This weekend marked the beginning of Ace"s hunt test career. At 8 months old he was the young dog at the event in JH division.....
Being new to this I had no expectations other than expecting Ace to pass..... so going into Saturday, I had no idea what to expect. The first land series was a breeze for Ace.... only 2 dogs didn't pass...
We for to the water section of the day and things looked good and not to difficult.... until I watched dog after dog fail the water series.... I never thought I would be nervous about running my dog.... well i was wrong, my stomach was in knots.....
Ace came up and hammered the first retrieve.... second retrieve was the hard one.... he struggled a bit but he got it.... a sigh of relief was all I had in me....

Sunday was a different story..... the second land set failed the first dog.... and a couple others. But ace rocked it.... the water series was no issue and ace cruised through it.....
So I will continue to update this thread as he progresses..... hope you will all follow and enjoy
