Nine of the ten pups from my April 2024 Litter, Elsa III vom Tecklendburger Land & Erik vom Gusseisen, have successfully completed the VJP, natural ability field evaluation. The 10th one will complete the evaluation May 4th. I was elated with the results. I want to thank their owns for all the hard work preparing their pups. I especially want to thanks Elsa's breeder, Erwin Walmann, who was kind enough to let me have Elsa and guide me when picking her mate. For 45 years he has been developing his line, and it shows.
This was the first time for all the handlers, but one, have completed this type of evaluation. In fact, in most cases this was the first hunting dog many of them have ever had.
The maximum score possible is 77, or 11 in every category. It is possible to receive a 12 in a category but requires very special performance and required the judges to write a report of why they awarded a 12.
