HUNT TEST
The American Kennel Club Hunting Tests enable owners to have the hunting abilities of their dogs evaluated and
graded against written hunting standards, without competition, under simulated but near-natural hunting conditions.  
Local clubs are permitted to hold four hunting tests per calendar year.  The hunting test program is a program of
certification; it seeks to identify and officially recognize those dogs that possess the abilities that enable them to
serve effectively as personal hunting companions.  Certification is provided on three levels in the form of the official
AKC suffix titles Junior Hunter (JH), Senior Hunter (SH) and Master Hunter (MH).
