About the event
Each retriever is assessed based on their own merit (as opposed to competing in a field trial where a winner is chosen). There are three hunt test levels – Junior, Senior, Master - and titles can be earned at each level. Judges score dogs on their natural ability to mark and remember a fall, on their hunting style, perseverance, and courage. They are also scored on learned abilities such as steadiness, control, response, and delivery.
