By Tim Otto Flemington, New Jersey ON THE Cover Photo By Jay Hoth RIGHT TRACK Handling In The Field

At the beginning of my field sequence the judges told me to handle my dog like I normally would, but then during the test sometimes they asked Q: me to call my dog around (when I normally wouldn’t) and other times asked me not to call him (when I normally would). What gives? Why was I asked not to give my dog a “whoa” command when he was clearly “getting birdy?” I didn’t want him to go in and catch the bird. Several other handlers told me that I would be penalized for calling my dog during the NA test. Is that true? Why might the judges ask you to call your dog around? There are many reasons why, but, in my experience, one of the most common reasons is to get your dog out of potential trouble. For example, Iate in the day, the previously flushed but unshot birds Knowing when you should give your dog com- often congregate in woods adjacent to the field where you’re mands in the field during testing can be con- testing; if judges see your dog going into an area they know is fusing.

Remember, the judges are truly there to help you. something like this: “Handle your dog as you Another reason judges may ask you to call your dog is to get it normally would during training or hunting…” back into the relevant area. As described in the Search portion And this is exactly what you should do. Often, of the NAVHDA: Aims, Program, Test Rules booklet, “the dog though, at some point one of the judges may ask should conduct its search at a practical distance from the gun” you to call your dog around when you might not and “… the uncontrolled dog running the far horizons is of lit- have otherwise. tle use to the on-foot hunter.” If the judges sense that your dog

Perhaps they want to see a little more independence case of the UPT or UT test, obedient (obedience is not scored and willingness to search. Maybe you were either knowingly or in the NA test). Handlers and their dogs should display a sense unknowingly “whoa-ing” your dog when you see it getting birdy. of teamwork, particularly in the UPT and UT tests; a dog that If this happens, judges will almost certainly ask you not to do that won’t heed a handler’s call to come around will probably not be on subsequent bird contacts, because a dog on “whoa” is not point- getting maximum scores in cooperation or obedience.

Hi,

I just thought I would send some photos from our trip to northeast Montana for pheasants and Sharp-tailed grouse. We were hunting over a variety of versatile hunting dogs: Braque du Bourbonnais, German shorthaired pointers and a German wirehaired pointer.

We learned about NAVHDA when we got our first Bourbonnais (the fawn in the photo). I love that NAVHDA’s focus is on testing to hunt and how the NAVHDA tests closely mirror hunting.

I just wanted to share some of our fun... made possible through training and testing with our local NAVHDA chapters.

Happy Hunting!!!

November 2017 Versatile Hunting Dog • www.navhda.org 13 Drake’s

By Justin Mann Big DayMarseilles, Illinois

y six-year-old son Drake has helped me with dog training for the last few Myears. He always asks me how much fun I’ve had testing over the weekend. Drake has been to tests with me and has just sat in the parking lot watching the field to see how our dogs do. Every time I come back he says, “Wow Dad, that looked good!”—seemingly wondering what it’s like out there with all the people and a couple dogs. This past spring I entered Drake and his new- est puppy Jamo in Northern Illinois Natural Ability Test set for September 23. Drake was beyond himself—excited to finally get out in the field and see what it’s like with real judges. As time went by, I bet he told every other person he came across that he was running dogs in the fall! He prepared for this test for weeks leading up to it...on how to release the dog on a track, how to flush a bird, how to throw the bumper in the water, etc. The night before the test, Drake asked me questions like, “Dad, are the judges friendly?” and, “Dad, what if I make a mistake?” I assured him that, no matter the outcome, it would be fun.

14 Versatile Hunting Dog • www.navhda.org November 2017 As the morning of the test came, Drake was filled with anxiety and scared to meet the judges. Upon being called to the field, a Judge by the name of Bob Fee came to Drake, got down on one knee, and said to him, “Boy, are we going to have fun today!” Bob asked my son if he has ever done this before, and Drake said, “Only in practice.” I could see confidence in Drake’s eyes immediately, and, before I knew it, Bob was showing Drake how to hold the dog’s collar before releasing. I followed along as Drake and Bob talked about everything from the moon and stars, to how many dogs they each have. I can’t say enough about how thankful I am that Bob was there that day to take my son on his first hunt test run. Drake talked about hunting with Mr. Fee almost the whole way home. I’m sure Drake Mann will never forget that day in the field that he finally got to meet the judges. Bob took the nerves that Drake had for meeting a judge and turned it into enough confidence that Drake was the best handler there that day! Watching Drake and Bob walk through the field was more fun than any score could have ranked it. Drake did handle his GSP Jamo to a 110 point, Prize I—but he still isn’t sure what that means! He does know, though, that judges are friendly, and tests are just like hunting, except you don’t shoot the bird! I have included photos from that memorable day in the field with Mr. Bob Fee, a NAVHDA Judge from New Hampshire. I think I’ve told Bob 10 times how thankful I am for that experience he gave my son, but I think he deserves one more.

Routine Health Screenings Surprisingly, only 14% of senior pets undergo regular veterinarian recommended health screenings.1 Several reasons exist for annual or semiannual well-pet veterinary checkups. This might seem too frequent, but remember that if your dog sees a veterinarian once a year, that is similar to your going to the doctor once every seven years. In most cases, semiannual visits are ideal. It is important that your pet has “baseline” lab tests for future comparison and to detect minor changes that might already be present. Dogs that appear healthy can have abnormalities in their urine and blood that, if left undetected, can lead to serious disease. Early detection allows for intervention before your pet exhibits symptoms and while conditions can be improved. Your veterinarian should conduct a thorough physical exam that includes evaluations of the heart, skin, lymph nodes, teeth and oral cavity, central nervous system, abdominal organs, muscles and bones. In addition, your veterinarian should examine for a common cancer (anal gland adenocarcinoma). A thorough history and physical exam, in combination with routine wellness testing, will help you and your veterinarian formulate a plan to keep your hunting partner in peak physical condition. Dental Care Caring for your dog’s mouth is an important part of keeping your hunting dog healthy. Most senior pets have some dental disease.
