Braque de Weimar

Kenzie est partie vivre aux USA et est devenue Américaine



Anne, la propriétaire de Kenzie (soeur de Kiss et Kasaï) m'a réservé une méga surprise.
Elle ne m'avait rien dit mais a inscrit Kenzie au Navdha Natural Ability Test,
l'équivalent de notre TAN mais en plus poussé puisqu'il y a différentes épreuves

Kenzie a obtenu un 1er Prix avec le score maximum de 112 sur 112
au Navdha Natural Ability Test
le jour de ses 7 mois, le 11 septembre 2011

voici son courrier :

Hi Eleonore,

Well I am really a proud owner now. Today, on her seven month birthday, Kenzie earned a Prize 1 and the maximum score of 112 points on her NAVHDA Natural Ability Test. Here is a little bit more about the test:

Organization and Scope
The Natural Ability Test is organized into four main segments, or phases, as follows:
1) Field Phase - The dog is hunted in cover where the presence of game has been assured by the releasing of game birds.
2) Tracking Phase - The dog is given an opportunity to track a flightless running pheasant or chukar.
3) Water Phase - The dog is tested for its willingness to swim.
4) Judgment of Physical Characteristics.

No game is shot, and no retrieves are required during the Natural Ability Test. There is no set sequence for conducting the four general phases. It is desirable, though not necessary, to test the young dog on tracking after it completes the field test because usually by then the dog has settled down and is better able to concentrate. Also, it is desirable to evaluate the coat immediately after the dog completes the water test.

Each dog is hunted for a minimum of 20 minutes and is scored on:
oUse of Nose
oSearch
oPointing
Tracking
Water Entry
oDesire
oCooperation
oGun Shyness

Great dog! Thanks so much again for sending her. I love her!

Anne

Un tout grand Bravo à Anne et Kenzie pour ce fabuleux résultat
On est trop fiers de vous 2.
