NATURAL APTITUDE TESTS

TESTING YOUR DOG'S NATURAL ABILITY


Natural Aptitude Test 2024

Sunday 15th September
Old Sleningford Farm, North Stainley, Ripon, HG4 3JB​
​​
Schedule
Entry Form
Ideally every Large Munsterlander would do at least one Natural Aptitude Test during its lifetime as it is helps to preserve the working origins of the breed. And to that end the LMC invites anyone with a Large Munsterlander, particularly those new to the breed, to attend a Natural Aptitude Day.  

We welcome novice handlers. This test is all about the dogs inbuilt natural ability.  The day is relaxed, informal and your Munsterlander will love it!

What to expect

The object of the natural aptitude test (NAT) is to look for the natural working ability present in the hunter pointer retriever (HPR) gundog when exposed to working stimuli. We are not looking for a “trained” gundog, but reasonable control is essential. The dog should return to you when called and be attentive to you when required.

​Every dog whether a pet or a working gundog MUST have control and discipline. The test is divided into seven parts: hunting, pointing, gunshyness, retrieving, swimming, tracking and biddability. Each part is judged and marked separatel​y.
