Hunt Test Photography Vol. 2

Coming November 2026.

Experience the 2026 hunt test season through the lens of professional Hunt Test Photography in Volume 2 of this annual collection, created for those who live for working retrievers.

From explosive water entries to hard-charging land retrieves, this collection captures the focus, and determination of dogs competing for AKC hunt test titles across Arkansas, New York, Maine, Connecticut, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

Inside are authentic moments featuring Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers, Boykin Spaniels, German Shorthaired Pointers, Standard Poodles, Curly-Coated Retrievers, and Flat-Coated Retrievers—each doing exactly what they were bred to do.

No studio setups. No staged poses. Just nature, fields, birds, water, wind, and the unmistakable grit of hunting dogs locked on the retrieve. Every photograph preserves a split-second moment that can never be recreated, celebrating the athleticism, instinct, and partnership that define the sport.

Whether you spend your weekends running hunt tests, training the next generation of gun dogs, breeding future champions, or simply appreciate sporting dogs doing what they were bred to do, this book belongs on your coffee table.

Volume 2 continues the story, preserving another unforgettable season of Hunt Test Photography for the competitors, clubs, and dogs that make this sport extraordinary.
