4th January Just fantastic news to share !!! Ginger participated in 2007 at the course of practical hunting. This course is spread over 2 years. Young dogs need to do first year. This is an official course of St. Hubertus association Flanders, a hunters organisation. This first year, 22 dogs started the course, open to all breeds of gundogs. Only 7 got a diploma at the end, not succeeded or just didn't had the time to follow the course. So these are Ginger's result : 1st place with max. points: 130/130 !! obedience: 5/5 tracking 75/250m with hare: 15/15 steuberen (water) on command: 5/5 steuberen duck: 5/5 retreive duck on top of water: 5/5 general nosework: 10/10 searching the field/rough vegitation: 10/10 pointing, minimum 15 seconds: 15/15 retreive pheasant: 5/5 retreive duck: 5/5 retreive hare: 5/5 command "go" in the woods: 5/5 command "over" deep water: 10/10 command "go" open field: 5/5 stay on shot at the other side of water: 10/10 general workingmethod handler: 5/5 stay in car after a shot without handler nearby: 10/10 Worthed to say, that the second dog was also a weimaraner, actually Ch.

Cheryl, Indeed, it's not that simpel, staying in the car, but you see, there is lots of room and time to excersise this. It's real funny (you can imagen) how it's like in the first lessons... Shot, all dogs out of the car, running, chasing, looking for game... Ohh, there goes another one, where is mine ;D Lots of frustrations of many people And like you say, it's one of the hardest things to do, especially because most of the dogs are not used in (hunting) contests, but in practical hunting, so never got any obedience before... A real disaster. And... as you probably thought, it's always the first part of the lesson, so you arrive, car open, cages open, and the dogs have to stay, result ... lots of frustrated dogs (and owners) ;D
