Since 1993, we have
been holding AKC Licensed Hunt Tests for the general public to enjoy as either spectator's and participants in these events.
From April to August of each
year, our member's volunteer their time and skills to organize and manage 2 AKC Licensed Hunt Tests. As a non-profit charitable
organization, the income from hunt tests provides a major source of funding to our club and to be able to keep holding hunt tests in the
future.
The purpose of Hunting Tests for
dogs of the Pointing Breeds is to afford an opportunity for a person to demonstrate a dog's ability to perform in a manner consistent with
the demands of actual hunting conditions. Testing gauges the dog's natural hunting ability and training.
For scoring purposes, the test
is divided into four categories for Junior Hunter and six for Senior and Master Hunter. These categories provide a complete review of the
dog's total performance. They include 1. Hunting, 2. Bird Finding Ability, 3. Pointing, 4. Trainability, and in Senior and Master, 5.
Retrieving and 6. Honoring. All qualifying and
non-qualifying scores are based upon a the dog's abilities compared to only the written standards of each Hunt Test Category on a non-competitive
basis.
All tests are monitored by the
Pa Game Commission and the AKC.
