DEFINITION OF LICENSED HUNTS
Regular licensed hunt: A UKC regular licensed event hosted by an approved UKC/HRC Club. All three categories (Started, Seasoned and Finished) must be offered at every regular licensed hunt other than the International Grand Hunt. The three categories will be run simultaneously. These tests range from the Started Hunt Test, which is the least complex in testing; to the Seasoned, a slightly more difficult category; to the Finished Hunt Test, which is considered by far the most demanding of these three tests. The Finished category requires the hunting retriever to prove ability, skill, natural
instinct, tenacity and control.
An HRC Club may host a UKC licensed Upland Hunt test(s) in one of three ways: a. with its regularly scheduled licensed hunt; b. on a different day as a separate licensed event; or c. on a different day from a separate licensed event, hosting two Upland Hunts in one day.

The program took nearly a decade of work and comprehensive investigation by the teams of medical professionals at these institutions... the disease is reported to be widespread, with only 53 percent of the test dogs showing a NORMAL report.
What is Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC)? The EIC researchers state that dogs affected with EIC can tolerate mild to moderate exercise, but 5 to 20 minutes of strenuous exercise with extreme excitement induces weakness and then collapse...
