I looked navhda up and like the fact that the dogs are run by themselves against a standard instead of against another dog. I have see judges who are friends with judges and who judge each other's dogs show preferential treatment and at times overlooking what should be grounds for disqualification. I don't like this clique type organization. I saw them give a guy straight 10's whose dog performed satisfactory at best and then heard the judges remark on how beautiful the dog was. They turned a hunt test into a beauty pageant contest. I am going to run mine in seniors and see how things go if I don't like what is going on I will be done with the AKC hunt tests.
