Ran the dogs in the Lower Columbia HRC test (Gervais OR) last weekend.
Weezle the pup (a little over 2.5 y/o) got his HRCH and Tucker the "old pro" passed both days (he has 29 passes for the last 30 tests).
There was a Boykin that got to the 500 point club !
I found it very interesting that there were "other breeds" too.
There were 2 or 3 Weimies, a GSP, two or three Britts.
They ran in the Started division and did very good jobs.
One Britt ran in the Seasoned division, but went out on the blind retrieve.

Good deal Weezle & Tucker! Doc do you ever see an Airedale at the field/hunt tests?

I've only seen two.
They did well on the "Started Level" retrieves, but didn't do very good on the more complicated blind retrieves. They were pretty independent and wanted to hunt instead of being handled.
