Paisley found and pointed two birds today at the hunt test. That's great, right? Well... not really... I figured the judge would have passed her (they usually do if the dog even finds one at a Junior level), but he pulled me aside after her run and said she's got a wonderful nose and a beautiful point but she's not a strong hunter. She checks for me to lead her where to go (fair enough... she does do that), so he couldn't give her a passing score. So oh well. She had a great time and had fun being a puppy.... she's got plenty of years of hunting in her.... so all in all... this weekend ended up being a really expensive training session for real. We'll work on getting her more "independent"... heck, all we have to do is run her with Maverick a few times. haha.... Next hunt test is in January and we've got some work to do!

Sorry to hear you didn't get a "Q" but I am more happy to hear you followed the thoughts of "When you lose... don't loose the message".
She has plenty of time to get those titles as young as she is!!
