Congratulations are in order for Caleb, who secured 1st place at the Oberländer test in 2020, showcasing his exceptional skills as a handler. Caleb achieved this remarkable feat while guiding his dog, Hondo vom Seymour, through the test with finesse and precision, resulting in an impressive HZP (Herbstzuchtprüfung) score of 193.
Hondo vom Seymour’s performance under Caleb’s guidance speaks volumes about the bond and training between the duo. The HZP test is known for its rigorous assessment of a dog’s hunting abilities during the autumn season, covering aspects such as pointing, tracking, and retrieving game. Hondo’s high score indicates not only his individual talent but also Caleb’s proficiency in training and handling him effectively.
In addition to Caleb’s success, the performance of other dogs from the Seymour lineage is also noteworthy. Hattie vom Seymour achieved a commendable score of 187, demonstrating her competence in the test. Similarly, Ice vom Seymour’s score of 183 reflects another strong showing from the Seymour bloodline.
However, Izak vom Seymour faced a setback with a failed attempt on the rabbit drag, resulting in a score of 167. Despite this, Izak’s performance highlights areas for improvement and provides valuable insights for future training and development.
Overall, Caleb’s victory, alongside the performances of Hondo, Hattie, Ice, and Izak, showcases the talent, dedication, and competitive spirit within the Seymour kennel. It’s a testament to the hard work of both handlers and dogs alike in preparing for and participating in such demanding tests.
