Best time of it was seeing my 17 year old nephew run his little GSP dog (the broken leg puppy) - Flapjack's Twisted Sister (Nova) for the first time - she turned 6 months at the start of the test. She passed two times (the first day was just a training day apparantly) with the second pass including a fantastic back during a flush and then a retrieve on one of the birds she pointed. Congrats to Clay for his first hunt test and training his own dog!
Second best was my sister taking her one year old GSP Handsome Hoffnung V Greif JH (Hopper) and take 4 straight passes to get his title in one weekend. Now, I know it's a JH title, but still, she hasn't ever bird hunted (my sis), she's never trained a birddog before, and she doesn't shoot, plus she has an aversion to birds. She had to pick up a live bird in the field and throw it for her dog and she didn't even flinch. She did a fantastic job preparing for this hunt test and training her own dog. Thanks to Jon and Cindy Hann for having her out for a seminar at Perfection Kennels - which got her hooked on this birddog stuff.
It was a cool family event!
