Master Hunting Test.  Must show a keen desire to hunt, must have a bold and attractive manner of running, and must demonstrate not only intelligence in seeking objectives, but also the ability to find game.  The dog must hunt for its handler at all times at a range suitable for a handler on foot, and should show or check in front of its handler frequently.  It must cover adequate ground but never range out-of-sight for a length of time that would detract from its usefulness as a practical hunting companion.  The dog must locate game, must point staunchly, and must be steady to wing and shot on all birds and if it breaks, it cannot receive a Qualifying score.  Intelligent use of the wind and terrain in locating game, accurate nose, and intensity on point are essential. Whenever it encounters its bracemate on point, it must honor.  A dog that steals its bracemate's point cannot receive a Qualifying score. The dog must demonstrate steadiness to wing and shot.  The handler shall not command or signal the dog to retrieve until positive steadiness has been demonstrated.  The dog must retrieve promptly, tenderly and absolutely to hand.
