Would have to agree. Surely if a dogs tracks successfully he/she DOES actually find the articles?!

Well we as handlers cannot tell, if the dog has not found them (in WT as some are very very small) but that is not the case in Schutzhund, they are the size of a small building!

And the dog has to INDICATE it has found them by, in Schutzhund either lying down, standing or doing the full retrieve thing.
