My name is Kensi Wiggins, and I am a 4th grade student in VA. Luna is a one-year-old Vizsla. Her registered name is Crimson Sky’s Total Eclipse. I had to teach her to find birds and listen to me when I told her which way to go. When she found a bird, she would have to stay on point until I flushed it. The hardest thing for me was making the starter pistol shoot when the bird was flying away.
The day we went to the hunt test, I had to sign-in. All the other handlers were grown-ups with much more experience. When it was mine and Luna’s turn, we were braced with a Brittany. Luna ran fast and found the first bird. It was hard to get the starter pistol out of my holster, but Luna stayed still until I found the bird and shot. One time, I could not find her because the grass was over my head. The judge was on a horse and told me to look in another place. I found her pointing again.
When we got back, my mom was so happy and excited. We went to the clubhouse and found out Luna and I passed! We did another hunt test later that day and two more on Sunday. We passed all our tests with an average score of 9! Luna is now a Junior Hunter and I got to keep the ribbons!
I really liked all the people there because they were nice, and I saw a lot of dogs including some cute Brittany puppies. I hope I get to do more Hunt Tests with my dogs.
