New AKC MH

Post by Ruffshooter » Sun Nov 04, 2007 3:12 pm

Well Buster became an AKC MH today in NH, 11/4/07.

He has done well this fall in these tests. He had not been tested for over a year. Had two legs back then. Since then we have been way to busy to test, and could not correct a problem that had been created over a 1 1/2 years ago running in the AKC MH test with a certain handler and dog( at least correct it to the consistency to pass). He was not backing and charging in on Chuckars. Got both fixed once I had the time.

I have run him in 6 test this fall to finish him. He got his 4 passes. He ran 11 times to pass 6 times. Yesterday he gave me a big doggy middle finger and took out the first quail he came to. We went back in the evening during the tropical storm and had some serious discussions.

He was flawless today.

Thanks Brenda,

Pretty happy with most of his work.

I am working on getting his water work which I screwed up better and more confident. Been taking him Duck hunting which he likes.

If I can get him to do a proper Duck search, I will enter him in a NAVHDA UT.

Brenda check PM
