Pointer Junior Hunt Test Qual

[kylemac]

My GSP, Max, did pretty well at a Hunt Test this weekend – received qualifying runs both Saturday and Sunday in Junior Hunter braces. I was interested to see how he would run with a brace mate but he did fine with it after an initial bit of tail chasing for 50-60 yards. He hunted well, I think, and he held a nice solid point on each day and let me flush the chukar before he broke.
More importantly I met a group of very helpful folks and got some contacts for folks in my area that train. Also - got to do some training with the help of some of the club members in the afternoon -- staged a couple chukar – Max pointed, we shot and he retrieved them nicely.
So, all in all a nice weekend. I was a little intimidated about the whole process – never having done anything like it – but it went very easy and everyone was helpful and encouraging. The judges were very nice and answered all my questions. I got to watch some nice dogs work as well. I am very glad to have gone and ran the test and would encourage anyone else considering it.
Regards.

I am glad that it went well for you and was a good experience. I did it for the first time last year and learned a lot and met some good people in the process.
