Working HPR Gundogs

There's a Grouse Pointing Test at Danby in N Yorks on Sat 21st March and I thought about entering Mia but does anyone know what would be expected of an 8 month old puppy in these tests
It would be great experience for both of us, but don't know if I've done enough with her Her recall to whistle is very good and she will sit tho not at a great distance away from me She quarters with Tash but I haven't done anything really on the pointing side of things

Methinks I'd should have gone on the Reeth training days this week-end with her, maybe I'm trying to walk before I can run

Nice pics Kev, whose the chap with the tash??

We were thinking of doing some Spring Points ourselves.
What is actually required of the dog and handler on a pointing day?

Man with tash is Roy bebbington, what they require is to see a dog showing natural hunting ability turning into the wind at the end of its beat, steady to fur and sheep steady to flush, and under control ie no chasing, birds , sheep, bunnys
