose. This tests the dog's technique, vigilance and conditioning! My boy Jasper has performed this exercise in many competitions at the highest level vs. some of the very best decoys! Enjoy! Leave your questions/ comments! Like and PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!!
