Junior Hunter Title for Xupe

Biff and Xupe got it done this weekend.  Xupe earned his AKC Jr. Hunter title, all four legs of it, in just two days.  The weather was hotter than is typical for late September but that didn’t slow him down.  It was a two-day, double hunt put on by the Brittany Club and Vizsla Club.

We’re pleased to report that four of the puppies from Chev and Finley’s litter, now almost 10 months old, have completed their NAVHDA test of Natural Ability (NA test) and they did GREAT!  Dutch and Stache earned Prize 1’s (the top prize) and Atz and Xupe earned Prize 2’s.  Kudos to Bob, Kris and Kelly for their work getting their Griffs ready.  No small feat!

Here are a few shots from two of the test days…
