Field trials vs Hunt test

[Glenda Brown]

My first field dog started in hunt tests going all the way through from JH on up. I then started trials with him and he became AFC Glenhaven Devil's Advocate UDT MH OS FDHF. I was much younger and had more energy therefore the various titles.

I also took two FC/AFC one Golden, one Lab---FC/AFC Glenhaven Htrs Mn Baronet MH OS FDHD and FC/AFC Yellowstone's Dust Devil MH and went from field trials to hunt tests. They loved it. Have taken a lot of QAA dogs and put MH titles on them over the years. Hunt tests actually helped Twist learn to do much better check down birds at trials. The three dogs named qualified for various Nationals as well.

Bart and Twist thought the hunt tests were being put on for their own personal enjoyment and really had fun. There are some field trial competitors in the Southern California area that also run hunt tests with their competitive trial dogs.

Wow. Those are some tremendous accomplishments. I've always heard it's much more difficult to go from hunt tests to field trials, then the other way around.
Never thought of the check down birds, struggling to get steady enough to deal with the breaking birds.

Well, I was about ready to kill my wife's dog yesterday in training. I was working on pulling off short flyer to look long and since he has only hunted or run hrc he had no clue and just refused to look long. I was doing this for my other dog but man who'd a thunk it would be that tough to get him to look long.

Obviously you need to hold him up, or get him a stool, how can you expect a dog to look long if he can't see over the 1st bush
