Field trial eller hunt test?
Som ni kanske minns tilldelades jag GRK's ungdomsresestipendium i ar och planen har hela tiden varit att anvanda det for att besoka ett amerikanskt jaktprov. Dock har tiden i USA rusar forbi med massa roliga aktiviteter hela tiden, sa det har inte lyckats bli av. Nu ar det dock dags. I helgen gar det namligen field trials av stapeln i San Fransisco omradet och hunt tests i Chino.
Startlistor finns redan publicerade online och labradorerna verkar dominera aven har, men bade pa trailsen och pa hunting testen ar flera golden anmalda. Pa hunting testen fanns aven tollare, flattar och cheasa i startlistorna, dock ej pa field trialsen dar det bara ar golden och labbar.
Ett field trial forstar jag mer ar som just ett field trial, forutom att det ar simulerad jakt (ej varmvilt), medan hunting testen ar mer som jaktprov. Den har forklaringen hittade jag pa internet:
Field trials differ from hunt tests in that they are competitive. There may be 60—100 dogs competing in one stake and the judges need to determine placements—1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th, plus a Reserve JAM (basically 5th place) and usually multiple JAMs. A JAM is usually given to dogs who complete the entire stake, but didn’t do quite well enough for a placement.
Because of the need to determine the “best” dogs, the trials have become rather stylized. Multiple retrieves of 400-600 YARDS each are not uncommon. Throwers wear white to be seen and dogs are judged on how straight they run to the birds and how quickly they respond to their handler’s directions. The scenarios generally have little to do with hunting and more to do with control over great distances.
In contrast, hunt tests are supposed to simulate a real hunt. Handlers, judges and workers generally were hunting attire. Retrieves are usually within 100 yards. Duck calls, decoys, and blinds are often used.
The biggest difference though between field trials and hunt tests is that hunt tests are not competitive. Any dog who does the required work will receive a pass toward a title. In field trials only the dogs who place receive points toward their title.
