HUNT TESTS OFFERED
Working Test
A working Spaniel must show a desire to hunt in an interesting and enthusiastic manner and demonstrate an ability to retrieve.
Dogs should show no fear of ground and type of cover, respond reasonably well to whistle, verbal and hand commands and maintain a reasonable working distance from their handler.
The working Spaniel must find, flush and retrieve two (2) birds on land. Steadiness is not required. Furthermore, it must retrieve one (1) bird from water by swimming a minimum distance of 20 metres and a
maximum of 40 metres. The dog should deliver the birds within a one (1) metre radius from the handler. At the water the dog can be restrained by a


leash and sent only at the judge’s direction. Dogs which are gun-shy or show no interest or ability to hunt are unacceptable and should be disqualified.
Junior Hunt Test
A junior hunting Spaniel must show all the attributes of a working Spaniel. In addition, the dog must show boldness to all types of cover encountered a definite quartering pattern and an intense desire to hunt within gun range.
The junior hunting Spaniel must find, flush and retrieve two (2) birds. Steadiness to wing and shot is not required, however the dog must not chase uncontrollably. The dog must retrieve one (1) bird from water in a crosswind by swimming a distance of 25 metres and a maximum of 50 metres. All birds must be delivered to hand. The dog must be line steady at the water and wait to be sent at the judge’s direction.
Senior Hunt Test
A senior hunting Spaniel must clearly show all the attributes of a junior hunting Spaniel. At this level, the dog must show a very polished quartering pattern that covers the ground in an intense and independent fashion. The dog must be steady to wing and shot and be line steady. The dog must show that it is using the wind to locate the birds. The dog must flush without encouragement.
The senior hunting Spaniel must find and flush three (3) birds and retrieve a minimum of two (2) birds on land. It must also be capable of retrieving one (1) bird from water in a downwind or crosswind by swimming a distance of 50 metres and a maximum of 75 metres.
It must complete two (2) single blind retrieves in a downwind or crosswind; one (1) on land at a minimum of 50 metres and a maximum of 75 metres, and one (1) from water by swimming a minimum distance of 30 metres and a maximum distance of 50 metres.
The dog must be sent only at the judge’s direction and all birds must be delivered to hand.


Master Hunt Test
A master hunting Spaniel must not only show all the positive attributes of a senior hunting Spaniel but be capable of hunting adjacent to another dog (bracework) and honouring its bracemate when required to do so (i.e., steadiness to wing and shot and during its bracemate’s retrieve).
The dog must show intelligent use of wind, show the ability to track, be prepared to handle all types of cover and terrain, and be under complete control at all times. Interfering with its bracemate and hunting out of control are faults worthy of disqualification.
In the interests of safety, a centreline must be indicated, as terrain dictates.
The master hunting Spaniel must find and flush three (3) birds with at least two (2) retrieves. All shot birds must be retrieved. It must also be
able to retrieve one (1) bird from water in a downwind or crosswind by swimming a distance of 50 metres and a maximum distance of 75 metres.
The dog must complete a downwind blind land retrieve at a minimum distance of 75 metres and a maximum distance of 100 plus a downwind blind water retrieve by swimming a minimum distance of 35 metres and a maximum distance of 50 metres.
In addition, the dog must complete a double retrieve. It must be seated (hupped) approximately 10 metres from the water’s edge. A shot is fired, and the first bird is thrown in cover on land at a minimum distance of 50 metres and a maximum distance of 75 metres. Another shot is fired, and the second bird is thrown into the water at a minimum distance of 35 metres and a maximum distance of 50 metres. A minimum of five (5) decoys, anchored separately, should be set on the water in proximity of the line to be followed. At the judge’s direction the dog is sent. The handler shall decide which retrieve is to be completed first. All retrieves must be completed and delivered to hand.
Water Test
The water test will be conducted in a manner that the bird will be thrown from shore or from a boat.
