Daja on goose

Hi Brenda, I thought you may like a picture of breac with her first sea retrieve of a Goose. It was quite difficult as i had us hidden in a thick reed bed where breac could not mark the fall. The tide was making and wind was with the tide so when i dropped it 50 yards offshore it was quickly drifting away and Breac would not go on a blind retrieve, she would start off for a few yards in the direction i was sending her then swim back. I had to run and stumble along the shore line trying to get down wind (fell full length in the mud twice) as soon as Breac was down wind she stopped thinking what a good game it was trying to lick my face whilst sprawled in the mud and snapped her head in the direction of the Goose. A "get on" was all it then needed and she made a perfect retrieve. Well the Goose is now plucked dressed and in the freezer guarded by breac every minute, I hope this story can lift the gloom a little. Cheers Graham PS If you and larry fancy a trip to scotland this winter i would be happy to take Larry out on the foreshore.

German Hunting Dogs Association

there has been an increased interest from owners for training German bred dogs as hunters and trackers. It would now seem appropriate to consider the conception of a testing system which would accommodate this interest. This would be with the help and co-operation of The German Hunting Dog Club ( JGHV ) for establishing a protocol for performance testing to a set standard for our German Hunting Breeds. Further details soon.

Arany's Faust passes LMC Natural Ability Test

The Large Munsterlander Club ran a Natural Aptitude test at Kelso on Saturday 19^th June. The test looks for the natural working ability present in hunter pointer retriever (HPR) dogs when exposed to a variety of working conditions. The LM Club welcomes all breeds of HPRs to their tests so I went along with my 9 month German Longhaired Pointer, Arany’s Faust (Louis). The dogs are tested on; hunting, gun shyness, pointing, retrieving, biddability, tracking, and water work. Louis scored 32 points out of a maximum of 35. As an inexperienced handler I was delighted at all the positive feedback I received about Louis from the judges both before and after the test. His hunting was described as being very good and only required a little fine tuning. His swimming was described as being excellent along with the delivery of his retrieve. The tracking judge was extremely impressed at his strong drive and good control and thought he had excellent tracking potential. The tracking judge and one of the assistant hunting judges both said they’d be happy to take him home – I don’t think you can get more of a compliment than that!
Thanks to the LM Club for a well organised and enjoyable day.
At a separate event Tom Brechney, a much respected HPR trainer, described Louis as a stunning beast who moved well.
