any water tests coming up???

I just received an email from someone wondering if we will be holding a water test in June 2007, he'd like to finish his dog as a master hunter. We (the TCGWPC) will but, I'm wondering if the Wisconsin or Illinois club will be holding one sooner for this gentleman? Please respond here if either club has one coming up before June 2007. I've told him to watch this site for any responses.

Thanks,

If I were the guy, I would look at the UKC/HRC retriever tests and dates. He will need 4 passes at the started level to earn his SHR. 2 single water marks, no handling, and 2 single upland marks, no handling, for each test. It will show much more credibility than one 20 yard water retrieve for a water test title.

Hello, I am the guy looking for the test. At this point I have no time to do the HRC tests. The dog is under 2 years old and has completed the NAVHDA Utility test with a prize 1 last year. We will be attending the NAVHDA invetational this fall in Ohio. I just need to get a AKC water test out of the way for the MH. I realize that the water portion of AKC is a joke, however it is still a requirement.

Thanks for your help. Chris & Heidlwolf Benelli AKA "Aspen"
