Upland Hunt Test

[Lab Head]

Yes, when we set up an upland training day it is just like an upland hunt test....... other than the use of e-collars, check cords, etc. Being that it is a training day any training device of your choice can be used. When it comes time to run an actual test, no collars or other training devices can be used (other than whistles). Each dog gets two live birds, therefore, it is $24/run/dog. As far as joining the club, coming out to one training day would be fine anything more than that I'd say you would have to join. Membership fee's do pay for our club insurance, training grounds, etc.

Jeff,

I might drive up for the training day on Saturday. Are you expecting a decent turn-out?

Jeff-

Generally we do have a really good turn out so only time will tell what Saturday will be like. Definitely the colder it is the fewer members that attend.

Hi Victor, welcome to RTF!! I don't know where Quantico, VA is but click on this link to HRC's website. You should then be able to pan over to VA and you could see what club's might be in your area. http://www.huntingretrieverclub.org/maps.shtml Let me know if this link worked for you or not. Good luck!

If you have never ran an Upland analyze study the concept guide to find out what is needed for an Upland dog. Also, if you are part of a team in your place go to their Upland exercising times. If you have any further concerns please experience totally free and ask me.

I might have to come up for the day and check the UH test out......for joining the club and what an UH test looks like.

Hi Schmidt- You may also want to come to the Judges/Handlers Seminar on Saturday, February 16th that we are hosting in Hugo. You will gain a lot of information on hunt tests in general. There is more information on our website: http://www.llhrc.org/forums/calendar...ent&calEid=344
