FOR YOUR SAFETY All handlers and gallery members must wear an article of blaze orange. NO EXCEPTIONS! These events do require the use of dogs and horses. The hunt test committee can not guarantee the disposition of these animals. We ask that parents do not allow their children to approach the dogs and horses while they are tied out, without permission. We don t want anyone to be bitten, kicked, stepped on, wrapped up in chains, or hurt in any way. HUNTING TEST EXPECTATIONS Junior Hunting Test A junior dog must show a keen desire to hunt, be bold and independent, have a fast yet attractive manner of hunting and demonstrate not only intelligence in seeking objectives, but also the ability to find game. A junior dog must establish point, but no additional credit shall be given for steadiness to wing and shot. If the handler is in reasonable gun range of a bird which has been flushed after a point, a blank cartridge must be fired by the handler. Junior dogs must hold point until the handler gets within normal gunshot range. Junior dogs must also show reasonable obedience to their handler s commands. A flash point cannot be graded as pointing. A dog may be retrained (collared) to prevent interference with the dog on point. Senior Hunting Test Senior dogs must show all the attributes of a junior dog. In addition the dog must be steady to wing and must remain in position until the bird is shot or they are released. A senior dog must retrieve, but need not deliver to hand. Whenever it encounters its bracemate on point, it must honor, but may be given a verbal command to do so. A senior dog must acknowledge that its bracemate is on point before it is cautioned to honor. A senior dog must stop on a wild flush, but may be given a verbal command to do so. If a senior dog does not have the opportunity to demonstrate its ability to retrieve or honor during the running of the brace, it will be called back to demonstrate these abilities, provided the dog is in a position to receive a qualifying score. Senior dogs which render a bird unfit for the table or which steals their bracemate s point will not receive a qualifying score. Master Hunting Test Master Hunting dogs must give a finished performance and demonstrate clearly that it deserves to be qualified as such This is the complete hunting companion that any hunter would be proud to own. It must be under its handler s control at all times, and handle kindly with a minimum of noise and hacking by the handler. A master hunting dog must show a keen desire to hunt. The dog must hunt for it s handler at all times at a range suitable for a handler on foot, and should show or check in front of its handler frequently. It must cover adequate ground but never range out of sight for a length of time that would detract from its usefulness as a practical hunting companion. The dog must locate game, must point staunchly, and must be steady to wing and shot on all birds, and if it breaks it cannot receive a qualifying score. Intelligent use of the wind and terrain in locating game, accurate nose and intensity on point ar essential. Whenever it encounters a bracemate on point, it must honor. A dog that steals its bracemate s point cannot receive a qualifying score. A master hunting dog must positively demonstrate its steadiness to wing and shot. The handler shall not command or signal the dog to retrieve until positive steadiness has been demonstrated. The dog must retrieve promptly, tenderly and absolutely to hand.
