An introduction to Fieldwork for young gundogs  -  the Grade One Field Test is for young dogs who have just begun their training.

This straightforward HPR test is designed to allow the handler to demonstrate that their dog has some natural ability and that basic training has been correctly established.  The test consists of three parts.
 
       

FIND OUT ABOUT
 

OBEDIENCE 

  • HEEL: The dog walks  to heel on the lead, for 20 yards from the 'line' to the 'sit marker'

  • SIT & STAY: The dog must sit on command at the sit marker.  The handler removes the dog's lead and returns to the 'line' without him.  The dog remains seated until recalled after a 30 second stay.

  • RECALL: The handler standing on the line,  recalls the dog from the sit  marker (20 yards)

 

HUNTING APTITUDE 

  • CONFIDENT EXPLORATION:  The dog demonstrates a willingness to run and explore away from his handler

    •

 

SIMPLE RETRIEVES 

  • TWO MARKED RETRIEVES:  The dog retrieves each dummy directly to the handler.  The first is at 15 yards, the second is at 20 yards.  Retrieves are thrown by an assistant to fall in clear view of the dog.
