Corinna’s NAVHDA Natural Ability Test
On August 26, 2005 Robert and Nancy Wheeldon travelled to North Dakota in the United States to test the female pup from the Kornstube line chosen to eventually produce dogs suitable for falconry.
The Natural Ability Test measures seven hereditary characteristics that are the basis of a good versatile hunting dog.
- Use of nose
- Search
- Pointing
- Desire to work
- Cooperation
- Water
- Tracking
There are three phases for this test:
1) The field phase
2) The tracking phase
3) The water phase.
Additionally, there is judgement of physical characteristics such as coat and bite.
Parkland Mews is pleased to report that Corinna vom Jagdkonig received a Prize One rating with a 112 perfect score in the Natural Ability Test.
