The frog was named by herpetologist Blair Hedges for its seeming ability to
throw its voice, making it extremely challenging to locate — especially since it is the species»
call that first
alerted the search team to its presence.
SINGLE: one bird or dummy is
thrown DOUBLE: two birds or dummies are
thrown before the dog is sent — he must remember the location of both TRIPLE: three birds or dummies are
thrown GUNNER: person in the field who is
throwing the birds / bumpers; may be shooting a gun or yelling «hey, hey» to
alert dog that the
throw is coming LINE: the starting point for the retrieve and also the path taken to the bird or dummy MARK: a bird or dummy that the dog sees
thrown; «to mark» is a measure of how accurately the dog remembers where the
throws landed MEMORY MARK: After the dog picks up one bird or bumper of a double or triple, the remaining marks to be picked up are
called the memory marks
In such moments, we are
called upon to move quickly and boldly to shake off complacency,
throw aside old habits and rise, clear - eyed and
alert, to the necessity of big changes.
