Jam & Savi with their qualifying ribbons
We had a great time today at the Delaware Valley Weimaraner Club (DVWC) WCA Ratings tests visiting with friends and seeing many talented Weimaraners. The DVWC and Garden State Weimaraner Club's put on a double ratings test at Assunpink Wildlife Management Area, with morning and afternoon tests with a delicious potluck lunch in between.
We are proud to announce that both Jam and Savi qualified and have new titles! Jam ran in the Shooting Dog (SD) rating, which is similar to the AKC Senior Hunter test but not as stringent, and had a terrific run that would have been a pass in a regular AKC Hunt test. She was braced with her half brother, a Parker son, who already has his Senior Hunter title, and they ran very well together. Jam had a nice honor in the backcourse. In the birdfield, Jam used the wind and pointed the Chukkar on scent from at least ten feet away. She held her point while I located the bird and was steady to shot and then retrieved the bird to me.
Jam is now CH Grayhart's Purple Haze,CD,JH,OA,OAJ,SD,VX!
Savi was entered in the Novice Retrieving Dog (NRD) rating test. This test includes both a land and water retrieve. Savi had awesome retrieves to hand on and and in the water. Friends commented that she has a Master Hunter retrieve!
Savi is now Grayhart's Shear Genius,JH,NSD,NRD,CGC! |
Those retrieves were AWESOME! She was a Weim on a mission: find. the bird. No meandering, just out and right back in. And Duck Soup? Impeccable! She is a retrieving machine!
