We'll be editing our planned litter post... Pending AKC, Kricket will now be known as FC AFC Dark Knight's Moon Kricket vd Himmel MH, after passing both Master Hunter runs yesterday at the combined Mason Dixon GSP Club Walking Trial and Hunt Test.
She ran on approx day 28 of her pregnancy and wanted to show her pups how it's done, with an almost perfect run in the morning of all 10's and a 9. Her afternoon run in the heat, while also very good at 3- 9's and 3- 8's, was a bit rougher go with high temps and several hunt test shenanigans by the Red Gods causing her some grief, that she overcame pretty well. If you've run in test you know the "did that really just happen?" scenario's lol!
We never pursued Master Hunter hard with her, taking 3 or 4 years of a test here, test there in between Field Trial seasons and litters and she still went 6 passes for 7 attempts, with a couple perfect runs of straight 10's.
Big thanks to the Mason Dixon GSP Club, all the behind the scenes folks that make it happen and Judges. I particularly appreciated Judge Carmen Musto thanking Kricket for putting the "Master" back in Master Hunter and a couple great pix.
As a side note, she only got 2 days of training work last week, after enjoying a summer of loafing and not having run since May. Once trained correctly, they don't forget!
Kricket is owned by Jonathan Sensinger and Alayna Sensinger, co-owned, trained and handled by Bruce Shaffer.
