We had a great time at the hunt tests in Mayfield, Idaho this year. It was a good place to meet other bird dog hunters and trainers. It is always to good to hear about training methods that are working for other trainers while sharing what works for us.
Stella, Kenya’s sister, did very well. She was almost nine months old at the test and performed exceptionally. She passed four of her four junior hunt tests and earned an AKC JH title. In four runs, she had 8 finds and held through the shot on all 8 birds.
We also had a GSP named Dottie who was trained at Cove Mountain Kennels come along with her owner. She also went four for four and earned a JH title. She was a bird finding machine!
