Cassie’s Natural Aptitude Test
The object of the Natural Aptitude Test (NAT) is to look for the natural working ability in the hunt, point and retrieve gun-dog. The NAT is divided into 7 parts; hunting, pointing, gun-shyness, swimming, retrieving, tracking and biddability. each part is judged and marked separately. We do not work Cassie but she has always shown the ability to be a good working dog so decided to brush up on her gun-dog skills and enter the NAT.
The test was arranged by the Large Munsterlander Club and held at Cowbog Farm, Kelso, Scotland.
I am very pleased to say Cassie passed all parts and gained her certificate of Natural Aptitude In The Field.
The picture below is of our friends Kate and Matt with their lovely boy Dougie who also passed his certificate.
