MARSPORT DOGS HUNTING AT A HIGHER LEVEL

DC Sunquest's Marsport Manhattan, "Max" has earned both his show and Open Field Championship


GCh Sunquest Cimmaron Catch the Wind has field trial points and multiple field placements.
Both Max & Chase are owned by Hank & Dee Hartnek
   

If only…we could own a dog that heeled to field, worked the cover to perfection, held a point and honored, was steady to wing and shot and retrieved to hand, all without a word being said. These dogs are called Master Hunters and Jeff Gilchrist owns 2. Jeff trained these Marsport Brittanys himself and he earned those titles. His sense of humor is special. Jeff is the consummate gentleman, always willing to help others and honor their accomplishments. Says Jeff, “I can think of few things that have brought me more fulfillment and simple happiness than these 2 dogs and learning the art of hunting over pointing dogs. Even now, after 2 AKC Master Hunt Test Titles, they continue to fascinate me, and remind me of how much I have yet to learn; and not just about dogs…life is an unutterably mysterious journey.”  

Trace, below, is Jeff’s newest Marsport dog, earned his AKC Senior Hunt Test title at 16 months of age.

Bob Clark and Jasper

Jasper earned his AKC Master Hunt title & his show Grand Champion. "What a pleasure to have everything go so well in the field. But I can tell you; you have to put your time in too. Marsport provided the genes and the support system, Jeff and I provided the training. And Jasper is my buddy too.”

Just a Note: ABOUT HUNTING AND AKC HUNT TESTS
Hunt tests are fun and a fun way to expand your field experience with your dog. They are helpful in pointing out little things you and your dog can improve. They are held year round except for the hot summer months. All dogs shown on the “FUN DAYS IN THE FIELD…” page are capable of earning advanced titles. Many owners of Marsport Brittanys have earned Junior Hunt Test titles on their dogs. I would say all Marsport Brittanys are capable of earning the Junior Hunt Test title if the owner chooses.
