Alvin Red and White makes the correct check (turn) first but does not claim the line Which is Done by Chips. Chips opens more consistently on the line Chips comes back for Second series but not Alvin,

and for a better field of what a field trial is like see below Gunther (mahogany) cleans Baker clock early baker get on the line first on the path but does not open. over runs the check (turn) but comes back and makes it first and into the brush but never claims the line by opening, Gunther comes back for second Series baker does not.

solo Hunting Performance Test which is basically a pass fail test where the dogs are judge on Searching, Use of Voice Determination and Line Ability plus gun Shyness test. The person I am talking to is Stan the Field Marshall not a Judge. Patch when tracking the rabbit on the first path did exactly what the rabbit did jump back into the brush then back out again, . He opens a couple of time after the first check, Loses the line then regains it in the brush pushes the rabbit back onto a path and loses the line again where the rabbit when back into the brush. I would have wanted him to open more,. but For these Judges he Opened ennough for a minimium passing score,
