NOU1

tuom. Vesa Turunen

Se oli sitten siinä ja seuraavat haasteet on alokasluokassa :)


Oodi qualified in the field with drive and style today at Tornio. Now she is allowed to compete in B-trials beginners class.

Finnish retriever ability test consists four parts: social behavior, water work, free search and tracking. The test always begins with situtation where all the dogs are in group and judge can evaluate the social behavior of dogs. Oodi was friendly towards people and other dogs.

Second part is water work and free search. First task is to retrieve two birds (seagulls) from water, one is thrown from land (distance few meters of swimming water) and the other from a boat (distance up to 25-30 meters). Gun shot in connection with the second throw. Both of the birds are needed to retrieve to complete succesfully water work and dog can continue to next task. Oodi rushed in to water and retrieve both of the birds with good drive straight to me.

In free search dog must independently search for and retrieve crows. Five crows are hidden in the woods (the furthest distance is ~50 meters or a bit more) and sixth of them is thrown so the dog can see the throw, gunshot in connection with the throw. How the dog works is contributed on how many crows dog needs to find. Usually the ammount is 4-6. Oodi did speedy search and found four crows in a short time and it was enough to complete this part.

Dogs who have succeeded in water work and free seach, can perform the last task, tracking. The track (80 meters) is made with a rabbit and it is done in terrain where visual contact between the dog and the handler is disconnected. Dog needs to complete this task independently and retrieve the rabbit. It is not necessary the dog to follow closely on the track. It can perform this task by search, but it needs to show enough self-confident and initiative to find the rabbit on its own. Oodi tracked the rabbit speedily :)

Judge's overall impression of Oodi: Dog who completes all the tasks and shows excellent capacity.
