That's the essence of it. Now all we can do is hear about him so it is neat to put a picture with a name. Awesome pics! Great pictures thanks for posting them. Thanks a million! My computer screen almost vibrates from the intensity in his eyes. That's what it's all about. Tim, once again you prove why I think your a stand up guy. Thanks, Ken. These are field trials and the people involved largely don't understand a normal day much less a "normal days hunt". The rest of them were as hard as a man can blow and still retain his plumbing.

The Fox 40 emergency whistle was ignored as well. Afterward Mike would say that Max was losing his hearing, and that was probably true, but that prey drive had something to do with it also I'm telling you. Sadly, Pat Sawyer had just arrived before the blind to see Max finish and maybe win his last trial. She was in tears afterwards as I'm sure Mike was, and sadly, that's the last time I saw this magnificent animal.

Now that's a post! He was being aired by Dave Smith, walking down a road.

I introduced myself to Dave and we chatted for a few minutes, and resumed walking. I asked who the dog was, and dave replied, "Lean Mac". I said he looks just like every other black Lab male, to which Dave commented, "Yes he does. But he has better eyes than most of them". Tim, Great post. Your pictures should be posted!

The video needs to find it's way to youtube! Don't ask me how, but I'll bet someone here could help. Thanks for the story. Tim, Wow just wow. Your post sent chills down my spine! What a way to start the morning. Now I know why I regularly check this site but never post 8. Really liked hearing the two stories about Lean Mac -- especially Tim's -- Tim if you could post pictures or better yet video that would be great. Tim awesome post!!!!! I would love to see the pics and video like everyone else. Those of us "newbies" to this game did not have the priviledge of watching this magnificent animal run!

Jealous Regards, Aaron. Great post brother!!!! Love hearing the old war stories. Ecspecially about Maxx. A Canadian trainer named Dennis Robbins did the early training on Maxx. Great Post Tim! D It never ceases to amaze me the details that some retriever enthusiasts can remember and describe from years ago regarding setups and each individual dog performance at trials or tests.

Thanks for sharing. Pretty please ; Lainee, Flash and Bullet. Pretty please ; Lainee, Flash and Bullet I agreelets see the pictures. Very good story. Pretty please ; With sugar on top I think all the pleas for pictures are falling on deaf ears. I'm pretty sure Tim is headed for a trial to chase points to qualify for the Nat'l Am. Adding to this Lean Mac discussion, Lardy's comment at a seminar this spring regarding folks talking about shying away from Lean Mac in breeding was something along the lines of why would you knock something that works.

He of course spoke very highly of the actual dog himself when questions were discussed and the other dog that came up often that he seemed sold on was his offspring Patton. And, he had some super performing Patton offspring to back it up. Tim thank you for your post thats the kind of info we all like to hear.. If you can post some pics. Awesome Tim Like Bruce Wafflehouse always says Field Trialers should take more pictures to save the memories.

I guess I can weigh in on my Lean Mac story. I knew of max when he was owned by his first owner Jacque McClean. I was running on my annual trip to canada to run the three trials up in BC and Max was at the end of his derby carreer. Jacque God rest his soul was a very large man and justifiably proud of his dog. When I watched him run, the only thing that was going to keep him from placing was breaking or beating Jacque to the line too many times. By far the greatest marking dog to that point in my time doing trials at that time.

Max had not had alot of training in comparison to todays standards. Max ran his first qualifying and had had two great series. He then proceeded to do a water blind mostly by land. Jacque came up to the gallery afterwords and asked a couple folks what they thought and some were being nice and said " well jacque you never know how they will judge it". I being one not to let it go told him I was pretty sure that he would be dropped considering that he had just done a water blind with the dog doing it all the way down the bank.

He grinned at me and told me he appreciated my honesty. Later that nite he came over to my cabin and visited with me. You could sure tell he loved that dog. He told me that a fellow was offering him an awful lot of money for him and he was considering taking him up on it. I told him I wouldnt even consider it but it depended on what you wanted. If you want a Field champion I would take him to the best pro you could afford and have him trained but if the money was that good - sell him.

He told me that the guy was also offering him some puppies also. It did work out best for max because he did get great training and unforturnately Jacque passed away a couple of years later. I am pretty sure that it was a tough decision for jacque because he really loved max. I have always held that memory of one of the greatest marking dogs and the big burlly good natured canadian that first owned him. I dont know about everyone else, but I wish we could see alot more of this type of thing here on RTF. Makes wading through the BS worthwhile.

Thanks to both of you for sharing your stories! This is what it is really all about. Now we just need to collect the Honcho, Lottie, Max etc stories and put them all in a sticky! I am a newbie, but love these stories. Each day I understand more of what went in to the breedingof my buddy. What a great forum, and great stories. Please keep it up, and I promise not to give training or breeding advice: Marty and I also witnessed the 2 events that Tim speaks of. Tim is right-on with the observations however I will add some "filler" The oklahoma event was so cold with so much wind that it would freeze your a off.

Mac came back on that series with a bird over his eyes and visited the entire gallery before he found Mike. With regards to the water blind that Mac retired on- There was not a dry eye in the place. I was walking towards the line to see the test when I heard Max was running. The next thing I know here comes Max with the bird in his mouth and the wing I think it was a pheasant covering his face. We were a good 30 yards down a hill from the line. He almost healed to me and I thought what the hell. I pulled out my camera and snapped a pic of him. I will try to find and post.

This was the first time I had seen him and it would be like seeing MJ for the first time. Great day. M Just ask Kip if you don't know Every once in a while there's a post on here worth wearing out a toner cartridge on. Great post, thank yall More war stories please This thread on Maxx is great -- really what RTF is all about -- thanks for sharing your stories especially Tim and Lonnie -- really appreciate this. Lean Mac had some early training by Dennis Robbins, how much or how often is open to question.

Jock loved the dog to the point of being Kennel blind. We did not talk about dogs as a reality comment could set him off, but he was a nice man, just that Lean Mac was his 1st dog of importance. The additional difference was that both those dogs did very good water blinds. Marvin S. Does anyone know how old Lean Mac was when he died? What did he die of? An answer would be appreciated.

I harassed Tim this weekend about posting the pictures, he says he will try and locate them Love reading stories about Mac. I wish there was more. Seems there ought to be a book about him filled with remembrances of those who knew the dog. Butt never touching the ground, extreme prey drive sounds like a grandson I know. Im back from the long drive from Colorado. I've got to find the pics which I'll try to do tomorrow.

For now, I'm hitting the pool with the family.

More stories please. And Tim, the photos also, please. From a personal view, as I imported an inbred Lean Mac son, I researched. I greatly enjoyed the various input, good and bad. I started looking last night. I found some pics of him running a female, which i think was Hattie McBunn, and Mike and Dave honoring dogs. I think I also found one of Mike Maxx from the back with a big wide shot of his setup. I'll find them tongiht I also talked to my good buddy Al Wilson who was the blind planter in the eighth. So, he saw the blind from the other end.

He said that as soon as Max blasted off the point he had his ears back and had his mind on one thing Al said the whistles were VERY loud, and even though Lardy attributed it to Max's deafness, Al thinks the prey drive kicked it as I do, and that was it!

Jock lived 30 miles away from my training grounds in B. Jock was a fascinating man, and I'll relate some information about him, mostly taken from an article I submitted to Retrievers Online Vol. VIII 6 pp. One evening, Jock came to my trailer and asked me to read a letter he had received.

I started reading it to myself and Jock said "please read it aloud". I hadn't known it before, but it turned out that Jock was illiterate. He could sign his name, but really couldn't read or write. The letter was a conditional offer from Sherwin Scott to purchase Maxx.

Best thing that could have happened, because Maxx was becoming very unmanageable for Jock. At that time, I didn't pay too much attention to the stories Jock told, because they seemed too far-fetched to be true, but I subsequently found out that they were indeed true. Jock started off his career as an amateur boxer from He hung up his gloves because he thought that Canadian fighters weren't given the same opportunity as their American counterparts. Walz never got the title shot he deserved. Jock, from Melville, Saskatchewan,, lied about his age to get into the army.

His papers stated he was born in , three years before his actual birth date. His first taste of fame came while hunting octopus near Port Hardy in They used to cut up octopus to use for bait while fishing for halibut. While swimming, octopus spread their tentacle to steer. Jock would fin his way through the tentacles and into the space behind the beast's head. Imagine swimming between foot tentacle and into a black hole. Talk about guts! One day Jock landed a true monster. This massive creature measured 32 feet across, and tipped the scales at close to lbs.

They harvested lbs. Jock had witnessed killer whales chase sea lions; one bite and half a sea lion would dispappear. One day Jock was down checking dens when he heard a squeaking sound. Initially, he thought it came from a boat, then he noticed a large white underbelly and a black eye staring at him from a few feet away. Jock crawled into the nearest den until the Orca swam away.
