AKC Hunt Test June 21-22-----Result's

[Wayne1]

I've never run a AKC hunt test before, but have titled him in NAHRA. I've entered him in the up coming AKC test at Burlington Ranch in Chewelah, Wa. on the 21st, and 22nd. If anyone here are running their dog's then also... would love to meet you.

What does that test consist of?

[Wayne1]

depend's on what your running in..  Junior, Senior, or Masters..  but they all have land and water mark's. Junior's are single mark's, Senior has double mark's, and believe Masters has triple mark's. Senior, and Master's also has land and water blinds.

Hmmmmm. Do they come over to my side of the mountains. How do you get schelude for these events?

For AKC on this side of the mountian's, you can get ahold of

They can proably also tell you of other upcoming event's

For NAHRA Hunt test's on the west side of the mountian's

and again..  get ahold of an officer there and I'm sure they can tell you of other event's in the state. I know Spokane Bird dog club has at least 1 more event this summer.

Also if you ever want to run any Bird Dog Challage's,

They will be running several more event's this year...   plus I believe a club will be running one on the west side this year

Cool. Thanks I might just have to go to one. I'm still working with her on hand singles, moving her to the left or the right, come in and she has back down pat. But what the hell it would be fun to see her out there trying.

[Wayne1]

Run her in NAHRA Started, or AKC Junior...  neither one would require hand signal's. If ya really want to start a good training program..  let me know and I'll mail ya some great taining DVD's

[Snowman]

Yeah totally interested. I really would love to get more involved with that stuff. I'm just going to have to break down and really start reading huh? Really don't like to read but it would be well worth my time and her's

[Wayne1]

That's why I like the DVD's...  I'm a visual type

[Snowman]

Yeah more visual too.
