Mock Hunt Test!
Date
Place
This will be a great opportunity to expose your young dog to birds and Hunt Test situations. We'll have HT judges there to give feedback and advice. We will have horses for the judges to ride which will be great experience for dogs not accustomed to them.
Senior
and Master level dogs are welcome, too. Handlers are free to use collars and
make corrections on course. Gunners will shoot birds for retrieve for SH and
MH.
A nominal fee ($10-$15) will be charged to cover two birds per dog and field rental. Braces will be 25-30 minutes for SH and MH dogs with live gunfire and 15-20 minutes for Junior dogs. Everyone is welcome to take their dogs into the field after the braces have been run (starter pistols only) for more practice on birds. Additional birds will be available for purchase at $4 each.
More details to come. Please RSVP to me at claudia_park@ yahoo.com with your dog(s)' name and stake entered (JH, SH, MH). You can pay in person on Dec. 12.
Looking
forward to seeing you there! This will be great preparation for the VCMA Hunt
Test on these grounds
