There's already a competition to test retriever's skill sets, it's called Field Trials. They're sanctioned by the American Kennel Club and you get fancy blue ribbons when you win one. If you wanna test your dog against a standard to see if it can hang, they have Hunt Tests. You either pass or fail by meeting a certain criteria. They give fancy orange ribbons if you pass. Go sign your dog up if you think he's got what it takes to be a "Ribbon Dog".
