CRF, the quality of these videos is excellent. Big thanks from a hopefully first time Hunt Tester!

@CLEANRUNFILMS here I am back, 8 months after my comment above, fresh out of my and my dog's first hunt test ever and we walked away with 2 Started passes. Thank you so much for this video (and all your videos) that have given me so much info on what to expect at my first test. Cheers!

Our professional training programs in the latter days involve primarily family companion/protection, detection, and branching into stockdog work as working dogs are a calling in support to our stockmen in the rural community we serve. However, in 1989, my senior year of HS, I had offers as an assistant from both D.L. Walters and Jane Laman here in Kansas. I went with Jane, and enjoyed baptism into the glorious world of the retriever field trial circuit. All this to say, I have experience in the retriever sports. And my early experience allowed a guided introduction into the sport, which was such a blessing for an 18 y/o green wing. So many don’t get such helps. And for folks young and old, who desire to get into tests and trials with their own dogs, there can be a sense of gnosticism or mysticism that can be a daunting detractor for the uninitiated. My point? THIS CHANNEL AND ITS MANNER OF WRITING AND PRODUCTION IS DEMYSTIFYING AGAINST A NEW HANDLER’S IGNORANCE OF THE ETHOS AND RULES!!! Y’all are doing a good work! So helpful!!! God bless your work!
