Off to a good start
Jackson is my third gsp. My first 2 were my experiences training a versatile dog. They weren't competion dogs just good solid hunters. When I got Jackson he learned so fast I thought I had something special. I joined NAVHDA and studied the AKC hunt test and field trial rules. I want to see what he and I are capable of. Last month at 6 months old Jackson ran the Michigan NAVHDA chapters NA test. He scored a 112 prize 1. Last weekend I handled him in 2 AKC junior hunter tests. He passed with 4 nines saturday and 3 nines and a ten sunday. This weekend I handled him in the first field trial him or I have ever done. He took 3rd in the open puppy division. I know it wasn't first but it was our first time and he has been trained by me. I'm really proud of him and I think he has had a great start. I know know he has alot more to give if I can just bring it out, not too bad for 7 months and me training him

Re: Off to a good start
Good job. I couldn't win an open puppy to save my life. My dog never even placed in OP. So you may be hooked now?
Re: Off to a good start
Congrats Jager. Nice looking pup and it sounds like you're doing a great job training. Best of luck.
You could live without a dog, but it would not be worthwhile.

It is saturday and we are at the German Shorthaired Pointer Club of Indiana hunt test. Jackson passed today even with the wind gusting. If he passes tomorrow he earns his Junior Hunter.

Re: Off to a good start
This is a nice pup! I have to admit I thought you wee crazy to run an 8 month old in seniors, but I was very impressed. Congrats to you both.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. -Unknown
