A song about the dangers and difficulties of being an agitator (also called "decoy" or "bad guy", ie the one who gets bitten) in French Ring Sport. The Ring decoy wears a complete "suit" of padding, but the dog is allowed to bite anywhere. Most of the French dogs are very fast and hit like a bullet, usually biting low on the leg. Some say that Ring is to Schutzundt as Ice Hockey is to Soccer.
I wrote this song after coming home from the first ever US seminar on Ring Sport. It was a wonderful event. Working dog people came from all over the US and Canada. Most of the decoys were very experienced Schutzhundt decoys and they initially thought tat Ring was going to be easy. They went home much wiser.
