Leppävirta NOME-Bhunt test

Leppävirran koe oli päiväkoe, jossa kaikkien osallistujien tuli ilmoittautua samaan aikaan. Meidän epäonneksemme Lukalle oli onnetar arponut päivän viimeisen suoritusvuoron, joten työintoinen koira istui kaikkien muiden suoritusten ajan autossa odottamassa omaa vuoroaan. Ja kuten olettaa saattoi, Luka oli oman vuoronsa tultua melkoisen väsynyt.

Koe alkoi ohjauksella viistosti rannasta poispäin, jonka jälkeen oli kakkosmarkkeeraus veteen ja rannan kaislikkoon. Markeerauksen jälkeen oli pääosin kosteassa kaislikossa oleva hakuruutu, joka osoittautui Lukalle energiatasoon nähden aivan liian raskaaksi.

Muuten hyvin mennyt koe, mutta väsymys painoi ja hakutyö oli siksi vähän tehotonta ja tuloksena jälleen ALO2. Lukan koepöytäkirja

The Leppävirta test was held during a weekday and unlike the usual procedure all dogs had to register at the same time. As fate would have it, Luka was unlucky enough to get the last spot so we had an extremely enthusiastic dog sitting in the car waiting for his turn while every other dog had theirs. And as you can imagine, Luka was quite tired when his turn finally did come.

The test started with a guided retrieve angled away from the shoreline after which their was a double mark into the water and shoreline rushes. After the marks there was the free search that was mainly in the fairly moist and heavy shoreline which was Luka’s downfall.

Otherwise the test went well, but Luka was tired and thus his free search suffered and he got another second prize in beginners class.Luka’s evaluation
