id say there would be a good reason for it, depending on when and where

he does have his own dogs to train, plus the stud dogs. he has a few blokes who help him out and im sure if he was suppose to be there either darky or glen rounds would of been there for him as they do trial alot of his dogs

not to mention what was said above, his health isnt the best.

but i can vouch for him as a person, ive asked him for advice a few times and he has been more then happy to assist, not attitude at all. ive asked him about certain sires for a bitch, one who he was actually standing and he pushed me away from his own dog as he didnt like the cross

each to there own but darren is a pretty down to earth bloke who can train a dog
