Job title: Bye Dog, Test Dog Double Mark, Test Dog Blind, Retrieving Dog at Honor Report to: Handler who reports to the Field Marshal and Judges Big help having big fun! Job Overview: Dogs must perform bracemate or retrieving tasks at specific Invita- tional sites. Bye dogs may either be assigned for use in odd numbers of running dogs or in special circumstances. They may also be needed in an on-call basis to replace a testing dog in the field in situations such as the impossibility of backing or the frequency of amorous overload. Test and pick-up dogs will retrieve ducks as needed to adjust equipment such as wingers possessed by the devil, or to clean up after retrieves abandoned by dogs whose owners will not be serving them steak that night. Retrieving dogs at the Honor will complete their retrieves on command without tempting, parading, or otherwise insulting the honoring dog. Qualifications: •Bye dogs must be previously named Versatile Champions. •Water test and retrieving dogs may be Utility prized dogs although previously named VCs are preferable. •One bye dog on Sunday must be female… and not in season. •All volunteer dogs must be steady and obedient, and appreciate the opportunity to display their talents and not be stuck in the truck all day.

10 Versatile Hunting Dog • www.navhda.org December 2019 December 2019 Versatile Hunting Dog • www.navhda.org 11 With little applause, Invitational volunteer dogs are just as important to the efficient running of the test as the human volunteers. Chosen via application to the Invitational Vol- unteer Coordinator, water and field dogs’ jobs are more complicated than they appear. For example, the reason a test dog makes the first swim at the Blind Retrieve is to lay scent across the water. Since all the dogs after the first one will likely have fresh scent on the surface from a previous retrieve, it’s only fair for the first testing dog to have the same benefit. (Although it could happen, it’s best that first retrieve doesn’t take any side tours or unintentional tacks.)

Another example would be the job of the retrieving dog at the Honor. How many handlers have commented that they were so fo- cused at the Honor they can’t re- member what the retrieving dog looked like? That’s because it did its job perfectly without calling any attention to itself. And because its handler knew what to do Above all, volunteer dogs and their handlers love their jobs. Jeff as well. Tim Clark, whose VC Tell Rucker and his VC Gibbs were stationed at the Double Mark worked as an Honor retrieving on Saturday this year. Asked what he likes about volunteering dog this year, described how he his dog to work at the test, Jeff replied, “First and foremost I would give Tell a tap on his ecol- enjoy volunteering at the Invitational.

s a photographer of hunting dogs—espe- cially versatile hunting dogs—I regularly see Aand photograph many of the most popular pointing breeds. I love it. However, it is always a special treat to see and photograph breeds which are more obscure. At the 2019 NAVHDA Invita- tional I was very excited to walk with several of the rare breeds and a Small Munsterlander, which, while not really rare, still is fairly uncommon. While there are obvious and sometimes marked physical differences between most of the thirty breeds recognized by our organization, I think that they are more alike than not. Often, a yearling male Braque d’Auvergne, Juliette De La Ruse GSP, Wirehair, or Vizsla have a similar feel and Des Bois “Maya,” was another example of manner of interacting that transcends their body a dog with a nose and a burning desire to shape and coat style.

I enjoyed watching his easy loping hunting style and regal stance on honor in the field. He certainly is connected to Emery.

Small Munsterlander, Fuglejaeger Dixon “Jax,” was another example of a dog that lives to hunt as a partner with his owner, Nathan Freshour. On one occasion a chukar was shot and traveled long into what I believe were Russian Olive trees. His find and return of that bird was uncanny.
