Larsen ran the table with Senior Hunter qualifying scores on Saturday and Sunday at the WSSCA Hunting Test at Circle W Hunting Preserve in Heflin, Alabama. These were his second and third legs in his quest for a Senior Hunter title. He has one more to go and then can move up as a Master candidate.
Other training partners:
Mary T's Caden, a year-and-a half old puppy, turned in a polished performance for his first Junior Hunter leg. His housemate Adara earned a Junior Hunter leg to her repertoire of JH ribbons. Caden and Adara are Welsh Springer Spaniels.
Cathy V was excited beyond words that her boy Humphrey got his third Master Hunter leg on Sunday. According to eye-witnesses, Humphrey was perfect on phases. Humphrey is a Clumber spaniel. Cathy's Zelda got a Q on Saturday.
Amy T. also pulled a couple of aces with Emma, her Clumber, earning her first and second Senior Hunter legs.
Venee G.'s Murphy got a pair of Senior legs. Murphy is a Cocker Spaniel.
It was a long weekend, with training day on Friday and tests on Saturday and Sunday. There were the normal twists and turns that make a Hunt Test interesting, with the judges deciding to change the Senior field's hunt-dead test in mid-stream after a long string of failures. On Saturday, 13 dogs of 27 posted qualifying scores, and on Sunday it was 11 of 27. The standards were high. Our training group earned 10 of the 24 Q-scores over the weekend.
