I'll be home from Oklahoma sometime after the first week in October and looking for anyone in the North Texas area that has experience with NAVHDA that would like to get together and help work my dog. We picked him up from the trainer on Sept 1 and I got sent out of town so haven't had him on a bird since. So I want to let him hunt a little before the trial, plus I would like to get some experience and tips for handling him as it is my first bird dog and first hunt test ever. Would like to kinda do a mock NA test.

Let me know if anyone wants to meet up. I'll buy the birds and lunch.

Dang!! I wish you lived closer to me. I have a private bird hunting area. We could pick up a dozen birds and tune our dogs up.

These pictures were all taken from my pasture across the road;




I started walking some of the birds out after a few days. Here you go;




A little side note. My birds were not recalling all that well, so I used Cookie to point them while I netted them;

Nice pics. I am sure your dogs would make mine look like the amateur that he is.

Iliketohunt,
If I can get scheduled off work I need to take Dash to a retriever test that weekend instead so I doubt I will be entering him in the NAVHDA UT Prep this round, but depending on work I may still show up to help with the NAVHDA test on Sunday.

The Texas Chapter NAVHDA is supposed to be having a training day this weekend. It would be a good opportunity to see what the NA test and the club is about if your home from Oklahoma in time. Shoot me a pm if you need more details.

I will be sending my 7 month old Small Munsterlander through the NA test that same weekend. Would be good to get some training done and would be happy to have company. With that said, this is my first time around as well so I'm learning on the fly.

Bookem and Sniper John, it looks like I will be home from OK about the 7th or 8th. I will let y'all know and hopefully we can get together for some training.
Unfortunately I will miss the training day this weekend.

Are you running Blue in the UT Test on the 19th-20th? I have not attended the test so I may be up there for the Sunday to watch the handlers and the process.

I am not going have my girl back until December, so I am hope to test her in January. My plan is to work her on birds on the weekends until the test and during the week just polish the handling process.

Not the UT test yet. Just the NA. Let me know when you get her back and we'll try and get together.

How did the test go. Was going to go watch and support everyone but had to attend funeral in OKC. Hope everyone had a great event and got what they were hoping for from it. We will likely hit the spring UT test.

Wish you had made it out. Would have liked to meet you. Met a lot of good people. I posted about the test in the gun dog forum. Going to add some pics today.





Prize I perfect score!

I've always wanted to take my dog out to one of these. Only a year old and this is his second season. Looks like fun!
