Hunting

Hunting Tests evaluate a dog's hunting abilities on different elements
of pointing, retrieving or flushing. The dog's ability to perform is judged
against a standard of perfection established by the AKC Regulations;
theoretically, every dog can be a winner!
Dogs receiving Qualifying Scores at a number of tests achieve titles of
Junior Hunter (J.H.), Senior Hunter (S.H.) and Master Hunter (M.H.); each
successive title requires more skill. If you have a good hunting dog, you
probably would be able to earn a Junior Hunter title with only a moderate
amount of work.
Because of their inborn field ability, Cocker Spaniels make excellent Hunt Dogs.
