UPDATE: 2ND MINIATURE POODLE GETS AKC JUNIOR HUNTER TITLE
Since being allowed to enter AKC Hunt Tests 1/1/14, the second miniature poodle, Nina, got the AKC Junior Hunter title last weekend in Buckhead, GA (Atlanta Retriever Club). "It is truly special to have the whole gallery rooting and cheering you on! Nina was very pleased with herself as well. I was absolutely bursting with pride!"
If you do the work, you get the prize. Well, she did it. Four ducks at four tests. Yes, normal sized ducks. Yes, the small mouth delivered each of them to my hand. Yes, she does swim. Yes, she is fearless in deep, dense cover. Yes, she CANNOT see over tall grass, but with her incredible marking skills, she triangulates the duck's downward trajectory and figures out where it lands - every time. Small dog, big talent, huge heart.
I am glad there are many of you who can accept the strengths and talents and unique styles of different breeds who choose to play the game. Best Wishes and Happy Hunting!
