Every year thousands of Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retriever, Flat Coated Retrievers and countless more breeds of dogs compete to earn JR, SR and Master Hunter titles under the AKC. What does it take to pass the test? In this podcast I sit down with Larry Saavedra, a hunt test judge for more than 15 years and pick his brain. Our Yellow Labrador Duane O Mator just passed his Jr Hunter titled and gained one of his (4) passing legs under Larry. Janet handled him for. 3 of the legs and I did one. Janet did a spectacular job!
