AKC Advanced Judge Seminar

The Rainier Hunting Retriever Club hosted an AKC Advanced Retriever Hunting Test Seminar for Judges and Handlers on April 6 and 7, 2024. This 2-day seminar was held in Monroe Washington and focused on Test Design, Time Management and Judging of Performance. It provided an interesting opportunity for both judges and handlers to bridge the gap between the normal classroom seminar and actual hunt test situations. It satisfied the 4-year renewal requirement to maintain current AKC judge status.

Saturday was spent learning the finer points of judging.

On Sunday, participants focused on appropriate hunt test setups using live birds, dogs and handlers at all levels: Junior, Senior and Master.

Participants practiced setting up test scenarios.
