Last weekend I had the opportunity to run a couple pups in the NAVHDA Natural Ability test.
Goose, a 10 month old Small Munsterlander finished with a 104 Prize 2.
Charlie, a 9 month old GSP finished with a 110 Prize 1.
Thanks to the owners for entrusting me with the training and testing of the pups! The pups made everyone proud.
And thanks to the midwest.tristate.navhda for putting on a wonderful weekend of tests. The grounds were great, the weather was phenomenal and volunteers were greatly appreciated!
Lastly, thanks to the navhdainternational judges for their time and commitment.
