I would have to say even the best dogman/women could misjudged that right time of when to and when not to pick up that split second could cost you! And sometimes that's when you could see were the gentleman in the game has went and were pride has taken over! For some it very hard to shake their opponents hand and say " you kicked my ass today be we will meet again" with a :-) on their face! Now I'm just the same as anyone else I hate to lose but I would much rather lose on a game pick up and have that game plug to add to the family of hounds then to be stuck with a bunch of would of,should have's! You can't win them all!
