SLEEPY HOLLOW HUNTING TRIAL
event information
About
Welcome to this month's Hunting Trial! This trial offers a working field option for dogs that do not necessarily fit the more traditional Field Trial but are still used across the world for different game purposes. In proceeding, please be aware that this is a no-kill version of the trial! All game should be either properly caged where appropriate or only dogs able to be called off animals should be used. Game is to be tagged and documented rather than hunted.
Please read the rules in the second post of this thread and make sure you follow them when participating. Keep in mind that participating dogs must be 2 years or older and must be registered with the SIKC.
Please make sure that you have a general knowledge of what kind of hunter your breed(s) may be. We have provided a loose guide to help, but wrongful placements will result in a disqualification. Feel free to ask an Admin if you aren't sure!
Pictures of an incorrect size, death, pregnancy/nursing, retirement of a dog before results are posted, additional pictures exceeding the required amount, or editing of a post without permission from an Admin, Mod, or Judge will result in disqualification!
