Hello all, I would like to get started with some hunt tests for my GSP and dont know where to start, I live in the South Central PA area.

Thanks,
George

How old is your dog and what level of training has it had?

Well, I''m no expert as I don't participate in the hunt tests, I would say a good place to start is joining your local NAVHDA group. They do a lot of training for these tests.

Or find a NSTRA test.

When i got him at 9 month he had been doing training for field trials and then i sent him away this past summer for 2 months for additional training so he does pretty good. I have taken him our a good many times but around my area we dont have many birds stick around, and yes he turned 2 at the end of September.
