Get You and Your Dog Ready for Testing
Planning on testing your Cesky Fousek? The CFNA has a whole set of videos on YouTube designed to better prepare you for each discipline in the Natural Ability and Intermediate Hunting Dog Tests. Just go to our YouTube Channel to see what’s available.
Here are some specific examples filmed at actual tests and training/exposure days
Affinity for water: (Natural Ability)
Searching
(Note: this video is of an Intermediate Hunting Dog Test, but the basic elements of this discipline are the same as at the Natural Ability level. The search is shorter and performance expectations are not as rigorous at the NAT level.)
Track of Live Bird
Example of a training day first exposure to tracking
How to release dog on the track. Good example of IHDT
This Natural Ability Dog does an acceptable track. At the NAT level, the dog is not required to retrieve to hand.
Pointing
This video is of Intermediate Hunting Dog Test. In the first attempt at pointing, the dog catches a bird and retrieves it to hand. Natural Ability dogs are not required to retrieve.
Retrieve of dragged game
This discipline is only used at the IHDT, not the Natural Ability Test.
