Mock Hunt Test Training Day!
Saturday April 16th, 2011 8:30 AM
The Mock Hunt Test is open to RMPLC members and Non-Members with Pointing Labs. Non Members may join by including their dues with their entry or on the day of the event, or pay an extra fee to participate. We will be running a CPR event with Upland and Water testing. Advanced and Masters Events will be available too, based on the number of entrants. The Teal Lodge has excellent water venues that allow quality training and testing for you and your dogs.
Participants will be expected to work as Hunt Test Staff as well as handle their dogs. This work may entail bird planting, bird throwing, marshalling or other assignments to make our Test Day a success. Please plan to spend at least 4 hours in support of your fellow members/handlers.
Dress Code: All people in the field and/or handling dogs will be required to wear blaze orange head gear and some orange on their upper body. If you want to be a Gunner, you will need a current Small Game License; Gunners will be approved by the Hunt Test Chairs or their designate.
All participants will be required to register at the Lodge, and complete an indemnity agreement for the Teal Lodge.
The Hunt Test Experience:
Upland runs will be per APLA regulations. Upland will be limited to 15 dogs. First come, first served.
Running orders will be determined based on registration numbers, and Test Stakes will be announced. The Hunt Test will be conducted as close to an approved APLA Test as possible-handlers may experience a wait for their “run”. APLA approved Judges will provide not only judging in the field, but will be available to provide feedback to the handler on their performance and their dogs.
