GSPCO Hunt Test

Training Day

We spent time waiting our turn.

She always has something to say to me! 

Saturday - First day of Hunt Test

Sparrow went birdless in her brace with a Brittany. She ran in the second brace under tough scenting conditions - no wind. In the first three braces that morning, only one dog found a bird. 

In Steve and Loki's first Hunt Test, there was success. Loki found three birds and earned his first leg of his JH title.

Second Day of the Hunt Test

Loki was not entered on Sunday. Sparrow ran in the 4th brace of Juniors and was the first one up after lunch. The breeze held and she found two birds. She scored 8s on Hunting, Bird Finding, Pointing, and 9s on Trainability to earn her first leg of her JH title.

We had a really nice time and wish to thank the German Shorthaired Pointer Club of Oregon for putting on a well run Hunt Test, June 1 and 2, 2013.
