Powder 1 who are you. I know you say you ran 6 dogs last year at Shoreline. But unless your a pro I know of no amat who ran 6 dogs. I also don't understand your orig post. Hunt test was originally designed for the amat hunter who didn't have the time or money to run field trials. I would like to see more amat entered in hunt tests and maybe the pros aiding in training dog and handler to run.
