I was going thru the AKC web site today and Only found 1 count them 1 water test on the whole web site. And I noticed that the only wirehair club on the east coast doesn't even offer A water test during there hunt test's. And as luck would have it my bitch will be in season for the only water test this year. So I'll have 4 SH legs and 5 Master legs and still only have a JH dog. I'm just so happy I could just $#%&. I was wanting to breed her this summer but was really wanting to have her Master done. Oh well Mad

well, if the MAster and the breeding are both that important to you, there are some ways to promote the seasons of your girl early...
It may be a solution for you...

Did you talk to the secretary of the Palmetto Pointing Breed Club hunt test in South Carolina? From her email address I'm guessing she owns GWPs and may be a good contact to find a water test. Maybe they can add a water test to the hunt test they have scheduled right now for March 26 & 27. Never hurts to ask and if she does own GWPs this issue will hopefully come up for her dogs eventually too.

Well as per the rules only a gwp club or a weim club can have the test. I know the Darbys very well. They have the perfect grounds for a water test. We are wanting to start a GWP club but we all know this takes time.I would like to have her master before the breeding. They only way I know how bring a bitch in early is to put her up with a bitch all ready in. If there is another way please inform me.

There are at least 2 other methods I know of, both to be used under strict veterinary guidance. The first one, with no side affect consist of using an hormone used to stop the lactation on a female.
The second is an injection of ECP, which is used for both, bringing in the heat of a females (Farmers use it constantly for their cows), and for early abortion after a mismating. Although very rare, there is a risk of pyometra associated with this treatment.

I've always heard to mix some diet coke with water.. maybe put a tad of the yellow food coloring.. but the diet coke will make it less clear looking...
