It’s is fun to see how a hunt test is so different in every country. The way the dog learn to hunt is the same, marking, hand and whistle sings. Here in the Netherlands we call it the Nimrod. This championship is every year in November. A dog may participate one time in his life, after he completed all the test C, B and A. The handler can participate more times in life but with a different dog. If you got the time, you can watch the Nimrod on KZfaq. If you succeed you got a AA certificate.

Yes, it is very fun to see hunt tests from other countries! We have several different venues here in the US, and it is very enjoyable watching all. I enjoy watching all dogs enjoy doing what they were bred to do! Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching!

Great video! I am preparing myself and my dog, Olive for Sr Hunt Test this year. She got her Jr Title last fall and we ended the 23 season working on the Sr level tests. Your video gives me great insight into how prepare and what to expect as we enter the 24 season. Thank you!

Go Nala! And thanks for the explanation. Seeing it visually helps more than just reading test descriptions on paper

Thank you for all your videos. It makes MN winters go by fast even though it’s not much of a winter so far this year. A quick question about the “no more talking” once you are called up. What’s consider talking? Or what’s too much talking? Also from other videos, I remember an AKC judge said something about challenging the line. So does a senior test not require it? Sorry for all these questions, I’m a new dog owner and am interested in the game. Thank you again.

Great questions! At a hunt test, once you call for the birds, no talking is allowed. In this case, during a walk-up, when the judge signals for the walk-up bird, you can say "sit" or blow your whistle to sit, but not both! That is it for talking during the duration of when the birds are being thrown. You cannot talk again until the judge releases you and your dog to start retrieving. As far as "challenging the line". Yes, you should always challenge the line as Teri did in this video. Her initial lines could have been better, but in Senior, most judges are a bit more lenient than during the Master level. Thanks for watching! .

Hi. On the walk up are you allowed to verbally heel your dog as your walking up if he begins to stray?
@TheRetrieverNation 2 ай бұрын
Great question! Yes you are, but be aware that the judges may be taking notice of how often you are telling your dog to heel. Once or twice is nothing to note, but 10x may drop your trainability score. Thanks for watching!
