I took my GSP to his first AKC hunt test this weekend. Overall we did pretty well and received passes both days. Hopefully we'll finish off his title in the next month.

I really enjoy watching this dog work. He's a power house when working and will sacrifice life and limb to do his job.

Congrats!

He's a good looking dog, I really like his size (45-50 lbs?).

Good luck on future hunt tests!

How old is the pup?

You're basically right on with the weight. He seems to hold around 47 lbs but will fluctuate up toward 50 lbs throughout the year.

His size is perfect for what I will use him for. Quick, agile, and great stamina.

Turned 15 months last week.

Good for ya'll. It is great to see the hard work pay off.
My little bitch and I received our 3rd Senior ribbon this weekend. It's always better driving home flying colors !

That is what we're starting to train for this week. The senior and our NAVHDA Utility test.

I also have a 9 week old pup I need to get ready for her NA and JH tests this fall.

Congrats! I ribboned my first dog in 1990......man thats a while ago. UKC Retrievers... That led to Four Hunting Retriever Champions, One AKC Master Hunter and three Senior Hunters. Man that was alot of fun....and a lot of driving!

Go get 'em man!

I'm the opposite of driving Mrs. Daisey. I'm the white guy that drives black kids ALL over TX (OK & AR ) chasing ribbons.
Not quite a dog Gypsy, but close.
Alot of good folks on the (outdoor/field) dog circuit. Hard working, camo wearing, gun owning Americans.
