AWSC HUNT TESTS

The AWSC offers a hunt test program designed to thoroughly test American Water Spaniels as all-around field dogs.  There are four test levels offered in the program that correspond to the following available titles: Started Dog (SD), Working Dog (WD), Working Dog Excellent (WDX), and Working Dog Superior (WDS).

-- See 2010 AWSC National Specialty above --

AWS RETRIEVING CERTIFICATION TESTS (RCT)

Before an American Water Spaniel can be awarded an AKC hunt test title it must complete not only the AKC's requirements but two passes of the AWS Retrieving Certification Test for the specific title level sought. These tests may be sponsored by the AWSC, AWSC members, AWS owners, and AKC spaniel and retriever clubs.

-- See 2010 AWSC National Specialty above --

If you would like to learn how you may be able to sponsor and conduct and RCT in your areas, please contact Steve O'Neal at toneal2324@netzero.net
