    Choosing a Dog

Minimal training and he still learned to potty train, sit, stay, leave rooms when asked, get in the truck, fetch, etc. One thing I will mention about the breed.....the long hair can cause...

    New to Me Garmin 200i and TT15 mini/ Can it replace my 66i for big game hunting too?

    Thanks.. I ran the collar to full charge and then did a test to see how long it would last, seems to be somewhere around 18 to 20 hrs without using it for shocks/vibrates, etc. So it appears that the handheld will run out faster than the Collar in real world use.
