Tailypo had her first NAVHDA Natural Ability test yesterday. We got 108 out of 112 points. We lost points in tracking that knocked us out of a Prize 1.

We tested at the Foothills NAVHDA chapter in Harmony, NC. It was a great location and was very well run, especially considering it was the club's first test ever.

I can't begin to express the pride I felt when my 10 month old puppy locked up on point in a new field in front of crowd of strangers and held steady while the bird flushed.

Or the feeling of helplessness during the tracking test when she obviously lost the track and desperately cast around trying to pick it back up and couldn't.

I'm happy with her progress. One more point would have given us the Prize 1 but I'm happy with our score and her performance.
