HUNT TESTS & FIELD TRIALS

Just like children, every dog has a unique personality and needs.  We limit the number of dogs in our training program to assure that your dog gets the focused attention and repetition that are required to learn at a fast, confident pace.

HUNT TESTS

AKC Hunt Tests are a means of judging the dog's ability to perform against a standard of perfection established by the AKC regulations. Unlike field trials, they are noncompetitive, meaning the dogs must simply meet a standard of performance, rather than beat other dogs. Labs receiving qualifying scores at a given number of tests can earn the titles Junior Hunter (JH), Senior Hunter (SH), and Master Hunter (MH). Each successive title requires more skill, and dogs are judged more strictly as they advance.  Contact us to find out more!

FIELD TRIALS

A field trial is a competitive event, meaning that dogs compete against each other for placements and points toward a field championship. Titles that can be earned are field champion (FC) and amateur field champion (AFC). Once earned, these titles become part of the dog's name.  Contact us to find out more!

UPLAND TOURNAMENT HUNTING

Upland Tournament Hunting combines the elements of wild bird hunting with the adrenaline-pumping addition of head to head competition! One or two hunters. One or two dogs. A defined set of field boundaries with a number of birds planted in the cover. Throw in a stop watch to help define victory and you have Tournament Hunting, NATHA style!  Contact us to find out more!
