Tomorrow I will go into more detail of what a dog might see during each series. Notice the rules say “there shall be at least at least three series”, the judges can elect to have the dogs run more than three series, but this does not happen very often. The dog should not drop the bird it is retrieving in order to pick up the diversion bird. Diversion birds must be presented in front of the dog while it is returning with a bird. This tests steadiness.Ī diversion shot is sometimes fired as a dog is returning with a mark to signal a blind. A walk-up is where the dog walks at heel next to its handler and a bird is thrown in a surprise situation from a distance of 35-45 yards away in a surprise situation. The dog is directed to the bird by their handler using whistles and arm signals. Blinds are where the dogs does not watch the fall and does not know where the birds have been placed. Marks are where the dogs watch the birds thrown in a field or pond. Diversion birds and/or diversion shots such as described in Chapter 3, Section 24, must be used at least once.”

At least one of the series shall include a walk-up. “Dogs shall be tested in a minimum of five hunting situations as follows: multiple land marks, multiple water marks, multiple marks on water and land, a land blind and a water blind (at least one that shall be a double blind in any combination). These are the basics required for Master level tests according to the Rules and Regulations: If you want to run a test, then you had better be right at your computer and enter the moment it opens. When we first started running tests, the Master tests rarely filled so you could decide and enter a test just before it closed. As a result, it can be difficult to even get a spot. Many times this is due to limited club resources such as land available for testing or workers to work the test, (remember the club must also offer Junior and Senior tests along with Master tests).

Most clubs limit Master entries (usually to 60, 90, or 120 entries).

In Michigan this year, there were only 3 tests offered so most certainly Freighter will have to travel for some tests. As I said, each test takes an entire weekend so opportunities are limited. One of the difficulties with testing toward the Master Hunter title is finding tests to enter. In order to earn a title, a dog must pass 6 tests, (5 if the dog has its Senior Hunter Title). Each Master Hunter test has three series (more about those later), and is held over the course of two days.

The Retriever Master Hunter title is not one of those. There are some titles that a dog can earn over the course of a day, or even after passing just one test. Master level tests are quite a bit different from Junior and Senior level tests so I thought I would write a short series to explain what is involved. Freighter is entered in his first Master Hunter test this weekend.
