[B]PURPOSE
The purpose of a retriever field trial is to determine
the relative merits of retrievers in the field and to test
both the natural and trained abilities desired in a
hunting retriever. Tests should be held in a natural
hunting terrain and should be designed to test and
separate the competing dogs with the dogs giving the
best performances on that particular day being
awarded placement. All dogs running in the trial
should be given the opportunity to run as many of the
tests as time and circumstances allow and if
completing the tests in a satisfactory manner, shall be
awarded certificates of merit.
