WORKING CERTIFICATE TESTS

PHILOSOPHY

The Working Certificate Test Program is an introduction to field work for both dog and handler. The program is designed to give Cockers and all other Flushing Spaniels the opportunity to test their natural hunting skills in a non-competitive atmosphere. The Working Test Program supports fieldwork, urging owners to train their Spaniels to a hunting companion level. Two awards may be earned. The WD-WORKING DOG certificate for satisfactory work, and the WDX-WORKING DOG EXCELLENT for outstanding work. The ASC encourages the versatility of our SPORTING COCKERS in the field. The Working Test Program is viewed as a first step towards AKC HUNT TESTS.
