AKC Final Approval for Garmin GPS Unit

Some people think this is the best thing to happen to field trials since they started using horses. Others are not so sure. Like the horse, this opens new opportunities for win-at-all-costs competitors to cut corners. Unlike the horse, this is a new area of technology that allows for never before known peace of mind for handers of big running dogs.

So we have an up-side and a down-side. What do you think?

Field trials should not be about money and technology, but about the skill of the dogs. With that being said however, just as instant replay has changed other sports verifying the accuracy of the call on the field or court, technology is creeping into field trialing just as it has other sports. For better or worse it's here!
