Here are some shots from yesterdays pheasant hunt.<br />
It was really lovely weather, although it was snowing for whole two days until the very morning we were heading to the fields.<br />
There was a lot of snow yesterday but not too cold.<br />
<br />
I was wondering how difficult it is for dog to pick up scent of game in a weather like this for example? Is there scent at all, or do they hunt on sight?<br />
<br />
I would love to hear from more experienced members, their thoughts.<br />
Thanks

In Hungary we have a collection of regulations and description of the tasks the dog has to perform at the various tests and trials. It is called "The Green Book" and contains everything from simple "ability tests" to the big autumn test for the various hunting breeds. Any idea if there is a similar international one in English language, detailing the various moments of the work? If yes, where can I find it?<br />
Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance. :-)

DSCh Deutscher Suchen Champion = German FieldTrial Champion<br />

Int.A.Ch. Internationaler ArbeitsChampion = International Working Champion<br />
--> 2 CACIT from the FCI in 2 different countries plus exterieur Very Good on international show.<br />
<br />
Trial rules are pretty strict. Passing birds etc. and good bye first price. Following game the same. Doing some steps after shooting...etc. etc.<br />
<br />
There is a link to the homepage of the pointer and Setter club, where working champs can be found.<br />

(I hope this works;-)))<br />
The Irish Setter Club has no list, but they did have several Champions von Royal in the 80ties and 90ties and ..vom Westmünsterland in the 90ties. Both pure moanruad-blood.<br />
