Kasbah earned Master Upland Hunter title At the Airedale Nationals in Ohio,and was the only Airedale this year to do so. The test is rigorous initially finding, flushing and retrieving three Chukars while being steady to wing and shot,which means sitting after the bird takes flight and not chasing till released. Separately she retrieved three other birds thrown 180 degrees apart and is intentionally interrupted coming back with the first bird by a thrown third diversion bird purpose to confuse her which later had to be found. In the afternoon this retrieving was repeated but with her swimming after birds in a pond, she did us all proud, land and water! Ed
