This weekend John and Gambler were off again running a hunt test. This time they ran a United Kennel Club sanctioned test by the Hunting Retriever Club. Muddy Waters Was the host club. They ran a test yesterday but didn’t pass. In hunt test training and running you always encounter something you may not have trained for or expected. Last week at a AKC hunt test Gambler broke, which means he went and picked up the bird before the judge released him. That was a fail, so this weeks training was to set him up for a break and then to correct him in doing this we caused another problem we caused him not to leave the line. At Saturday’s test he went and picked up two marks and John sent him for the third mark and he wouldn’t go, John said his name again and he then left to get the mark but it was too late he failed the test. It’s a vicious cycle these are two things Gambler has never done before so John was really worried he was going to have troubles with him today but he didn’t Gambler pulled it off and brought home a ribbon. Two more passes to go for his title.

You did well. Everyone has failures now and then, but you made up for it the next day.
Way to go G-Main…just remember, if you did everything perfectly all the time, your mom would have nothing to write about. 🙂
It’s so hard to train for each and every single thing that could happen. I remember that from obedience class with Sinead. I can’t imagine the level of complexity involved with a hunting trial!

Congratulations Gman and your dad, you two are doing a great job!!!! 🙂
Great job overcoming the past mistakes and getting that ribbon, Gambler! You look quite proud and handsome! (and a little silly in some of the photos…but we like that!)
YAY!!!! I love the picture with the medal where he is winking! He’s like, “Yeah, I got this!” 😀 Congratulations!
Congrats. I guess G-Man wants you guys to work as hard for that title as he does! 😉 Well done.
Gambler look at that terrific ribbon and how proud you are to wear it. Great Job!!
