Hoot is 62lbs of muscle and desire with an eager to learn personality. He is a great companion in the house or in the field. By 18 months old he qualified in 12 out of 12 NAHRA hunt tests to earn his first 3 titles. He will run with the big dogs in the spring. He is a good marker, runs good lines on land and water, handles well on cold blinds, very good upland hunter, and will trail a cripple till he finds it. He is a fast dog with a lot of eye appeal and very intent on his job, but is under control at all times. I have never used an e-collar or force fetched or forced him to do anything. He does his job because he enjoys it as a well bred dog should. In short, he is the real deal.

Hoot played very well with the big dogs this year. He passed his first NAHRA Senior Test on 4/21/13. On 5/11/13, he earned his Master Hunter Retriever (MHR) title. He earned an invitation to the NAHRA Invitational, NAHRA's national double pointed tests August 8, 9 and 10. By qualifying in this test, he earned the points to earn the title GMHR (Grand Master Hunting Retriever). Hoot was retired from competition on 8/10/13, 3 months before his third birthday. Earning his GMHR at this age is a testament to his mind and trainability. From now on it's just hunting, which he also does very well. I have two of his pups out of different mothers and they are training just like he did.
