Mustad,

If you are running JGHV tests with this dog, take note that the rules have changed. You cannot tell a dog "hold" if it is mouthing a bird on a retrieve...if you do you fail. The dog must be trained so that any animal it finds must be retrieved to hand with one command only.

I would FF, throughly. Also, don't try to do it "lab style". The amount of pressure that they put on labs during FF is not necessary for most continental breeds, and is in fact, too much. Slow and steady with just enough pressure to get your point across is all it takes.
