I picked C
I agree because my spaniel won't hunt.
To determine which statement is false, we need to examine each statement and determine if it is accurate or not.
Statement A says that in a hunting test, a dog competes against a standard of perfection rather than against other dogs. This statement is true. In a hunting test, the dog's performance is evaluated based on its ability to meet specific criteria and achieve a standard set by the test organizers, rather than by comparing it directly to other dogs.
Statement B claims that a hunting test is a non-competitive event. This statement is also true. Unlike field trials, which are competitive events, hunting tests focus on evaluating a dog's abilities rather than determining a winner.
Statement C suggests that hunting tests are available for pointing breeds, retrievers, spaniels, and hounds. This statement is true. Hunting tests are indeed available for these different breeds, as each breed has its own specific hunting abilities and skills that can be assessed in a test.
Statement D asserts that hunting tests closely resemble actual hunting conditions. This statement is true. Hunting tests are designed to simulate real hunting situations as closely as possible, allowing dogs to demonstrate their hunting capabilities in a controlled environment.
Therefore, the false statement is not C, but rather B. A hunting test is not a non-competitive event, as it involves evaluating and comparing the performance of different dogs based on predefined criteria.
