Little Ace shows no fear. Very curious boy. He really comes from good stock, Grady, my boy's granddad! Thanks for the video and keep 'em coming. All the best.

He really is fearless. The dog would run through a brick wall if I’d let him. He is quite a high drive puppy. I went all in for my first hunt test dog. We have been getting back into the basic obedience training and he is a super sharp tack!

Well after dealing with Ace fracturing his Ulna at 12 weeks old, we received our first 2 AKC Junior passes at just under 9 months. We are going to wait until the spring to finish off his JH title before advancing onto AKC Senior tests! I learned a lot since these are the first two test I have ever handled in and am excited to train hard over the winter to play more games next year!

Congratulations - on the ribbons, sure, but more for your commitment to training such a nice young dog, and for your patience with him over his recovery from the elbow problem. Big things ahead for both of you and best of luck in accomplishing them together.

Good going Brad and Ace! Problem is, now your hooked. JH is only a gateway drug to SH, MH and on and on..... Enjoy the ride with that boy, he's quite handsome.

I was hooked before we even started this! I enjoy seeing how he learns and progresses. We are currently working on wagon wheel now and he is such a great team player!

Well Ace and I ran in our first NAHRA test April 23rd and 24th. I personally really enjoy the NAHRA games and plan to run more of them in the future. The people are a blast and the tests themselves add some additional challenges. We will be running in our 2nd weekend of AKC Junior tests June 4th and 5th chasing after our JH title. We are taking our time and going through all the steps since I am a new handler. This dog is small but mighty! Looking forward to running some Senior tests and possibly a few Derby's this fall.

Ace earned his first title this past weekend. We ran our first Junior test last fall at 8 and a half months. Our Saturday test he stepped on all 4 birds, had a brain fart on the first bird on Sunday but really turned it around in the next series. This is my first gundog that I have ran in tests and I am absolutely addicted. I look forward to continuing our training as we are setting our sights on Senior tests this fall!

Wow, good job, he is a fine-looking Lab! And you my friend are hooked! I too have the 'Hunt Test' bug! I have a SH female and our newest guy is working on his MH. I have been running in tests for over 20 years and have had a total of 6 dogs since I began run in hunt tests, including the two I now have. My wife and I consider running hunt test as one of the really fun things we do in our lives. We do it for the pure fun of it. Meeting all the people and dogs, plus the fun of running your own dogs....pure fun it is! It can be frustrating, but nothing worth doing is easy. Enjoy...
