Emma (Victory’s M) earns her 1st Master Retriever Pass
June 4, 2023 / Steve and Betsy SurprenantEmma earned her first master pass in an AKC licensed retriever hunt test at PVGRC’s hunt test on June 3 and 4 at Rover’s Content. The only Flat-Coat to be entered at the master level, Emma carried the colors for our breed. It’s been a long road of training and work; Emma is eight years old and we didn’t enter our first master level retriever hunt test until last fall. Lots of friends gave us great support over the years to keep going; Emma and I stayed at it, and Emma’s hard work paid off at PVGRC.
