Further, walking gun dogs in the FDSB/AFTCA are a great place for beginning trialers to start with their hunting dog. The US Complete recognizes the gundog stakes and compiles win points for dog of the year awards.
Here is a tricky point of the Gun dog. The FDSB/AFTCA does not have a "gun dog" stakes that they recognize so when either of them receive the gun dog essential data form, reporting the placements in the stake, they file it as a "shooting dog" placement. The FDSB/American Field will report and add it to your dogs pedigree as a shooting dog win. If on the essential data form the box indication that the stakes was run to "minimum standards" was checked, then the AFTCA records that as a shooting dog win and issues your dog a shooting dog win certificate, making it eligible to run in a championship.
