I was part of the 'Retrievers and Water Spaniels' class. I had to be steady by my handler whilst being shot over until commanded to search for dead or wounded game from land or water and retriever gently to hand. As always we dogs are unpredictable! The faults for this class are: Major Failing to find dead or wounded game Unsteadiness to heel Eye wipe Disturbing ground Slack work Noisy handling whilst retrieving Elimination Hard mouth Whining or barking Running in or chasing Out of control Failing to enter water Changing game whilst retrieving Poor control |
Practising to retrieve game: using a dummy |
The real thing: retrieving a bird |
