Here is a link to blank documents copied from the AKC entry form. I too use pre-filled in versions and just change the top event info.

I would like to add a little to Don's post above. You only use a blank gun in JH. Gunshyness is tested in your trainability score. As for the difference in JH & SH in the hunting category. Both must hunt but the SH is watched with "less tolerance"... Wonderful AKC wording. I interpret that as have m...

Gotta love a vizsla with a tail!

Try this. Next time pup runs to you, hook it on a lead. Let him walk a little. No more hunting. This works best with a running mate... Release the pup to run again. If he returns... on the hook. Walk... no more running... Release. Message is... return to handler means on the hook. Give it a shot. I ...

OK... is Pen Pensicola?

If so, email me and I can connect you with a bunch of shorthair guys/gals up in the panhandle.

Toby, What part of the state is Pen?

I suggest hooking up with a local club for hunting and training opportunities. There are a bunch of AKC clubs in Florida as well as NSTRA, AF and NAVHDA groups.

Welcome to the site and welcome to the world of gun dogs.

Go ahead and enter under your CKC number. Check the Foreign NO. box on the entry form. Go to http://www.akc.org/pdfs/foreign.pdf for the form to fill out. AKC will send you a letter if you place telling you that you have 30 days to do the import. Piece of cake. I have done this procedure with two im...

I've always heard that if you send your dog, it had better come back with a bird or you fail. I have experianced this but mainly from judges who are field trialers. A good hunt test judge knows the rules and stays up with changes or the finer points. Go online and check your judges "Last seminar da...

tenbearsviz

So I guess the moral of the story is to go ahead and send your dog if it's a good, clean hit and retrieve situation, but ask for direction of the judge if there's any doubt. Here is an exerpt from the rule book "Some unusual situations can occur in the retrieve. For instance, the gunner fires a sho...

Anyone else going? Feb 24th to completion. Ken B Farm

I have a contact near Brandon. PM for details.

For what it is worth. If I had a choice, I would pick quail over pigeons to introduce a pup to. If the choice is a financial one, I would still go with quail. At that age, she should have a pretty good pray drive going. If it were my dog, I would find a place in your training area that resembles a t...

I knew that dogs's name sounded familiar. I just put two and two together and figured out who you are. We judged OLGD together over the New Years weekend.

Congratulations!

Brian, Florida has a lot to offer you if you want to get into competition or hunting with your pointer. Not sure where you are on the east coast but a few places to visit would be: Lake Wales: NSTRA & NAVHDA. I dont recall the name but could find you details if you were interested. Cecil Webb in Pun...

I've owned vizslas since 1998. If I had to do it over again, I would do it the same way.

We left after the AKC trial. The CGPDC always puts on a class event.

I am coming up to the CGPDC trial at the end of the month. I am judging and running a couple dogs.

Bruce, I think they have a talent for finding people that display passion for the sport. And you will need 2 horses. It is kind of like having a spare, or when the wife wants to ride.

The running order had Greg King as handler for dogs named Zack and Tank.

Nice looking horse. He looks young and has groceries in the right places. Hard to tell his height but I would guess he is less then 15 h. Other things to train for...

I haven't trained with a collar but sometimes wish I did. I do use a pinch collar with blunt spikes for check cord length fixable issues.

Spay incontinence is not unusual. I have a bitch that does the same thing once in a while. Mostly when she is really tired.

It is a good book. It is perfect for someone that doesn't have a lot of support from a mentor or local club.

I read it cover to cover, over and over as I trained for MH years ago. It was the best handler advice I found.

As a judge, I wish more people had read it.

tenbearsviz

There is Bob Seelye at http://www.cliffsidebirddogs.com/ also. I know he has training vacations.

I am planning on running him in hunt tests. I mostly hunt with the dog and he is steady enough for me already. I was just wondering if they will fail him in a hunt test for turning? He will reposition his whole body buy he doesn't move... In an AKC Hunt test, this should not fail you. Rules specifi...

Congratulations!

May his OFA be Excellent!

tenbearsviz

Dogs are allowed to turn and mark as long as there is no significant forward motion.

A good AKC Hunting Test judge will not fault a dog for a mark if the dog does not take steps forward.

I know in FL that any trailer and load over 2000 lbs require trailer brakes. Check the tongue for that funky inertia brake system. Any wiring over 4 wires will have accesory and brake circuits.

They always ask that when a vizsla has huge run, high tail set and/or a white chest. There will always be speculation that there was a pointer in the woodshed somewhere. We have the same problem.
