67. Roy Ames - A Dive Into The NAVHDA Gun Dog Test and a Montana Recap
Description
Roy Ames joins the show again this week to share a bit about our recent trip to Montana, the sometimes frustrating learning curve of puppies, and take a look into the first year of NAVHDA's Gun Dog Test.
Announced this January at the NAVHDA Annual Meeting, the Gun Dog Test is a revision of the Utility Prep Test with the goal of increasing member participation while still providing a benchmark test for a serviceable companion gun dog. Roy breaks down this new opportunity for NAVHDA members to get involved at a more advanced level and both he and Mike share their insight from judging this test in it's first year.
If you're looking to take your next step from the Natural Ability test, give this a listen and consider running the Gun Dog Test this coming training and testing season. If you do, reach out and let Mike know about your experience!
