Started Title

[lovelylab]

Have 14 month old male lab coming home from trainer----George Henry , trainer with Timber Creek Retrievers-----He is completely force fetched------What does the dog have to know/do to get his started title? Upcoming hunt test to enter him in?

Call George and ask if the dog is ready. He won't steer you wrong.

Started test, 2 single marks on land no more then 75 yds , 2 singe water marks no more than 60 yds. Does not need to deliver to hand but to the imediate area. But deliver to hand is better.
You need to pass 4 different days, all 4 marks to earn the SHR title. But only 10 points go toward you next level.
Hope this helps.

What Fishduck said. George and Kristian are very experienced and will be straight with you.

Find a training group in your area to help you keep your pup tuned up and growing - this board is an excellent place to make those contacts, you won't find better people anywhere.
