A good friend has one of those. Very nice dog. Big as hell though! My friend brags that she is the smartest dog he has ever seen but he hasn't taught her anything. Supposedly going to be a blood tracker.

Strict testing requires them to do it all as a breed. Puppy test in the spring (VJP) is basically a natural ability test to measure the pups inherited potential. Pup is scored on tracking, nose, search, pointing, and cooperation.
On the flip side is the HZP which is a fall breed test that my pup will be taking next year. It has all the categories of the VJP, plus desire, search behind duck (following duck scent trail across water), blind retrieve of duck, 300 meter retrieve of game placed by drag track, manner or retrieve (sit and hold to deliver), and obedience.
Lastly is the VGP which is a utility test which is 2 days of 2 dozen scoring areas. Everything in the HZP plus a fox retrieve, 400m blood track, steadiness to wing and shoot, and land deficient.
In order to breed, a puppy MUST pass all of these tests with a certain score. Pretty complex stuff that the VDD GNA uses in order to assure that these dogs are 100% bred to hunt everything.
