I have been running AKC tests and want to run a few UKC tests this fall. One question I have is if you do not pass the first part of a test are you still allowed to run the second part? I think I saw somewhere that you were but I can not find it.

HRC does allow walk ups but clubs can control this by not allowing it. It is pretty simple. Some clubs will charge an additional fee for walks up in Seasoned and Finished. This does not make bird counts simple but there are ways to work out the costs. Remember the CLUBS control this along with the limited number of dogs in each flight as long as the don't exceed the rule book qty.
To the O/P- run your dog all day as long as you don't have a gun safety issue and you don't feel you are undermining your training. In finished we don't usually see folks run if they are out but if they are new to the program and need more line time they will run in the afternoon. Sundays is pretty much a given that if you are out most will head home early and not run.

If you are doing a retriever test you can run the entire test even if you failed the first part. If you are failed for gun safety you and the dog can't run the rest of that test. You can still run other test on that day with a different dog. If you are running HRC upland there are typically two test per day if you failed the first test for gun safety you can still run the second test for that day.
Not correct. In HRC you are not failed for gun safety, you are disqualified, that dog fails the test, and you cannot run any dog for the rest of the day. Someone else can run the dogs you were planning to run, but as a DQ'd handler, you are done for the day.
Since the has gone away from the question asked, I have a curiosity question. Since HRC uses dead birds only with no flyers (almost never) why would there be a problem with bird counts?
